Just exactly what do you understand for privacy and public? The only medium that is still totally free is air -for how long, is hard to say! Everything else is subject to oversight. There is NO public internet. No surprises people, as the say goes, read the fine-print and what you agree to, whenever you go online, your statements (images, photos and text so far) are no longer private. Patriot Act has statutory limitations on privacy and that is not his call but the law. Like NOT? appeal it.

@MutantBamHammer My god, I could never have put it so eloquently. Bravo.

Schmidt looks down at scofflaws who hid slaves in America before the end of slavery in America, just like he frowns upon people who hid jews in Nazi Germany when the Nazis were trying to kill all of the jews (as a matter of "national defense"). After all, "if you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place."

Brings to mind the movie: "1984"

@bacoosta1 He essentially said that the internet (THE BASTASTION OF DARK KNOWLEDGE, PORN, AND THINGS YOU REALLY CAN'T BE BLAMED FOR LOOKING AT BUT ARE SOCIALY OBLIGATED TO BE POSSIBLY HAVE YOUR SOCIAL LIFE ETERANLY DESTROYED OVER) is all your searches is belong to us and we can tell everyone about your deep dark secrets and sexual fantasies should we so choose and fuck you if you think that wrong we will ruin your life until you commit suicide. It's your problem for being human not ours.

@VanMedia Well, I'm not sure if you're referring to the Swedish government or the American government, but I think it's more acceptable for a government to have photos of it's own country, rather than a corporation having photos of private residences, don't you?
-
@PhobosCVIII the government's been taking pictures of your house via satellite from way back then, i don't see you complaining about that. also it takes a picture of your house from bird eye's view. so is your house really that special? do you do illegal stuff that you are so worried about satellite pics of your house ? you sell drugs or bury people in your backyard?

@VanMedia It's funny, because even if you don't use google at all, it's still taken pictures of your house :P
fuck you Mr. Schmidt. I would like to see what you google.

I'm not sure what else you guys are expecting. I'm not saying it's ideal, but I really don't see any other logical way for things to be done. 1. Google retains information for many reasons. 2. legally, they'd have to give information to the authorities if needed. 3. the service is FREE. You don't have to use it if you don't want to. Again, I'm not saying the situation is ideal, but I really don't know what else anyone was expecting.
