Google Teaches Users About Privacy by YouTube
Google, on the heels of a report released this week that says most users—many of them college students—don’t worry about their personal information showing up through search engines, announced a new series of videos meant to educate users on Google’s privacy settings.
The series, appearing on YouTube’s Google Privacy Channel, is part of the corporation’s effort to raise awareness about how users can control their personal information when using Google’s products, according to the Official Google Blog.
The videos cover different topics, like how users can manage their search histories and adjust cookie preferences, enhancing users’ control over how their personal information is displayed.
Apparently, though, making videos about privacy on the Web can be as troublesome as, well, privacy on the web. Google shows this, too, lightening things up with a blooper reel:

With this excellent news I no longer care about the way google violates privacy and other human rights around the world, including in the USA. May I have another cookie and glass of Kool-Aid, please?

So much for the blooper reel — activating the video now shows “We’re sorry, this video is no longer available.”
