Privacy issues continue to dog Google's
Gmail 04/15/2004 02:15 PM
Since announcing Gmail two weeks ago, Google Inc. has been forced to defend the planned Web-based e-mail service against accusations that it may violate users' privacy. In the face of the attacks, especially vociferous in Europe, which has strict privacy regulations, Google has begun to express willingness to be flexible about how it offers the service.

Power of Privacy Concerns

Power of Privacy Concerns 05/15/2004 09:38 PM

I used to think that privacy concerns in America was strong enough to thwart ideas like single-signin and Gmail from being realized.  My study of the social networking phenomenon have gradually changed my opinion to a point where I now think the power of privacy concerns can be dispelled with the right strategy.  Obviously, this can't be done by just anyone and serious commitments must be made in terms of time and resources, but I now believe it can be done.

I have come to realize that concerns are temporal in nature and requires constant reinforcements to maintain them.  A primary source of that reinforcement is social pressures.  If people around you are concerned, you become concerned.  If they seem unconcerned, level of your concern diminishes.  People who do not conform to the group's level of concerns are pushed to the fringe and eventually casted out, either by the group or by their own choice.

In response, AOL has provided some answers to extinguish the fire by dismissing the "mistaken rumors" as being false.

Are There Privacy Concerns In The Home
Of The Future? 05/13/2004 12:29 PM
South Korea is known for its widespread adoption of broadband and wireless technologies. Many tech companies in the US like to use South Korea as a testbed, since they believe the US is likely to follow a similar path to South Korea rather than some place like Japan. Now, Michael Kanellos is taking a look at the South Korean effort to make the "connected home of the future" available today. It includes plenty of connected appliances, screens everywhere, RFID chips that monitor things and even a well connected car. The bathroom contains a connected health monitor (want to send your latest data to the doctor?) and flat screens so you can read the latest news. Kanellos is worried about the privacy implications of all of this - but doesn't seem to indicate what they are. Folks in South Korea don't seem all that worried - they just want the technology to be available sooner (and for less money). In fact, it's not entirely clear from the article what the privacy implications really are. There's some vague talk about RFID (which seems to have become universally associated with "privacy risk" for no clear reason) and some worries about hackers accessing your grocery bill. Of course, for those who already shop online there are the same risks. Really, all this is doing is putting more data online - which is always a risk - but it's a choice that people can make in exchange for the benefits of the features in such a system. If anything, hopefully trends like this will spur better security and data protection techniques. However, immediately tossing out the house of the future as a privacy risk, without explaining where the real risk is, doesn't make much sense.

Google's Privacy Problems

Google's Privacy Problems 02/14/2003 02:10 PM
Google Watch: Google as Big Brother, a list of his top ten Google Privacy Problems. My thoughts: The cookie is a serious issue. Google assigns everyone who visits a cookie that uniquely identifies them to Google for all time. There's very few legitimate reasons to do this, and they certainly don't outweigh the harm done. (Google could easily assign a cookie that only contained your preferences and not a personal identifier.) Logging is also an issue. Actions by the current US government make it clear they don't care about privacy, and it's very likely that they've convinced Google to hand over full logs of who is searching for what. I think the bit about hiring spooks is silly, just working at the NSA doesn't ruin you forever. The toolbar asks in bright bold red letters if you really want Google to phone home about every site you visit. Obviously you should answer no if you like your privacy. Google could probably improve things by letting you press a button to look up the PageRank for a page, rather than always doing it automatically. I like the cache copy. Putting stuff on the Internet makes it public; get used to it. I think most people agree the sites penalized by Google deserve it. If you think your site was penalized unfairly, let me know, and I'll spread the word. On the other hand, I think Google should publish their block list and algorithms. Conclusion: Google needs to stop sending the cookie and promise to only store aggregate data, with no connection between users and search terms. This issue was publically raised almost a year ago; that Google still hasn't dealt with it is inexcusable....

Google's Privacy Policy

Google's Privacy Policy 08/05/2002 10:45 PM
Tara points out that Public Information Resource, as part of their Google Watch project has put up a page about Google's Privacy Policies. They point out that Google's persistent cookie (it expires in 2038) can be used to track Google users. I've refused Google's cookies for a long time for this reason. It's annoying because Google forgets my language and SafeSearch preferences, but since I search Google for so many things I'm especially concerned about my privacy. I wish Google would switch to a cookie that only stored specific preferences, rather than identifying information. I hope Google will respond with the reasons for their current cookie system. [Finally, a note on the weblog format. I feel safe in publishing negative comments like this because I know that most if not all readers check the site periodically, so there's little chance of someone getting incorrect and not seeing the correction.] Interestingly, they point out that Matt Cutts, a Google employee, spent a year at the NSA. Food for conspiracy theorists....

EFF guide to Gmail privacy

EFF guide to Gmail privacy 04/15/2004 05:02 PM
Donna sez: "EFF provides a quick and dirty technical work-around for protecting your privacy if you want to use Google's beta Gmail service - only a temporary fix, and there's the rub: Google needs to step up and provide a solution that protects its customers' privacy (and the same goes for other businesses than can link email to search data!)."

For current and prospective Gmail users, we suggest that you start by deleting your existing Google cookies before you use Gmail (and before you enter your real name or existing email address in any Google form). This will help prevent your pre-existing search history from becoming associated with your identity in the future. (Note that it will also cause you to lose any Google preferences you have entered, such as language or adult content preferences.)
