Google continuing to store users data

Although he was alarmed by AOL’s haphazard release of its subscribers’ online search requests, Google Inc. CEO Eric Schmidt said Wednesday the privacy concerns raised by that breach won’t change his company’s practice of storing the inquiries made by its users.

I don’t agree with such practices, and we can hope that Google never chooses or be forced to release such information. The moral of the story is that if you want to have more privacy online, you should look into proxies and the like. Hiding your identity from the start is the best protection.
