Google pushes the UN on internet privacy

Hello all,

In preparation for our discussion on Internet privacy I looked through articles on this important topic and came up with a mountain of sources. An interesting one was a story about Google urging the UN to push for tighter and more standardized Internet privacy rules around the globe. Today, data in being transferred around the globe and there are few standards regarding the protection of that often proprietary data. Google has taken up the issue and urges the UN to set standards on data security and privacy. An interesting development, but will it lead any where? Did you know that "every time you use a credit card, your details are passed through six different countries." Scary. Take a look. http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2007/sep/14/news.google
