Just read that Google has cut the amount of time they collect personal data as identified data - this was in a move to improve their own privacy issues with concern for user data.
They cut personal data retention from 18 months to nine months. "We're significantly shortening our previous 18-month retention policy to address regulatory concerns and to take another step to improve privacy for our users," Google officials said in a blog post released Monday night. Interesting to say the least - - S |

I think they're probably trying to get the Privacy concern folks off of their back Scott. It's been a huge sticking point for some time now for those folks, especially back when they kept it for errm... ever.
Not a bad move on their part. I have to wonder if any of it was motivated by Chrome, even though from everything I've been able to tell so far it doesn't phone home on it's own. |

Unfortunately, you're probably too right! I know they have every byte of data that has ever crossed their servers... this is what they are, this is what they do, - they NEED that data. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/searchme.gif) |
