What specifically did you wish to know about Google's Privacy?
They cannot monitor private messages, or any conversation that takes place in private forums (firearms/OT etc.).
They can (and do) spider the technical forums however
Does that help?
Thanks,
Adrian

Gotta ask a lawyer.
I saw a story on the news last night about some lady who spent two years trying to get some unfavorable description written of her by someone on an online blog forcibly removed - the comments were eventually found by a judge to be libel, and ordered to be removed with a written apology from the author.
The conclusion at the story's end basically was that whether or not something directed at an individual is permitted to be written and posted on the internet is highly dependent on the legal interpretation - there's a fine line between libel and opinion, and only a judge will make that determination.
So, if you cannot get it resolved person-to-person at your level, legal consultation and authority will be required to get it removed.

Private messages, and by this I mean PMs here cannot be seen by anyone except the sender and the recipient(s). Google cannot see them.

I thought I might add, I think we sorted out the question here:

That can be very dependent upon where you are located.
US law is unique in that it places the burden of proof on the person that the potentially libelous comments are being made about to prove them wrong before they can be removed.
Canada/Australia and a few other places, defamatory comments may exist until it is asked that they be removed. Upon asking them to be removed, they must be removed until the person making the comments can factually prove that they are true and correct.
In the UK, the comments cannot exist at all until you have factual proof that they are true and correct.
