Does Google Invade People's Internet Privacy

To begin with, here is a short video that explains that many watchdog groups and foreign governments believe that Google disregards its users' Internet privacy.  

In the video, the debate over whether or not Google had infringed upon users' right to privacy on the Internet is becoming a major issue as they continue to gather information on individual users' behavior and viewing patterns.  One of the major issues being dealt with is privacy rights and free speech issues.  Google had two new products, Buzz and mapping devices, disclose more information than they should about the individual users.  It is not just individual organizations and users being alarmed by this issue.  The problem has brought government officials from Canada and New Zealand, along with several other countries to Washington, DC, to settle things out.  

As users, we are beginning to see that as new technology is introduced, personal privacy on the Internet is becoming a thing of the past.  Users' private information is being displayed by Google without their permission.  This can even be seen for job applicants in the workplace.  For example, business owners are able to go online and get information on applicants that the applicants had previously thought was private.  This raises the ethical question of whether or not this type of action is completely ethical when trying to determine the correct person to hire for a job.  

Like any major corporation, Google is out to make a profit.  As an organization that has the ability to completely protect or invade a person's privacy, they have to make the decision of what they believe is more important.  Do they achieve a goal of maximizing profit while infringing upon users' privacy, or do they sacrifice some of their profit in order to protect users' privacy?  Many users would argue that Google is simply out to make money.  If they had cared about people's privacy, then this issue would not be at the forefront of conversation.
