Hi Shamil:

The one issue that is being over looked in the article is the extensiveness of lack of privacy.

It took many years before authorities were not just allowed to walk into any person's house without due cause or reason. Also, just by the complexity, separation of information and the difficulty at assembling it, even with public information, everyone was afforded a certain level of privacy. Because of vast distances and limited communication outside an tight community, people could also be guaranteed anonymity. People of various countries have fought long and hard to be able to have a community face and a private face but...

...technology has made that (almost) impossible.

I think that Bernard Herman is deliberately being ignorant so as to make his position of "no rights to privacy", as any legal challenge to Google's current model, would adversely affect the company's profits.    

Jim
