Privacy group urges probe of Google cloud services- Internet -Infotech-The Economic Times
The Economic Times reports: "Cloud computing services provided by Google include Gmail, the Internet search giant's email program; Google Docs, its online word processing and spreadsheet service; Picasa, a software application for digital photos; and Google Calendar. EPIC, in the complaint filed on Tuesday, said that it wanted the FTC to determine whether Google has 'engaged in unfair and/or deceptive trade practices' regarding its cloud computing products. It urged the FTC to enjoin the company from offering such services 'until safeguards are verifiably established.'"

Comment: It's scary to think these web services we use every day have not had to pass stringent privacy reviews. Let's watch carefully to see how this complaint progresses.
