Last but not least: Google's ultimate solution to the privacy problem
Google is often criticized - user privacy is not guaranteed, it is said. But anyone who thinks that the company's CEO, Eric Schmidt, is not aware of this problem is completely wrong.
According to Tagesanzeiger.ch, he told the Wall Street Journal that society does not understand "what happens when everything is available, recognizable and can be recorded by anyone at any time". Society "really needs to think about these things". But no, these are not just empty words. Mr. Schmidt also presents THE solution: young users of social networks and other online services must be given the opportunity to establish a new identity from a certain age. He wants young people to be able to change their name when they reach the age of majority. This would prevent youthful sins published on the Internet, such as drunken parties or topless photos, from having a negative impact on later professional life. If that's not a solid approach. How serious the gentleman is about this proposal is left open at this point. In light of the fact that, according to media reports, Google is working on ensuring that photos, status updates and other content from Facebook users can be found immediately via the search engine, Schmidt's words seem a little absurd.
