I'm curious how:<br>
<br>
"Which leads nicely into the topic of whether or not an AI Google
should have rights. I would consider having to comprehend decades
of viz2020 archive posts to be a cruel and unusual punishment for
a sentient machine."<br>
<br>
...translates to "applauding Google's technical advances and their
(Google's) ability to learn more about a person than that person
knows about him/herself".<br>
<br>
Especially after I responded to Saundra describing the precautions
I take against the casual leaking of information. I obviously
don't agree that Google should know more about me than I know
about myself when I block javascript from google-analytics.com and
googleadservices.com. Not to mention peeling off a private window
when i log into Google+, gmail, or Youtube (or Facebook) in order
contain their cookies from infecting the rest of my browsing.
And, yes, I'm sure the interwebs know a lot about me. I have been
online in some form or another since probably the early 90's, if
not the late 80's. I haven't always cared about my online
footprint. Not that I'm Jackal or anything, I just take some
simple precautions when I think about it.<br>
<br>
I do applaud Google's technical advances, though. They have some
really sharp customers working for them.<br>

<div style="">I personally feel
that Snowden, one of Moscow's (the one in Russia) newest
immigrants, should be charged, tried, and sentenced to a
long, long time in prison for giving away classified defense
information. I know that is exactly where I would end up if
I, while in the Army, did as Snowden did.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Wow! It seems like privacy is a double
edged sword, isn't it? You and Tom recently expressed
your vehement outrage about how wrong and unethical it
was for the NSA to be scanning metadata and for
companies of so-called 'free' services (email accounts,
search engines, etc.) to be recording your activity and
scanning those records for information. And now
unsurprisingly you've flipped-flopped in favor of
surreptitious video taping. <b>Just for the sake of
consistency, please confirm that you yourself have
absolutely no issue with being video taped against
your knowledge on your own property and in your own
home in order to ensure the you are not inflicting
cruelty on <insert any living thing>.</b><br>
<br>
For the record, I find animal cruelty to be
reprehensible and I'm in favor of investigative efforts
by anyone that roots out wrongdoing.<br>
