Google CEO: Secrets Are for Filthy People

"If you're not doing anything wrong, why can't a cop come into your home?" says the sheriff throughout history: "'If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place.' The philosophy that secrets are useful mainly to indecent people is awfully convenient for Schmidt as the CEO of a company whose value proposition revolves around info-hoarding. Convenient, that is, as long as people are smart enough not to apply the 'secrets suck' philosophy to their Google passwords , credit card numbers and various other secrets they need to put money in Google's pockets."
