What data do search engines collect, and to what degree do they violate your privacy? Privacy advocate and expert Dr. Katherine Albrecht introduces us to a new search engine called Startpage and tells us what search engines should (and shouldn’t) do. She is the author of Spychips, which explains how RFID technology tracks every move and purchase.

Today, we have an opportunity to decide whether we will allow search engines to record our internet activity for data mining purposes. The time has come to move beyond Google’s data mining grid. Tune in to find out how!
