Google Books' settlement with authors has prompted privacy concerns. It seems the more we know about how cavalier our digital media companies are with our privacy, the more scared we get.
The digital rights group, Electronic Frontier Foundation, says it believes the recent settlement leaves out basic protections, allowing Google (and, by extension, government agencies) to track what we read, how much time we spend, even what we write on margins. Google, of course, says it's ridiculous, and that it doesn't even have a policy yet.
See ya in court, although, for now, the foundation is asking that we users email Google to voice our concerns.
