    And only for this content:

    Organizations with sites serving media, elections and human rights related content

  • Organizations with sites serving media, elections and human rights related content

    How many media and human rights related sites are going to want to signup for a service offered by a company that willingly shares user info with the NSA? Not many.

    Thanked by 2perennate gsrdgrdghd
  • May be the main idea is to forward more information and fast to NSA ;)

    The phrase "willingly shares" has a very relative meaning when you use it in the same sentence as "NSA" .

    I've got some things I'd like to express :)

    I bet they only invite people they agree with.

    Another attempt from Google to own as much info as possible.

  • I'm okay with giving them limited access to my info in exchange. Nothing in this world is free...

  • Lots of you guys mention privacy concerns, but if the place where the data is being hosted doesn't change (so essentially the data doesn't move) how would Google get more access to data? Wouldn't ddos protection just filter out packets that reach your server?

  • I actually applied just fine and got approved within 4 minutes. My website is a personal blog.

    You've just explained it. All the packets go to Google for filtering (which they can capture them all for analysis too) before it goes to you.

    All the guys trying to make a business out of DDoS mitigation just shit themselves. Probably the same guys who are doing the attacks anyways.

    Oh and please spare me the NSA paranoid hyperbole. Share it amongst your other tinfoil hat friends.

    Who the f..k cares about the brazilian and german terrorists and child abusers ?
    They should be happy the one nation under god is not taking them out with the drones... for now.
    And dont get me started about UN, the mouthpiece of terrorist organizations.
    Without that snowden traitor as well as manning and a few other unamericans, like EFF and ACLU things would have been restricted to a few tin foil conspiration theory fools.
    Now only the right-wing cults and war-mongers are dismissing the facts.

    I don't think Google is plotting to use this service for data snooping quite yet. It become that in the future, but the project is still in it's early stages and Google has a track record of letting free services run for a long-time before trying to extract a profit.

    I think it's great that a company like Google, with all it's resources, to make a contribution in the area of DDoS mitigation.

    Da fuq ?

    Meanwhile, the Associated Press quoted an unnamed administration official saying the Obama government was considering ending spying on allied heads of state.

    The official said a final decision had still to be made, as the internal review was under way.
