Eric Schmidt recommends you “Just Move.”
Oh wait, Google is filming everyone, everywhere. So that won’t really solve the problem.
As I wrote in Omniveillance, once Google transitioned from capturing information online to capturing information in the real world, people really cannot avoid the limelight:
Currently, people who seek to stay out of the limelight can avoid using a computer, abstain from posting to blogs, and miss out on all of the fun of social networking. However, under this new regime, you can’t run; you can’t hide; there is no escape.
Google issued a retraction, noting that Schmidt “clearly mispoke.” But you still may want to change your name while you’re at it.
