Google Reader Begins Sharing Private Data
Found on Slashdot on Monday, 24 December 2007
One week ago Google Reader's team decided to begin showing your private data to all your GMail contacts. No need to opt-in, no way to opt-out. Complaints haven't been answered. Some users share their problems, including one family who says they won't be able to enjoy this Christmas because of this 'feature.' Will Google start doing this with all their products? You can check a summary of complaints in my journal here or browse the whole thread in Google Groups.
Well, Google is Google. I really don't understand all that hype about them and why everybody desperately needs to use their latest products. Even companies move their email to Google, something I consider idiotic, knowing how Google deals with privacy.
