    It does point out all the valid concerns regarding Google's collection of every bit of data they can but come on! Claims that Google may have a copy of my genetic profile?? I have serious concerns about my online privacy but that video was very sensationalist. There is a huge potential for Google to abuse its position alright though, I guess its good that someone is keeping an eye on them, even if it is a bit over the top.

    The only thing I want to know is, which the video doesn't answer so I'm assuming no, will Google freely distribute all the information it collects about us?
    If not then I don't care.

    I'm afraid if you use the internet you can't care or worry about privacy as there really isn't any...

    Sounds like a load of bollocks tbh, I don't see anything backing up any of the wild claims.

    You would say that, you're one of them.
    GOOGLE HAVE FOUND US, SHUT DOWN BEFORE THEY CAN TRACK YOU AND do nothing to infringe upon your cicil liberties whatsoever. Google are not watching you. And if they were, it would be too late for you to mount any kind of resistance so we should all just forget this paranoid nonsense.
    Sincerely, insignificant poster, who is definitely still alive.

    great sig :)

    Im hardly worried. Even with their search power they still have countless billions of terabytes of data to sort through. Even with tomorrow's quantum computers that will still take them a while to sort through.

    Not to mention the vid was pure propoganda: where are the sources?? Smells like Loose Change to me.
