Is there any privacy on the Internet?
I have always been very leery of what Google, Yahoo, etc. were going to do with the enormous amount of information that they collect on all of us. I have tried to give as little information as possible when I use the Web. For example, I will not use the Google Desktop search and I will not use the settings in the GoogleBar that let them track where I go. In spite of anything that we do, however, there is a very large amount of information about all of us out there on the Web. Between that and the credit rating agencies, there isn’t much privacy left. I applaud Google’s effort to resist the government’s attempt to get all their information but I am afraid nothing will stop the continuing erosion of privacy.
