Whoa, I had no clue about this activist group against Google. I often think it's scary how much Google is dominating the tech industry and just how much of our data they have. But they haven't done anything wrong with that data to make us distrust them yet, and they are starting to try to be more open about this with Google Dashboard and new privacy controls. Would love to hear your guy's views on all this!

For the occasion of Transmediale 2010, F.A.T. members met in Berlin and produced a series of projects dedicated to the topic of the week: FUCK GOOGLE. In addition to free software, browser add-ons, live streams, communiques and on-site workshops, F.A.T. Lab built a fake Google Street View car and shared the ‘how to’ guide online: click here to check it.
