Google CEO Is Wrong On Privacy Importance

Posted by on Dec 10, 2009 | One Comment

There should be an image here!This article about Google’s CEO seeing personal privacy as being unimportant was hardly a shock. But what needs to be examined, is the sheer volume of data we give Google each and ever day.

And clearly, the EFF is none too impressed with the CEO’s stance on privacy. Rightfully so, being that personal privacy is a big deal for the EFF and the Google heads’ comments are border offensive to many people.

Clearly, Google’s CEO wants to have privacy apply to him, but not to the rest of the world. Sorry, not going to work. We as free people, value our privacy and right to protect it. So to the Google CEO, I would suggest he go ahead and publish his personal data…being it is not really such a big deal apparently.

    The right to privacy is of course, fundamental to the American way. This guy is making money on abridging other people’s right to privacy so obviously, he is dismissive about it.
    Make no mistake; this is a fundamental battleground and one that cannot be lost.
    He obviously does not want anyone to know about his private dealing and yet is willing to ‘sell’ the rest of us out.
    There are those who contend that there is no such thing as privacy in a post 911 world.
    Let me tell you something, I lost good friends and lovers in that tragic failure of national security but I am not willing to trade even the most insignificant freedom over it.
    In the immortal words of Ben Franklin:
    “Those who are willing to trade Freedom for security deserve neither.”
    This is just one more example of the traders (or traitors) thinking…
