Well, while Google is described as having "entrenched hostility to privacy", LJ is "generally privacy aware", the second best category. No sites at all were described as "privacy-friendly and privacy enhancing", which was the best, so not a bad result, all told.

From A Race to the Bottom: Privacy Ranking of Internet Service Companies

Forgive my Soviet-informed experiences and prejudices ... but can anyone seriously expect privacy in this information technology world? I mean really, we are voluntarily spreading more information about ourselves, actions and motives, than Big Brother ever dreamed of gleaning in the Bad Old Days.

What's more, the ubiquitious spread and access of IT is such that even if we voluntarily switch off and choose to drop off the Net, we are still traced.

Moreover, does anyone actually want privacy? If all sites had lots of privacy we wouldn't have anything to read.
