Google Updates Privacy Policy - Congress Has Questions

Google responds to Congress about its updated privacy policy | Android Central.

Streamlining Google information, and making it flow throughout most Google apps, can have an interesting effect. Congress asked questions, and Google has responded with a long letter and the pundits are reviewing the answers. The gist of the exchange is that Google is still collecting the same information, the consumer has agreed, in advance, that Google may collect the information, and Google is merely making the information accessible by all Google apps that need it. I have said before that Google will not knowingly collect and use information for evil purposes. The reputation, and survival, of the company is at stake. If you don't believe that there are many Google engineers and employees who miss sleep at night worrying about misuse of the collected data, you are living on another planet. So, control what you can control, and be careful about the information you put out there. Stop tweeting, Google plusing, and Facebooking about your drunken parties or posting photos that will prove embarrasing later. Control your own behavior, and you will have the best privacy tool out there.
