Google Works To Provide More Privacy Regarding Search Information

March 15, 2007 – 2:07 pm

Never fear, Google is up to “doing no evil” and protecting the privacy of searchers and their search queries.

Today Google announced that they were adopting new privacy measures that would protect users by providing anonymity about the vast amounts of information they collect from searchers around the world.

By doing this, they retain the information about users and agencies like the government, another company or a third party will have more difficulties in obtaining it from Google.

Privacy advocates are pumped by the news.

“This is an extremely positive development,” said Ari Schwartz, deputy director of the Center for Democracy and Technology. “It’s the type of thing we have been advocating for a number of years.”

This move could help to increase trust in the very lucrative search engine business.
