Google CEO Eric Schmidt's Twisted Views On Privacy - You shouldn't be doing anything privately?
In the past two years alone he has made the following statements in public:
"If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place."

People who don't like Google's Street View cars taking pictures of their homes and businesses "can just move."

"I actually think most people don't want Google to answer their questions. They want Google to tell them what they should be doing next."
"We know where you are. We know where you've been. We can more or less know what you're thinking about."
"What we're really doing is building an augmented version of humanity, building computers to help humans do the things they don't do well better."
"The Internet of things will augment your brain"
"Google policy is to get right up to the creepy line and not cross it,". Google implants, he added, probably crosses that line.
"Every young person one day will be entitled automatically to change his or her name on reaching adulthood in order to disown youthful hijinks stored on their friends' social media sites."
"It was a joke," Schmidt said of the statement. "It just wasn't a very good one...The serious goal is just rememeber when you post something, the computers remember forever."
"...the reality is that search engines, including Google, do retain this information for some time and it's important, for example, that we are all subject in the United States to the Patriot Act. It is possible that all that information could be made available to the authorities."
"If I look at enough of your messaging and your location, and use Artificial Intelligence, we can predict where you are going to go."
"In a world of asynchronous threats, it is too dangerous for there not to be some way to identify you".
