If you're curious, Google is quite open about what and how they log from their DNS services:
https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/privacy https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/privacy
So they don't track personally-identifiable information directly; it's certainly possible you could de-anonymize someone from their dataset, but most of what they do track is on their end (what machine handled the request, how quickly, etc.)
- dnautics 10y agoThe thing is, let's say Google reneged on their promises and started violating privacy on 8.8.8.8 - would it be up to the FCC to enforce that or the FTC to enforce it as fraudulent behavior?
- ballenf 10y agoVery good question. It could be handled similarly to the fiasco of google's street view cars 'hacking' poorly protected wireless routers. They got a pretty serious smack on the wrist for that. https://epic.org/privacy/streetview/ https://epic.org/privacy/streetview/
