I forgot that as companies grow, there are bound to be employs who are evil by nature.<br \/>It reminds me of my Pre-Placement Training during college days when I was &#8220;tutored&#8221; that, <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">Honesty is not a strength. You are supposed to be honest<\/span>&#8221; This obviously isn&#8217;t true when people take the excuse of &#8220;everybody-is-doing-it-so-why-not-me&#8221;.<br \/>And lets face it.<br \/>Money matters!<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, coming back to the topic; I mentioned in one my previous blogs when my Google AdSense account was disabled because of my own mistakes. I took the responsibility and had no complaints. However, when my AdSense account was disabled for the second time, I made a thorough study of their privacy policies. That&#8217;s when I came to know about their two-faces.<br \/>They allow several sites to utilize their services even when they falter with the terms and conditions. One thing common among all these sites was, &#8220;they all are High Traffic sites&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>As I mentioned, a post on the topic was long overdue. I stopped myself with one or other reason. The latest development, however, made me talk about it.<br \/>According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.privacyinternational.org\/article.shtml?cmd%5B347%5D=x-347-553961\"><span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Privacy International&#8217;s<\/span> latest report<\/a> on Top 23 Internet Companies, Google held the last spot (even below M$). This topic, as Privacy International itself admits, is controversial. It&#8217;s report however, is substantially supported.<br \/>You might want to have a look at the post on the same topic <a href=\"http:\/\/ha.ckers.org\/blog\/20070612\/google-ranked-worst-in-privacy\/\">on RSnake&#8217;s blog<\/a>.

Another post on <span style=\"font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;\">innovativeness<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:bold;\"> of Google technologies<\/span> is due.<br \/>And BTW, I do not mean to say that Google has turned evil.
