Does the following news surprise anyone? A recent case study discovered that Google ranked the "worst" when it comes to personal privacy. As if news of this finding was going to be surprising for all those anti-Google users out there.

Google has the worst privacy policy of popular net firms, says a report.
Rights group Privacy International rated the search giant as “hostile” to privacy in a report ranking web firms by how they handle personal data.

The group said Google was leading a “race to the bottom” among net firms many of whom had policies that did little to substantially protect users.

In response Google said the report was mistaken and that it worked hard to keep user data confidential.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go check my schedule with Google Calendar, email with Gmail, and latest news with Google Reader.
