Con il recente rilascio del nuovo broser (se non sapete di cosa parlo spegnete il computer e andate a dormire) ci sono state ondate di commenti, prima positivi e poi negativi.
Quelli negativi si concentravano principalmente su una parte della licenza che concederebbe a Google diritti permanenti sui contenuti “inviati, pubblicati o visualizzati tramite i Servizi”.
È tardi e ho di meglio da fare quindi non mi dilungo ma riporto un trafiletto interessante.
In ogni caso se uno vuole continuare a essere paranoico non sarò certo io a impedirglielo ;-)
Google does not want rights to things you do using Chrome
I knew that Google didn’t want to assert rights on what people did using Google Chrome, so I asked the Chrome team and Google lawyers for their reaction or to clarify (probably several other people pinged them too). Here’s what I heard back from Rebecca Ward, the Senior Product Counsel for Google Chrome:
“In order to keep things simple for our users, we try to use the same set of legal terms (our Universal Terms of Service) for many of our products. Sometimes, as in the case of Google Chrome, this means that the legal terms for a specific product may include terms that don’t apply well to the use of that product. We are working quickly to remove language from Section 11 of the current Google Chrome terms of service. This change will apply retroactively to all users who have downloaded Google Chrome.”
I hope that addresses the concerns that I’ve seen on a few places around the web. I appreciate that people pored through the Chrome license to find anything that looked unclear and then raised concerns so that Google could respond.
