Do You Expect Google to Ignore Internet Privacy in Future?

How do you feel when the Chairman of the top internet company getting billions of user hits from across the world everyday talks about future and discusses his vision of telepresence, 1 Gbps internet, world peace, communication and skips internet privacy issue while addressing trade show attended by top industry professionals and leaders?

Oops!

Does a thing like this happen intentionally or did he miss out on the topic completely without knowing that his place of address had serious concerns about Google's privacy and data collection methods?

While Google's policies were directly criticized by some of the leading speakers taking part in the trade show at Hanover, Germany, Shmidt, the Chairman of Google simply ignored others' concerns over Google products and explained his vision of future technology without taking a defensive position on Google's privacy issues being raised in EU or Germany specifically.

So my question is that do you expect Google to ignore internet privacy in the future to come? I am afraid that trends and the speed of the competition might drag the company that way. But let's hope not.

  1. Yes I do think Google will ignore online privacy concerns in the future. Their future profits are tied to the destruction of privacy and anonymity online. Plus, the government has an interest along those same lines, and even though right now the U.S. government says it is committed to protecting online privacy, in fact it is working steadily in the opposite direction.
