EFF: Google Books Privacy Policy "Needs to Do More"

By Clint Boulton, eWeek

One day after Google unveiled a privacy policy for Google Books at the behest of the Federal Trade Commission, the Electronic Frontier Foundation said Google's privacy policy was insufficient.

Google rebuffed the EFF's requests for a policy more than a month ago.

One imagines, then, the EFF would turn a critical eye toward the policy and it sure has; it is so dissatisfied it is filing a rejection to the settlement in time for the New York district court's Sept. 8 deadline to hear support and opposition before the court's Oct. 7 hearing.
