Settlement]<https://secure.eff.org/site/Advocacy?id=433&pagename=homepage>

With help from a proposed class action settlement, Google is planning to
dramatically expand its Book Search service so that millions of books will
be available for browsing, reading, and purchasing online. But in designing
this new service, *Google is leaving reader privacy behind*. Without strong
privacy protections, all of your browsing and reading history may be
collected, tracked, and turned over to the government or third parties
without your knowledge or consent.

Email Google CEO Eric
Schmidt<https://secure.eff.org/site/Advocacy?id=433&pagename=homepage>and
demand that Google Book Search protect your freedom to read privately.
You should be able to read about anything — from politics to health —
without worrying that someone is looking over your shoulder. Demand that
Google pledge it will not stockpile information about who you are and what
you read and will not become a one-stop shop for government fishing
expeditions into the reading habits of Americans.
