TONIGHT at 9 pm ET...
Each time you use a search engine, you disclose something about yourself. And it tends to be more than just passing interests; your searches reveal your wants, needs, desires, and fears. Over time, you may unwittingly divulge your age, sex, religion, ethnic group, profession, political views and medical concerns.
That information can be exploited by its owners (ED: i.e. Google) to create dossiers on you that would make former FBI director J. Edgar Hoover look like a piker.
Google is not the company it claims to be. Evolving from an information servant to master, the company's unprecedented centralization of information, tracking, and profiling, is destroying privacy while threatening our security and way of life.
You are not Google's customer -- you are its products -- lab rats to be monitored and tracked before having your personal information laundered to advertisers - and maybe even shared with the government.
You see, Google's goal is to change the world by influencing and controlling information access.
Scott Cleland's newly published book about GOOGLE -- "Search & Destroy, Why You Can't Trust Google, Inc." -- pulls back the curtain to show what's really going on with the Internet giant that is cozily in bed with Obama's White House.
Cleland is the world's leading Google critic and has been called to testify before Congress on three occasions regarding the Internet behemoth.
Tonight he'll join us to explain why Google cannot be trusted - and how the company with a "don't be evil" slogan threatens our privacy, security, and even our fundamental values and institutions.

Unless you use Ghostery!
Facebook too!
What is Ghostery?
That’s why when I come out with my new company\product, DisinformationU, Google’s information on you will be rendered worthless.
This product will randomly browse Google in your name to make it appear that you are a transgendered turnip farmer interested in becoming Buddhist Monk in Guatemala. Then it will upload crap about you all across the information so 99% of the information about you on the Web will be garbage.
Awwww, but it’s such fun doing that all on my own.
Excellent summary.
brilliant!
(...but i stopped using Google years ago,
when i saw they were playing politics with searches...
these people are progressives first, no matter what industry or job they are in.
they are as tenacious and dedicated as the Islamists...)
Twitter become popular overnight with all news outlets using it. Know I suspect the entire world wide web is just that and I am on the reeducation list
Don’t any of you guys use Firefox???
The point is, can they sell you anything you don’t want or need?
I use Firefox.
Do you use the “privacy” mode?
Guess the GOOG needs to work on its supposed news filter, right? er, left?
likely not since I don’t know what it is?
Which version you using....I’m on FF 4....and if you click on the Firefox tab, you’ll see “private browsing”....makes it so you have to re-login to places a lot....but I think it only makes where you’ve been ON your computer invisible...but, they could be found if an employer or gov’t really wanted to find them....I’m new at FF...
Private Browsing does not make you anonymous on the Internet. Your internet service provider, employer, or the sites themselves can still track the pages you visit.
Get AdBlock Plus and NoScript for FF.
What is needed is a better way for people to find news and information, and that doesn’t track people’s whereabouts or their information or what they’ve searched for. Perhaps a non-search-engine format would be better.
