I don't think I would put Eric in that list. There were some stores about him in the press.

- callahad 16y agoAre you thinking of the "if you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place" quote? If you look at the full quote [0], it's actually quite reasonable and forthright. He's explicitly warning users that search engines, including Google, are subject to inquiries from law enforcement, and thus, should not be considered secure, rather than dismissing privacy out of hand.

- jk8 16y agoNo, I wasn't thinking of that quote but now I cannot remember the article. It was around the time Google released Buzz and I think it was he who hinted that how the users got it wrong. Am I wrong to think that it was him who said that?
- jasonlotito 16y agoNo, but I also don't disagree with him. He was right for the most part. More importantly, nothing has been done to fix the problem. Everyone blamed Google, but few people have actually attempted to fix the problem of privacy, or even offer up solutions. At the end of the day, Google has done more good for privacy then all the users screaming at them.
- jk8 16y ago@jasonlotito Yes, I do agree that they are doing more for privacy than the rest.
- jrockway 16y agoYeah, but Google should overthrow the government and set up one without subpoena power. Otherwise, they're just not doing all they could to protect my privacy. (I think I'm being sarcastic.)
