In this new policy, all information entered by users via Google will be indexed together. Also, there will be ads relating to the users current and previous searches. Only Google Books, Wallet, and Chrome will be excluded from the new policy.
This new privacy policy will allow Google to track all personal information on you. Eric Schmidt, Google's former CEO, said "If you have something that you don;t want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place." This comment rose a lot of issues. It caused some sites to post very personal things about Schmidt's life online, and reporters were able to get his social security number easily. This new policy would be like Google being all creepy behind you and peering over your shoulder, reading every personal conversation you have, seeing every site you visit, and showing it for everyone to see. It's creepy, and if you don't thinik so, I have some questions about how your brain functions. (Just kidding... partially...)

Honestly, I don't really have an opinion about all this. I'm not on either side. Google makes it sound like the new policy will be great for everyone, but most other sites have protested against it and made it into a horrible thing. I'm leaning towards saying it's a bad thing, but I don't want to say that's my opinion then learn something new and change my mind.
