Google boss dismisses privacy concerns

Google boss Eric Schmidt has said that internet users who are concerned about privacy shouldn’t be fretting if they have done nothing wrong.

In an interview with CNBC, Schmidt said that users who have done nothing wrong have nothing to fear and confirmed that Google was retaining customer information that could be accessed by the government.

"If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place," he said.
