[Air-l] Google's privacy

[J. J.]

SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- Google Inc.'s privacy practices are the 
worst among the Internet's top destinations, according to a watchdog group 
seeking to intensify the recent focus on how the online search leader 
handles personal information about its users.

In a report released Saturday, London-based Privacy International assigned 
Google its lowest possible grade. The category is reserved for companies 
with "comprehensive consumer surveillance and entrenched hostility to 
privacy."

None of the 22 other surveyed companies -- a group that included Yahoo Inc., 
Microsoft Corp. and AOL -- sunk to that level, according to Privacy 
International.
