An article by Connecticut State's Attorney General George Jepsen's office posted on the shoreline plus website.
This article discusses challenges to Google's new privacy policy.
The article states, "Under the new privacy policy, Google gives itself the freedom to combine users’ personal information from services such as YouTube with Gmail and all other Google products.
“This not only raises personal privacy issues, but it makes the collected personal information an attractive target for hackers and identity thieves,” Attorney General Jepsen said. “Google has not given users a real choice to participate and the policy makes it practically impossible to opt out, short of exiting all Google services,” Jepsen said.
In a letter to Larry Page, Google’s chief executive officer, the attorneys general outlined their issues and requested a meeting with the company as soon as possible to “work toward a solution that will best protect the privacy needs of those who use Google’s products.”
Attorney General Jepsen, who has been in contact with Google about potential issues with the changes to its privacy policy, joined the request for a meeting to foster a national discussion."
