Default Google wants to know you better

Do you worry that Google collects too much information about you? I certainly have nothing to hide, but I don't like being tracked by Google, or any other company for that matter. An article on The Hindu discusses this very topic:

Quote:
..., in another India-specific case concerning the use of Orkut, its social networking site. When a Google user posted a defamatory image of the Maratha hero Shivaji on Orkut, the Indian police asked Google for his IP address. Google gave it. Airtel then provided the physical address of a man which, they said, matched Google?s data. He was arrested and jailed, but turned out to be the wrong man.
Jailed the wrong man? Now that's scary.
