Why should they - in a country that is totally uncritical of data protection laws and the Googlian data kraken - which means a private, uncontrolled, profit-orientated business company being allowed to collect data and profiling data to a degree that in Europe no state authority and no intellligence service would be allowed to accumulate without a loud public outcry...?
Sorry, but if you talk about the census but do not attack Google, with the latter being a far greater threat, than you contradict yourself, SW. Or do you still believe that the Googlians just collect this flood of data for fun and feel like wanting to be philantropists, or because they just feel bored?
