On Google and Privacy

| | Comments (3)

As many of you were expecting, Google has taken another step toward gathering user information by integrating Google Accounts (or your GMail Login) with Orkut. And they are just putting all puzzle pieces together.

Now Google has most of the things it should know about you. Your email account (Gmail), your Online Buddies (Gtalk), your chain of friends as well as your interests and how people think about you (Orkut), What do you search for (Google search engine), Which web sites you visit (Google watches your clicks on search results) and many other things you can't even believe. And I assure you this is not yet-another-conspiracy-theory.

I obviously have nothing to hide, but why google needs this information?

احتمالا" در مورد پروژه اشلون چيزهائي شنيده اي . به دليلي مدتي روش تحقيق كردم . سيا بانك اطلاعات مركزي فوق العاده غول پيكري داشت كه مكالمات تلفني و موبايل و فكس و تلفنهاي ماهواره اي و ...بيش از پنجاه كشور رو نگهداري ميكرد و پنج مشتري پروژه اشلون يعني خود امريكا و چهار كشور اروپائي درست مثل يك سرويس تجاري به موتور جستجوي اين بانك متصل ميشدند و "صوت" و "فكس" جستجو ميكردند . زبانهاي انگليسي و عربي رو مطمئنم حمايت ميكرد و گويا دو سه زبان ديگه هم وجود داشت - براي تشخيص صوت و متن - و اگر جلويش گرفته نميشد گويا ميخواستند ويدئو كنفرانسها و دوربينهاي پليس و ...رو هم به فازهاي بعدي توسعه پروژه اضافه كنند . ميتوني روي سايت رسمي سناي امريكا يه جزوه صد صفحه از گزارشي كه همون موقع توليد شده پيدا كني كه امضاي قاضي ارشد وزارت دادگستري و عدالت امريكا هم زيرشه و يه جاهائيش براي حفظ محرمانگي نامها و مشخصات تعمدا خط خطي شده . نميدونم به حرفي كه زده مربوطه يا نه . ولي بهر حال كمي جاي تامل داره . موفق باشي
