Amazon's snoopy search engine: A9's Privacy Policy

If you were concerned about Google's GMail privacy invasion, you better read this line: "IF YOU HAVE AN ACCOUNT ON AMAZON.COM AND AN AMAZON.COM COOKIE, INFORMATION GATHERED BY A9.COM, AS DESCRIBED IN THIS PRIVACY NOTICE, MAY BE CORRELATED WITH ANY PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION THAT AMAZON.COM HAS AND USED BY A9.COM AND AMAZON.COM TO IMPROVE THE SERVICES WE OFFER." On the other hand -- WOW, I'm impressed by the features they offer...

This is the latest example of poor Google ad juxtaposition

If I had to guess what happened, I'd predict that the automatic filter here saw "man pleads guilty" and "2nd charge" and used that for one ad with the headline "Accused of Rape" and the other ad for "Microsoft License Experts." While it's bad that a piracy case gets an ad for rape, I think it's twice as bad that rape and Microsoft licensing are somehow associated.
