Is anyone else not terribly concerned about this? I wonder if this isn't an overreaction: I suspect I'd rather Google keep collecting wireless data and improving its location services. I'm vastly more concerned about, say, what Google is or isn't doing with my Google searches, my Google Reader behavior, my Gmail accounts...
- ErrantX 16y agoOn another forum I hang out there was a great long discussion about this when it surface - I was about the only one who thought it wasn't too massive an issue. So there is concern out there; I'm glad they are being open about it. One less for the conspiracy theorists :)
- cpg 16y agoId say more "score one for the regulators". At least in one country. Without them this (and presumably other things) would not have been caught.
- amalcon 16y agoIt isn't a big deal. The question is, why is Google seemingly making such a big effort on this front, when they're dismissing other concerns (like what they're doing with your searches) as not a big deal? I mean, I'm not one who's particularly nuts about Google and privacy -- we've known they're in the data mining business all along, anyway. This just smells very strongly of a PR move.
- SoftwareMaven 16y agoI agree. It is probably an attempt to mitigate damage that would happen when the regulators announce their findings.
