‘Lest anything be taken out of context, here’s the full quote from Schmidt, uttered in an interview with CNBC:

“If you have something that you don’t want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place, but if you really need that kind of privacy, the reality is that search engines including Google do retain this information for some time, and it’s important, for example that we are all subject in the United States to the Patriot Act. It is possible that that information could be made available to the authorities.”

The Electronic Frontier Foundation was not pleased with those remarks, saying that “from protection against shallow embarrassments to the preservation of freedom and human rights,” privacy is about more than just hiding wrongdoing. Schmidt’s comments, the EFF says, make it seems as though Google doesn’t understand that concept.’

Most business and the University should get behind this. Thanks for sharing
