To me, keeping record of IP addresses for a certain period of time is analogous to how physical stores monitor company/buyer activity through security cameras. If that's not a violation of privacy, I don't think a temporary filing of IP addresses is a violation either. Unlike Ask.com and Microsoft, Google not only serves as a search engine, but also provides online mapping, e-mail, and video-share. Basically, Google does what it wants, and does it well. If someone's irked about its lack of anonymity, use Ask.com or Microsoft.HAYNEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09735441283013675926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736917697971066915.post-54159258547517254592008-09-18T08:37:00.000-07:002008-09-18T08:37:00.000-07:00I'm not entirely encouraged by google's track reco...I'm not entirely encouraged by google's track record with china.
