We, the searchable In Mid-january,#Facebook introduced Graph Search, a way for the average user to tap into the social network s web of interconnected human intelligence.

###letting advertisers target users not only on the basis of their##likes##on the site, but also by correlating that with data about

what they buy through other web services.####OK, now I m convinced Facebook is#trying#to be creepy,

and governments ordered web companies to give up data on individuals of interest, but the scale of this trend has always been difficult to nail down.

On this front, Google has led always the way, and the January 2013 edition of its semiannual Transparency Report showed the numbers of such requests had increased 70 percent between 2009 and 2012.

However, while Google covered itself with more glory than most on this aspect of transparency,

The company was fined by a German privacy regulator#for the 2010 siphoning of people s passwords and communications by Google s Street view cars.

the unification of Google s disparate services represented an attempt to do new and serious things with people s information without true permission,

A lot of people were unhappy about Google search and Maps##and Google+##knowing about their Youtube commenting habits.

However, although European privacy laws are significantly stronger than those in the U s a February survey showed that#Americans are nearly as keen as Europeans on protecting their online privacy.

Google said Glass would gain the same functionality, which also became a feature of the#Moto X#smartphone.

It alleged that the NSA had#direct access to the servers#of the big U s. tech firms, such as Google, Microsoft and Apple.

and transmitted through American web services. As well they might. While Snowden had ignited a#debate in the U s.#about the constitutional protections that U s. citizens were supposed to be enjoying in their home country,

With the advent of the web, that data-gathering activity took on new dimensions. And now we knew about it.#

It can also involve knocking on the door of Google or Facebook. Even without the firepower that can be brought to a targeted investigation

but the trust system that governs web security has#integral flaws that need addressing. As the closures of#Lavabit and the Silent Mail service#showed,

Google, Microsoft, Apple and others appeared utterly complicit with the NSA, as though they were happily inviting them into their data centers for a look around,

Knowing that, many of the big web companies were scarcely encrypting the data they held in storage, let alone the connections between their data centers.

This has led to fears of a##balkanization##of the web, with unpleasant censorship potential. However, the web s globally interconnected nature makes this a tall order at best.

What does look set to happen is a legal and technical reinforcement of online privacy. The United nations is#working on a resolution#affirming that human rights apply online as well as offline,

and on the technical side the web may soon beencrypted by default. But what of the tech firms

And Google, which delighted privacy advocates in July by releasing an Android feature called#App Ops#that made it possible to turn off specific tracking functionalities in individual apps,

a browser feature that s supposed to dissuade websites from tracking internet use with cookies.
