Odd Privacy Comments From Google's Fleischer
So, what else is new? He speaks with forked tongue, just like the guys in the White House.
makes sense: no Google servers, as opposed to services
The statement makes sense, when you consider Google operates its services / websites for China and under chinese rules, but doesn't place it's servers for Gmail and other user services in China. That way the government can't force them to turn over user data, like they did with other companies (Yahoo).
Given Sweden's proposed law, it sounds like Google would probably follow a similar policy: operate its websites and services for Sweden, but from servers located outside the country. As a user, this means I don't have to worry about the Swedish government having unlimited access to all of my Google documents and history, unless I'm sending them to or from someone in Sweden. For sweden, it means that as Google spends millions (billions?) on its computer datacenters, they won't see any of that investment money.
Huh?
I'm inclined to think China takes a peek at traffic going through its Great Firewall. I'd be astonished to learn otherwise.
I just don't get Google slamming Sweden for proposing to do what China and Saudi Arabia very likely do actively, and AT&T has been accused of doing here, while not commenting on China or the US situations.
