Eric Schmidt is painting a pretty grim picture, especially when considering his other views on privacy:
"If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place. If you really need that kind of privacy, the reality is that search engines -- including Google -- do retain this information for some time and it's important, for example, that we are all subject in the United States to the Patriot Act and it is possible that all that information could be made available to the authorities." - Eric Schmidt

- jasonlotito 17y agoYou are twisting his words (or at least your comment makes it seem like you are). He doesn't suggest that you shouldn't do these things. Rather that the reality is these days, if you don't want people to find things out, the only guaranteed way of preventing that is by not doing it. This isn't his view on privacy; rather, it's his view on the state or privacy. Where it currently stands.
