Google CEO Eric Schmidt Responds to Consumer Watchdog

What gives Goggle the right to poke their nose in to where we all live! DOWN WITH GOOGLE!!! SCUM

Google has strong economic reasons to not violate privacy. That guy's questioning is just nonsense, you can have a SSL connection, other people can as well, what you're complaining about again?

The biggest threat is not one big company, it's thousands of other companies with smaller market share that has nothing to lose if they exploit user's privacy.

If you're worried that Google will became too big and powerful, don't worry, soon enough there'll be another one. Look at IBM, Microsoft, ...

They have had no meeting as of yet and Schmidt has not returned any follow ups to meet him.  He tried to set up a meeting after this, but was denied access to meet with Schmidt.

Confronting billionaire high tech execs is always a good thing, even when the organization doing it is marketing their valid concern about privacy. That's how you get the billionaire's attention. Keep it up!

Google CEO Eric Schmidt's snotty responce to Mr. John Simpson's inquiry is really the model illustration of Google's dominance and arrogance on the issue of protecting Internet consumer's privacy rights.

And do you think every other Email service out there is protecting your privacy. LOL Get real this guy is probably hired by Microsoft or some other 3rd party who has an agenda with Google. Out of all the corporate giants out there Google is one of the more respectable. They don't force signature ads on every email you send, they don't have annoying flashy popups or ads on their site. You are an idiot if you think your emails are more secure with another company.

Your response shows what little you know about Consumer Watchdog. They are offering to help Google make their services more secure. They not trashing the company. Google is deliberately avoiding meeting with them, which says to me - as a Google user - that Google does not care about my security. By the way, the SSL option is placed at the clear bottom of all the options in the Google settings - another sign that Google does not want you to use it.

LMAO, so since the ssl option isn't cleary in front of you on every page that makes them not concerned with your privacy. LOL Your response shows how little you know about the internet and how much more resources that SSL uses. You want secure email the whole system needs to be changed. Even with ssl it doesn't make the actual server to server communication secure. This is still such a bunch of crap. Google rocks, I'm just sorry to see idiots blowing crap like this way out of perspective
