Google surveillance far surpasses the NSA, author says

Cut!

"For years, Google's computers have scanned the content of millions of Gmails -- Google's popular email service -- in order to figure out what ads the users might respond to. Many users don't realize they've given Google permission to eavesdrop in the agreement that opens their account."

Hi bob3160,

If that would not be so there would not be an open internet  ;)
Is Johnny 4745 afraid someone has listened in on his pillow talk?  ;D

Big Brother may not be listening, but he's watching: Why metadata snooping is legal

By Bob Sullivan, Columnist, NBC News

Cut!

Wiretaps and warrants

The Fourth Amendment stems from a simple idea: Law enforcement officials can observe your home from the street, but in most cases they can't barge in unless they prove to a judge they need to. In the digital world, the line between knocking on your door and barging in is much more complicated. And as the analogy breaks down, so too it seems has Fourth Amendment protection.

The Whole Article:

it is really user choice.  some of us choose not to use chrome, so pol's notice is pertinent to those who don't.

@mchain & @bob3160
I posted this because that viewer is being abused by malcreants, that is the news here, not why we need that viewer or not,
malcreants use something good and trusted for evil purposes, e.g. to communicate with their malbots!

Another threat a lot of the most popular Wordpress-plug-ins maybe insecure (20% are holed) and will lead to plenty of hacked websites, read this report:
