Google changes Chrome EULA over privacy concerns

Ok but what about the GOOGLE Terms of Service

EULA for Picasa stinks as well - which was first?

Well, I do hope they go back and change the EULA for PIcasa as well. I was trying to install Picasa 2 and thought of looking through the EULA - since the Chrome EULA made such a fuss. That means all photos, videos, pictures I post there - whether I classify them as public or private - are Google's property to deal with per their discretion. I do hope your website gets these clauses rescinded as well!

Here's the text there hidden away in section 11 (quite a few page downs from where they start):

11. Content licence from you

11.1 You retain copyright and any other rights you already hold in Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services. By submitting, posting or displaying the content you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive licence to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services. This licence is for the sole purpose of enabling Google to display, distribute and promote the Services and may be revoked for certain Services as defined in the Additional Terms of those Services.

11.2 You agree that this licence includes a right for Google to make such Content available to other companies, organizations or individuals with whom Google has relationships for the provision of syndicated services, and to use such Content in connection with the provision of those services.

Uninstall Comments

I installed Chrome at work the other day, and I read the EULA. I'm looking forward to Chrome being more polished and full featured. Anyway I uninstalled it from work, because I didn't have permission to install it anyway, and google asked why. I pointed out a few places that need polish, and then I told them that paragraph 11 in the EULA was totally unacceptable. And now they've changed it. Cool.

Can you imagine MS changing a EULA to reduce their rights and improve mine? Tonight I'm installing it at home. Google wins me over again.

Google now MOST untrusted web company: do you agree?

In one fell swoop, in one hit, Google has become the most untrusted 
web company, because of their Hitler/Stalin-like EULA clause where the asserted the right to own everything that you type into Chrome.

The fact that they corrected it, under pressure, means nothing.

What matters is that they attempted it in the first place.

Don't give me that stuff about copying the EULA from somewhere else.

I prepare contracts. The fact that that clause in the EULA existed somewhere else, means ... it exists in another Google EULA. It means 
it's within Google's mode of operation to do that sort of thing.

In my mind, you are now THE MOST UNTRUSTED web company. Seriously, who 
else is there that would be more untrustworthy?

Microsoft? They haven't done anything that I know of to steal MY data. 
Apple, nothing in this area so far. Sure, Microsoft does detestable 
things with their OS, but that has not extended to stealing my data.

Google can give explanations that the EULA was copied from another EULA, but that in itself says that the clause exists in another Google 
EULA. So explain that, Google.

It's ok! They'll use your

It's ok! They'll use your confidential business information and your personal habits and your DNA code, but they'll only use them to target ads at you and it'll totally be kept within the marketing department. They're not evil! They said so! http://notnews.today.com/?p=57
