New Google Privacy Videos Offer Advice On Product Settings

If US Congressman Joe Barton never got an answer to
his many questions about
Google Privacy (which
I thought
wasted time asking for stuff an intern could locate), perhaps he’ll be happy
watching some of Google’s latest videos

released that cover some very specific privacy issues on a
product-by-product basis. They join some other video content to help grow the
Google Privacy Channel on YouTube that was
created last month.

Here’s a rundown:

• 
  Google Privacy Tips: Unlisting Phone Numbers
• 
  Google Privacy Tips: Street View
• 
  Google Privacy Tips: Google Calendar
• 
  Google Privacy Tips: Chat "Off the Record"
• 
  Google Privacy Tips: Google Docs
• 
  Google Privacy Tips: Web History
• 
  Google Privacy Tips: Blogger
• 
  Google Privacy Tips: Picasa
• 
  Google Privacy Tips: Cookies

These videos can all be found within the
Google Privacy
Channel. They join two preexisting videos that cover search privacy:

• 
  Google Search Privacy: Plain and Simple (see
  Now Showing: Google
  Video On Privacy for our review of that one)
• 
  Google Search Privacy: Personalized Search

There are also videos of other types, such as Google giving public testimony
on privacy:

• 
  Nicole Wong at the FTC Town Hall on Behavioral Advertising
• Peter Fleischer
  at the CEPS-Google event in Brussels

And if you need some relief from the privacy stuff, you can watch the blooper
reel:
