Re: Judge Orders Google to Turn Over YouTube Viewer Records

Here's the real question: What is Google doing with all of this personal data in the first place? And why do they need it? The release of this data today is being done in a very controlled, Chinese Wall, fashion.

What happens tomorrow when some massive Google data breach, a disgruntled employee perhaps, splashes this data all over the web, or uses it for identity theft.

I trust a court order to release this data in a tightly controlled way under strict contempt of court penalties, far more than I trust some data doo-dah at Mountain View. I'm just sayin...

So... We're worried about Viacom having access to the cleaned-up, neutered YouTube data?

What about Google collecting all this highly-identifiable user data in the first place? That's far scarier to me.

eee eff... Where does Donovan say anything about streaming sucking up more bandwidth than p2p. I'm not saying he didn't say it, or that it's not true (I don't know), but it's not in your quote or paraphrase above.
