Google Now Is Watching You. I've been getting friendly with the newest features of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus phone, including a feature called Google Now.

Google Now Is Watching You

On the new start slider, when bringing the phone to life, you can slide to the right to go to the phone itself. If you go to the left, you can activate the camera immediately. If you go to the top, you get Google Now, probably the niftiest or the creepiest feature ever developed. It takes what you've been doing on the desktop and makes assumptions, which are then passed to the phone. It's all part of your Google account, if you have one, but you can always sign out.

It figured out where I live right away, based on various trips I may have planned on Google Maps. It always displays the weather, but that's easy. I'm told that if I have an appointment scheduled in my Google calendar, Google Now will calculate the distance and, if I'm cutting it close on time, pop up to warn me that I should leave.

FAQ – Government requests directed to Google and YouTube

Governments make content removal requests to remove information from Google products, such as blog posts or YouTube videos. The data includes court orders sent to us to remove content, regardless of whether the court order is directed at Google. For purposes of this Report, we also count government requests that we review particular content to determine if it should be removed for violating a product's community guidelines or content policies. Is this data comprehensive? There are limits to what this data can tell us.

Do your statistics cover all categories of content removals? No. How many of these requests resulted in the removal of content? The "removal request" numbers represent the number of requests we have received per country; the percentage of requests in response to which we removed content; and the number of individual items of content requested to be removed. How is removal different from blocking services? Yes. Demandes de suppression de contenu protégé par des droits d'auteur – Google Transparency Report. Qu'est-ce qui est inclus ?

La protection de la vie privée sur Internet pose question à de nombreux utilisateurs.

[infographie] Qui vous surveille sur Internet?

Pour autant, Facebook et Google font peu de cas de cette notion, ce que résume parfaitement bien cette infographie. Voici une infographie instructive qui résume les problèmes que les géants du web rencontrent avec la protection de la vie privée.
