Google Faces More Privacy Woes After YouTube Ruling

July 4 (Bloomberg) — Google Inc., owner of the YouTube video-sharing Web site, may be exposed to heightened privacy complaints from Internet users after a U.S. judge ordered it to give Viacom Inc. a database about online viewers.
Google was ordered two days ago to turn over records of videos viewed on YouTube, the login name of viewers and their computer’s Internet address. Google already faces scrutiny over its storage of user data in the U.S. and Europe.
“The chickens have come home to roost for Google,” said Simon Davies, director of Privacy International in London. “If they were going to unnecessarily keep this information, there was always the chance someone was going to grab it.”

Viacom, owner of Comedy Central and MTV television networks, wants the information to find out if YouTube viewers watch copyrighted shows in an effort to bolster its $1 billion infringement lawsuit against Google. The ruling may lead some Web surfers to avoid using Google, which makes money based on traffic to and from its Web sites.
Google, owner of the most-used Internet search engine, has resisted attempts to get at its troves of user data. In 2006, the company fought a U.S. subpoena for months as it sought to assure users that their search records weren’t easily accessible. Google founder Sergey Brin said it’s the Mountain View, California-based company’s “obligation” to protect users’ privacy.

Haven’t caught on? This is how they rid the internet of true news. This is how they rid the internet of criminal gov’t officials and cops! It’s a step by step process.

How long do you think it will take for humanity to wake up .
We still call Murder rape war and tragedy entertainment .We turn on the box amerce ourselves in a badly written plot and feel a sense
of relief when it not us that suffering.
But when it is us.. will it be too late.
Booty shaking on you tube has millions of hits where as the truth about humanities failings clambers behind at not even tens of thousands.
The hundred monkey phenomena needs to happen soon . Do It for Peace do it for love .Its time we used our minds as the weapon against mind control .

Will history dictate that We the People, could have done something before it is too late, instead we felt helpless and failed to stop two wars, including the demise of many civil liberties and on and on.
The key is coming together as one.
People got to wake up quickly. Now is the hour.
Note to Google.
Dear Sir,
Please inform those who have demanded that our rights be trampled upon, that you will not break the law under any circumstance.
This is warrantless surveillance and it will not be tolerated.
Enough is enuf
My sincere thanks.

Sergey Brin (Google Founder) Is a communist Jew from Russia who’s family has only been in the United States since 1979. He is a subverter. There can be no doubt as to the reasons behind Google storing all our personal information.

The CIA founded Google. The CIA is an ex-NAZI outfit. The NAZI’s were a Jesuit Creation.
There you go once again – the Vatican is behind it.
See? This is going to happen time and time and time again, yet we still have dopey mockingbirds telling us “Jews” are the “subversive communists” behind all these fascist schemes. What a classic NAZI line. I guess if something works, you should keep at it, right? Wake up people and smell the brimstone of Antichrist – Revelation 17 & 18!!
IT’S THE JESUITS, STUPID!

@EXPEL THE JESUITS:
Who do you think created the Jesuits – certainly not the Catholics, all by themselves! Who do you think bankrolled the NAZI’s – folks like Emil Poole [a Jew] ( of Den Deutscher Bank ), Prescot Bush [with plenty of Jewish ties in the family] ( related to You-know-who ), the infamous Rockefellers [Jews], the Rothschilds [themselves Jews] ( “Red Shield” – symbol of the Jewish-Revolutionaries ), etc.
However, I would have to say, the so-called Jews seem to have the best protection from themselves and others as anything derogatory about them gets “washed” out of existance in most sectors of society – despite the FACT that so many of them ( about 2% of the world’s population ) are the ones in control of MOST of the world’s wealth and resources. Seems only fair that they would “indirectly” control services like Google, Facebook, and many others too!
Do your research, and not from the worthless MSM, either!
Google is just plain bad news to freedom-lovers anywhere! ( This includes, now, Youtube! )
