Google's new privacy policy simplified, now consists of 7 words.

All your information are belong to us

Instead of deleting legalese to make it easier to understand, why don't they just make their privacy policy more, um ... private?

When you click on the privacy policy link, that is when Sauron's all-seeing eye knows where you are.

I'm not too concerned really. Besides, who reads these "terms of agreements" and "privacy policies" that are ridiculously long? Apple's for example is 56 pages long. NOTHING is ever truly private from what anybody tries to [legally] spell out to us...

 

[NotYetRated]

haha no matter what they spell out I will not believe them. Not only them but any company really...

 

[dEAne]

Yeah it should be that way.

Google has a privacy policy?

Deleting legalistic sections of their privacy policy is not to make things easier to understand, it's to allow them to invade your privacy even more effectively, without worrying about legal backlash. The Bush administration did this by instituting the Patriot Act, because they couldn't just delete parts of the Constitution. But Google can just delete sections of their policies because (on the surface) they are a private corporation. Most of us know better than to think that they have no affiliation with the intelligence communities of our government though. Contractors break every law in the book by proxy and are given immunity and billions of dollars for their services. That's the american way.

Want to use google? yes? then you have no privacy, simple enough?

 

[dragonfang18]

They are going to "simplify their policy"... To what... anything goes?

 

[tommysch]

Simplified policy on privacy: You have none!

 

[belardo]

Re-wording to normal english vs legalize is most helpful for most people.

Google has always kept everyone's data private. They post your data all over the internet and say it came from an anonymous user. Since the data does not have any information someone could use to identify you then it's still private.

some people think browser private mode is actually private LOL

maybe your porn search is hidden from wife, but FBI can track down you ip adress when your a pedophile, noob hacking, downloading torrents and such...

Okay cool, so I'm not the only one who thought of that eye based on the picture in the article? LOL

Let's just face it, Google and Privacy just doesn't mix.
