Google Inc.'s privacy practices are the worst among the Internet's top destinations, according to a watchdog group seeking to intensify the recent focus on how the online search leader handles personal information about its users. In a report released Saturday, London-based Privacy International assigned Google its lowest possible grade. The category is reserved for companies with "comprehensive consumer surveillance and entrenched hostility to privacy."

Liberal in the american sense is quite correct - even extremely so. It is an anti-capitalistic political organisation using privacy as a cover for it's crusade against the free market.
Take a look at their website - look at the graphics. Reminds me of (the now former) DKP/ML.

[OT] - what's wrong with that? I personally believe that capitalism is bad, because it brings out the worse behaviour in humans - our greed. I do not think that's it's right for 1% of the world population to have 99% of the world wealth. Under ANY circumstances. I don't care if they think they earnt it.
Google uses the information from our searches, and it uses that to make a dollar.

PI is a respected organization. It has a reasonably good skill set. It is rather liberal though.
