Google finally posts privacy link on homepage
Yesterday, Google finally posted a privacy link on its homepage, replacing the word “Google” in the footer with “Privacy.” A step in the right direction, but the link is in the smallest text, below larger links for “Advertising Programs,” “Business Solutions,” and “About Google.” See below:
Hmm. I wonder if the timing of Google’s change-of-heart had anything to do with this week’s court order that Google produce records of millions of YouTube user’s viewing habits.
Archiving Independence Day
The National Archives and Records Administration maintains a great site called Charters of Freedom that maintains high-quality scans of key documents such as the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. It also includes the Declaration of Independence.
By the way, the picture in the sidebar is the National Archives building being built way-back when.
Happy Independence Day!
ADDENDUM: Wired has posted a short, interesting piece on the early mistreatment of the document, and more recent efforts to preserve it.
