Message-ID: <430E7F25.6050401@logicaldevelopments.com.au> Date: Fri Aug 26 03:32:19 2005 From: jallen at logicaldevelopments.com.au (Justin Allen) Subject: talk.google.com If you also read another part of the policy[1] it states that: " We conclude that we are required by law or have a good faith belief that access, preservation or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of Google, its users or the public." Meaning that they will only disclose your information if they have a good reason to, not just give it out whenever they want. I really don't see why people are so paranoid about this, Google is doing nothing illegal or even unethical. Does it really matter if another country knows about where John Doe lives or what he gets up to anyway? [1] http://www.google.com/privacy.html Technica Forensis wrote: >I've read it.
