Google's Privacy Issues

"We are increasingly concerned that, too often, the privacy rights of the world's citizens are being forgotten as Google rolls out new technological applications," the officials say in the letter

The officials requested a response, "indicating how Google will ensure that privacy and data-protection requirements are met before the launch of future products."

Looks like Google has crossed the line once again.


When you get bigger, you tend to get more complacent and before you know it, you had already crossed the line set for you.


As a matter of fact, we have a proclivity to assume that we can get away with anything so long as we are respected as a superpower house.


In the corporate world, when you hold high statuses, you naturally can get away with things easily by having many scapegoats beside you. They will easily take up all the blames and absorb all the punishment as well.


But this time round, things are getting complicated.


Google has stepped into a controversial zone, that is the zone of privacy.


In case you guys are not aware of it, Google prospers on the fact that they have an abundance amount of information about the world, the people. They are able to organize all these information and group them accordingly such that it is very accessible to the world. That is why they are touted as the best search engine in the entire world.

.

Nonetheless, this might be the fatal blow for Google as well.


With greater power comes greater responsibility. Information is power so to speak and naturally privacy control is their responsibility.


They must not give out information randomly without the imprimatur of the owner. If not, they might have to pay the hefty price.


Right now, the world is actually scrutinizing Google's every operations. Why is that so?


Well, when you are famous, you naturally get all the attention. The same goes for Apple.


Nonetheless, I believe that Google will continue to climb up the corporate ladder because at this point in time, it takes more than a privacy breach to bring the entire Google down!


Of course, they have to be careful when it comes to privacy rights as well or they will be stuck in a very sticky situation.
