Re: Oh for Pity's Sake
I can't see how on earth Google getting round that could ever be considered legal. Anonymised, my arse.
It's a 2-part process. 1) Google will toss money at lobbying the government to allow such a law.
2) To prove the populace don't care, google will toss some privacy-stealing apps or OS or something their way, and show the government just how much the populace give away willingly.
2b) The populace, who rightly should care and be up in arms about this, will vehemently sit on their arses and ignore it because to much effort/new shiny.
