If you liked J. Edgar Hoover, Hitler, Stalin,
and the school that used lap top cameras to snap
thousands of pictures of schoolchildren,
you’ll love Google.
As can be seen, Google not only takes pictures over your fences,
they log all of the WiFi networks, and Mac addresses
as they drive down the street.

"Google Street View logs WiFi networks, Mac addresses
Why are you doing this?, ask Germans
Google’s roving Street View spycam may blur your face,
but it’s got your number.
The Street View service is under fire in Germany
for scanning private WLAN networks,
and recording users’ unique Mac (Media Access Control) addresses,
as the car trundles along.
Germany’s Federal Commissioner for Data Protection Peter Schaar s
ays he’s "horrified" by the discovery.
"I am appalled. I call upon Google to delete previously unlawfully
collected personal data on the wireless network immediately.."
"Google CEO Eric Schmidt recently said internet users shouldn’t worry about
privacy unless they have something to hide."
If Google and the Google management "have nothing to hide",
I will be looking forward to receiving information
on where I can download their email, web surfing habits,
personal contacts, letters, spreadsheets,
pictures of their homes and families, etc.
It does not take a system engineer to comprehend
that Google is the greatest threat to free speech, privacy,
and eventually freedom, as they gather and save
information that can and IS used to
brainwash folks, steal company and government information,
and manipulate the leaders of nations.
