Lack of transparency is itself a problem, because it means when things fuck up in the future there's less ability to recover.

- lrem 12y agoTrue, but Google has a long tradition of not revealing its internal processes. That's because whenever people thought they understand how it works, they tried to game it. That's why there are hundreds of spam comments that get through recaptcha on my blog each month (and I'm nowhere near a popular blogger). I imagine they don't want people trying to game this system.
- munificent 12y agoHow could Google be transparent here? The whole point of the legislation is to stop publicizing information. Google can't exactly publicly tell the world about everyone they've been told to stop publicly telling the world about, can they?
