http://tinyurl.com/agf39bt You’ll never guess which country asks Google for information about users the most Last month Google updated its Transparency Report, which provides information to the public on government requests for Google users’ data. Most of these requests, Google says, are to aid in criminal investigations, though the company says it “can’t always be sure that a request necessarily relates to a criminal investigation.” 不一定都是為了罪犯調查才跟google申請喔～ Perusing the data on a slow Thanksgiving morning, I noticed that the leading country is not Brazil, which has been in an ongoing fight with Google over content relating to political campaigns. Nor is it one of the more repressive countries like Bahrain, which imprisons bloggers, or Iran, which filters the internet and wants to take its ball and go home, creating its own private internet. And it’s not Russia, which has expressed a desire to censor the internet and remove porn, drugs, pro-suicide, and extremist content. Rather, it’s the modern, free speech, Western democracies that mostly lead the charge. And the United States is first in line, accompanied by France, Germany, the UK, Italy, Spain, and Australia in the top ten: One caveat about the U.S. numbers: they do include requests for information from foreign governments routed through the U.S. government. But Google does not break out the numbers for those requests, so it’s difficult to determine how much of the total they constitute. As the numbers stand, the U.S. requests Google user data almost four times as much as the next country, India. And its requests are honored more than four times as often. Google says it is very careful about how and when it complies with requests: When we receive a request for user information, we review it carefully and only provide information within the scope and authority of the request. We may refuse to produce information or try to narrow the request in some cases … We take user privacy very seriously, and whenever we receive a request we mmake sure it meets both the letter and spirit of the law before complying. When possible and legal to do so, we notify affected users about requests for user data that may affect them. But given the fact that there is not a lot of transparency in the transparency report about what kind of criminal investigations are included in Google’s numbers, it’s enough to make one think twice about what kind of information you store in the cloud. 你以為只有1984中的老大哥才會監視著你嗎？ 呼應一下標題 美國排名第一名，你有猜到嗎？ ps.台灣第十二名～ -- 我曾誤闖一個我以為式的文人看板，咎於那夥混人竟不以為恥的將板子分類掛在歷史名下。 板裡頭盡是些掛著文人招牌的混混，義憤填膺的聲討共產黨的稱為仗義而行，但板上官官相 衛的行徑不啻他們極力聲討的共產黨。於是我開始能體會現實中的共產黨的難處了… 為圖板上名聲之利益就使難為法制社會，真實得面對利益、人情的試煉想必更是九死一生。 混混尚能開脫，無知能為之辯解。但文人式的混混令人做噁則毋庸置疑。DummyHistory 人性已為萬惡共黨解了套，悲觀如我思「人類在往後追求靈魂上的純淨也只是徒勞無功。」 --
