For
the folks who love to reveal their personal details on the net
(now why do they use that term?), you'll be pleased to know that
governments will soon mandate your hobby. And watch out if you fib,
because they'll be able to collate the data.

Here
is an url to an article about a 2,000-question survey starting up in
the UK.

Google
Inc.'s privacy practices are the worst among the Internet's top
destinations, according to a watchdog group seeking to intensify the
recent focus on how the online search leader handles personal
information about its users. In a report released Saturday, June 9,
2007, London-based Privacy International assigned Google its lowest
possible grade. The category is reserved for companies with
"comprehensive consumer surveillance and entrenched hostility to
privacy."
