EPIC filed the complaint under the guise of google's record in regards
to private information and just how much more data this would put into
one companies hands for massive levels of data mining. Doubleclick was
able to track visitors as they bounced from site to site, now add that
to google's ability to track what users are searching for and then add
all the documents from the state governments they are working with.
