Several U.S. senators Jan. 26 fired off a bipartisan letter to Google CEO Larry Page, asking for more information about the search engine provider’s revised privacy policy. Google Jan. 24 announced that it will aggregate 60 of its Web services under one single privacy policy. Under this new policy, a user with a Google account who signs into Google’s search, YouTube, Gmail and other applications is treated as the same individual across all of those services, and data may be shared between those services. Consumers may not opt out of this change, which goes into effect March 1.
