way to take that quote completely out of context

[QUOTE=DogGunn;23979538]You can't be anonymous in any other medium, so why the Internet?[/QUOTE]
lol don't be silly
you should do other things instead of pulling facts out of your ass
[QUOTE=DogGunn;23979669]That's the point. Eric Schmidt was making.
You wouldn't do it in person, so why should you be allowed to do it on the internet anonymously.[/QUOTE]
People already do it in real life between friends.
Anonymous online: The boss doesn't get hurt, neither does the worker
Not anonymous online: The boss get's his feelings hurt(?), the employee is in trouble. Not only does the boss know it's him, but other people would also know who the boss would be.

He's not paranoid, he's sensible
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;23994144]He's not paranoid, he's sensible[/QUOTE]
right, because when the ceo of google said he dislikes anonymity, he actually meant that he's going to start going through your email.
Okay, Google is going from being awesome to being utter shit. Anonymity is an essential part of the Internet.
[QUOTE=DoctorSalt;23978566]This. Even behind a thin veil of anonymity, people can do unbelievable asshole things, i.e cyberbullying, things /b/ does, stalking and other things.[/QUOTE]
Most of that can just be ignored if someone is doing it to you.
Who wants to send the CEO of Google an anonymous letter?
The mail system is still neutral.

He is saying that privacy isn't going to be broken. Anonymity is, basically if you're being a asshole and try to do something against the law you're not going to be covered. Basically you can't be this masked crusader and act like a fag on the internet, you can't do it in the real world and you can't do it in the internet world.

Illegal where? We have freedom of speech in the United States and in Europe, but in countries without freedom of speech, this will allow the government to censor the internet as much as they want.
Think of google as a library, Most people don't just walk into a library with a mask on, nor can they be allowed to take a book without giving their name and some information. I think we get quite enough FREE information about everything, I wouldn't mind if they knew a little about me in order to have access to mountains of resources

Google doesn't offer anything that is worth giving my real info for.
Again, what stops me from using fake info?
Looks like i will be going back to yahoo for my search engine and bing for my images. Yes im serious i will use bing for searching up images.
What a scumbag, Google has turned into exactly what they used to paint themselves as being against.

Nothing, so why is this a big deal?
Excuse me, I have a robot army to develop. Be back in a decade or so.
you're breaking my balls google, you're breaking my balls.
Just get back to being a search engine and fuck off with all this evil totalitarian shit, aight?

Sir, I do not TROLL people, not intentionally anyway. I merely support the rights of privacy and internet freedom, and they are rights I would fight tooth, nail and brain to protect, even though our teeth and nails are ineffective as weapons compared to our brains and the weapons we can make with them.

Ditto.
They were the cool hipster thing a few years ago, but they are just turning into another Microsoft or Apple...

Got to give them a fair bit of information to use a Droid phone, since its all backed up on Google's servers...I'd imagine that can include your name, number, locations you frequent, etc...

Thanks for spoiling the birthday surprise. :saddowns:
Remember that time Google was the only big company that stuck up for the little guy?
This is my theory:
There are certain people and organizations(hereafter called The Powers That Be- PTB) running things.
A company like Google comes along, and does well. People like them and use their services.
When they get TOO successful, the PTB step in. It happens in secret of course. They 'talk' to Google's leaders and explain the situation. The situation? Google starts to introduce new ideas, such as requiring real names. You'll notice these new ideas benefit Google in no way, they do benefit the PTB though. This way everyone blames Google, thinking some corporation is to blame. All the time Google is only doing what it's commanded to do and taking the fall for people who want to remain in the shadows.
Think this crazy talk? You don't remember when the NSA wanted to intercept everyone's communications and the phone companies simply stepped aside and let them? Same thing is happening, except now it's going to be with the internet.
[QUOTE=Xen Tricks;23978537]I wonder what he means by privacy, then[/QUOTE]

Hey guys,
nothing is going to happen.
Now shut up and stop worrying.
Does this mean another change to google? I already HATE the new google images layout. It's rather annoying.
