(2nd Part) Googlers also do not see privacy the same way normal people do. Most Googlers are engineers, and they look at privacy and security as the same thing. So when you post something publicly, they consider that to be public information. To them, collating various bits of public information about you is okay, even though many people have publicly posted information that is semi-private in different circles or communities around the web.<p>Google doesn&#x27;t recognize that it may be okay for me to have an unflattering picture of me on a beach on a social networking profile, but say... wouldn&#x27;t want it presented on the screen of the phone of a business contact I&#x27;m calling for a professional company. Because both my phone number and profile photo are public, they don&#x27;t see the distinction. Google doesn&#x27;t get context.<p>Furthermore, Googlers don&#x27;t have any recognition that Google storing data could be a privacy concern. They have utmost faith in the security of Google servers, processes, and procedures, and think that storing data on their servers with access of &quot;only me&quot; is perfectly safe. Which is why Google heavily promotes people to upload ALL of their photos automatically, even if they might be racy or otherwise sensitive.<p>So it&#x27;s not shockingly surprising to me for Googlers to fail to recognize privacy concerns as such, or for them to feel like any measure needed to defend Google is acceptable. They have utmost faith in Google&#x27;s products and services, and anything that doesn&#x27;t get that, be it law or person, just &#x27;doesn&#x27;t understand&#x27; or &#x27;isn&#x27;t keeping up with the times&#x27;.
