Google Now Is Watching You I've been getting friendly with the newest features of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus phone, including a feature called Google Now. On the new start slider, when bringing the phone to life, you can slide to the right to go to the phone itself. If you go to the left, you can activate the camera immediately. It takes what you've been doing on the desktop and makes assumptions, which are then passed to the phone. It figured out where I live right away, based on various trips I may have planned on Google Maps. It always displays the weather, but that's easy. I'm told that if I have an appointment scheduled in my Google calendar, Google Now will calculate the distance and, if I'm cutting it close on time, pop up to warn me that I should leave. When Google rolled out this system, it mentioned certain features like the ability to provide a bus schedule automatically when it senses you are waiting at a bus stop. It seems it will also be extracting information you have on your Google+ social network.

FAQ – Government requests directed to Google and YouTube What is a content removal request? Governments make content removal requests to remove information from Google products, such as blog posts or YouTube videos. The data includes court orders sent to us to remove content, regardless of whether the court order is directed at Google. For purposes of this Report, we also count government requests that we review particular content to determine if it should be removed for violating a product's community guidelines or content policies. Is this data comprehensive? There are limits to what this data can tell us. Do your statistics cover all categories of content removals? No. How many of these requests resulted in the removal of content? The "removal request" numbers represent the number of requests we have received per country; the percentage of requests in response to which we removed content; and the number of individual items of content requested to be removed. How is removal different from blocking services? Yes.
