Google's Schmidt 'outraged' by NSA snooping
- a3n 13y ago> "The fact of the matter is that citizens have a right to privacy in democracies," [Schmidt] said. Ahem. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2009/12/google-ceo-eric-schmidt-dismisses-privacy https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2009/12/google-ceo-eric-schmid... > When asked during an interview for CNBC's recent "Inside the Mind of Google" special about whether users should be sharing information with Google as if it were a "trusted friend," Schmidt responded, "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place." I don't want anyone to know that I searched for certain medical information. Should I not search for it? Unavoidable that Google would know what I searched for, although DDG I believe doesn't save or act on that information. As for the NSA, well, they're going to know everything about me; as far as I can tell from Schmidt's earlier statement and the NSA's current behavior I should just STFU and disconnect.
