Though Google claim they will anonymise and aggregate data before using it, I would be considerably happier if the data were not collected at the outset, as per: "Our contention is that the easiest and best solution to the locational privacy problem is to build systems which don't collect the data in the first place." http://www.eff.org/wp/locational-privacy Presumably, this would best be done using Tor, and Connell's exciting work. I'd be interested in anyone's views on developing such a thing.
