We believe in Google. This phrase should be printed on all dollar bills. We, a nation preoccupied with privacy issues, easily reveal our most secret secrets to the whole world.
But what if I tell you that I know all the sites that you visit, read all the letters that you have ever written or received, every message in the messenger that you have ever sent, and the contents of each call you made ? I know how much you pay for the apartment, how much money is in your account. I even know that you collect gnome sculptures. You will surely be beside yourself with anger.
But what if I say that there is already a system that collects all this information, has been doing this for several years, and is not connected with any government? Yes, it exists, it’s called Google - a huge informational “black box”.
Google is a search giant that will not stop until it collects and digitizes every piece of information that has ever been created - from the Constitution to a student’s diary. They believe that this is their destiny, and people continue to feed the monster devouring data. For what? For the sake of a few gigabytes for mail and file storage? Is this the price you are willing to pay to reveal all the secrets to the world?
Everyone remembers the deal on Google to buy part of the shares of AOL? The key to it is AOL Instant Messenger, a communication system with a multimillion-dollar audience. Remember my words: in less than 2 years, Google is fully integrated with AOL, and then begins to collect all our messages (both useful and useless).
And what protects you from such gloomy prospects? User data protection policy - privacy policy. A document written by Google’s lawyers that will protect the company if something goes wrong. All your unlimited faith in a multi-billion-dollar company whose main goal is to collect all the information on earth is based on that privacy policy page. Exactly: You believe in Google. But not me.
Has anyone researched google management procedures? How long do the search query logs last? Where do emails go to GMail after you delete them? Are backups well protected? Is encryption strong? Did hackers gain access to any information stored on Google? Are they sharing information with the government behind their users?
People willingly share with Google the information that the NSA (US National Security Agency) only dreams about - to know EVERYTHING about you. You don’t even need to be a registered user to be indexed. When Google begins to work as a provider, they will definitely become the basis of the Internet. When this happens, your network traffic will somehow reach them - and Google will be able to completely structure and save ALL information.
And at that moment the government will join the work. To find out something interesting about you and your life, all the Justice Department will need is a secret request from its own court (everyone already knows that they have one), which will surely be satisfied. User number 8.889.863.279 from now on - under the microscope, no secrets.
Why Google? Because they announced a long-term campaign to collect all the information. Although it is necessary to check "for lice" everyone. Make them adhere to more stringent standards than the “privacy policy” - and ask more questions before giving them information.
