for all you people defending google about its policy, heres what happens. Ok, google isnt bad... comcast is, itll only lead to more. Besides its not like the US doesnt watch everybodies connection in addition to your isp which trades info with law enforcement, and your system admin/ppl on your network, and every website you visist, and microsoft, and your browser, and things you download. Is it really new news? About the us monitoring internet. face it, America OWNS the internet. If you want a .com/org or top level domain you HAVE to register with the US or else you end up with a .jp adress or something. And even with .jp you must register through ths us most of the time. Gicing the gov complete access to your information. "But i encrypt my data" you know some day that encryption will be broken just like every encryption knows to man, 64 bit, the ceasar shift etc. Your proxy wont do **** for you, its a basic fact, your information is free and anybody can access it, and this google controversey is just another head of the multi headed monster.
