    Seems emotion runnung hot. Google's getting more and more critics from data protection.
    OTHER SEARCH ENGINES CALL FOR A GOOGLE FREE DAY.

    What do you think?

    Google was ranked one of the worst major company in the world with their privacy policies - I suppose this was the case in this story.

    I guess the others didn't even read the results paper. As an ever day user of Google's services, I can confirm that I am *still* unsure what exactly happens with my data. Google definitely stores a LOT of tracking data about users for the sake of "improving their services", but it would be much more privacy friendly if it allowed to permanently expunge specific log data...

    Luckily there are billions of other websites like ours, which means G don't probably waste time checking on ours (individually - but most likely grouping something).

    Meh... Just a bunch of whiny spammers that are mad cause they're having trouble gaming the system, imo.

    If not? Who cares... G is a free service. Can't complain about 'free'.

    Google will eventually be as hated as Microsoft the they are taking all the right steps for people to be worried about their practices. I certainly don't like them as much as a year or 2 ago. Its all about the money now..
