Discussion: Slashdot | Google's Software PrinciplesGoogle has just posted a new set of "Software Principles"at their [1]site on how they feel about spyware and the like.

The question is, though - why would a company who makes spyware (whose very nature is to be secretive and hard to remove) want to follow Google's principles?"
