Can't get enough of Google!

Two nights ago, Google Chief Executive Officer Eric. E. Schmidt appeared on the Colbert Report on Comedy Central. A few weeks ago, he made a controversial comments regarding information put up by young people on Facebook. He basically encouraged them to delete all their information and change their names. What the media didn't realize is that this was a joke and was taken out of context.

The Consumer Watchdog organization created a group called Inside Google. This group is promoting awareness to people about how Google intrudes in our privacy, and also encourages individuals to create and participate in "Do Not Track Me Lists." They recently played a video in Times Square regarding this situation, starring CEO Eric E. Schmidt.

Was this fair of Consumer Watchdog? I think they have an interesting idea but the CEO is not the one to blame. When discussing the internet, we can't blame companies like Google for exposing information when we are the ones dumping the information in the system.
