Yes, I happened to mention that aspect of their analysis in my reply to
Borek. However, it's more like in-house spying. You must use Google to be
spied on, which is merely equivalent to visiting a site and having your IP
addresses, among other stuff (e.g. routes, server type, time, etc.) recorded
for the Webmaster to view.
The major question is: should Google openly declare their intentions or set
up a page for privacy consent form? You know, for legal reasons?
I gave Matt some feedback on the following (formerely hidden) page today:
http://akismet.com/privacy/
(I guess it might be crawled prematurely because of me...)
