- godgod 13y agoThe EFF is correct. Google is in lock step with the US governments plans of the complete erosion of our privacy rights. Google knows a lot about us all and the feds want that info.
- pekk 13y agoIt isn't accurate to state that the US government "plans the complete erosion of our privacy rights".
- cmiles74 13y agoIt certainly seems as if it does. They repeatedly pursue strategies to gain access to private data and actively work against compromise or safeguards. If that is too strong, I think everyone has to agree that shoring up privacy rights is something they are clearly hindering.

- kps 13y agoWhere does the article conflate Google with a governmental body?
- mwfunk 13y agoWith the implicit assumption that there is any expectation or obligation for Google to conform to some level of openness, especially in (relatively) new products, as if it were paid for with taxpayer money and they owe us something in return. We can say that we wish it were more open, or that we won't use it because it isn't open, but I don't understand the attitude that they are committing some colossal ethical lapse or failing some social contract by not having it be more open at this stage.
