No One is Safe From Google

A teachable moment if I ever read of one:

Mr. Reidenberg teaches a course on privacy law. Justice Scalia made comments earlier this year that sounded skeptical about privacy protection for all online information. So Mr. Reidenberg asked his class to compile a dossier on Justice Scalia. After some Googling, the Washington Post reported Tuesday, the class came up with with Mr. Scalia’s home address and phone number, the price of his house, some of his favorite foods and movies, his wife’s personal e-mail address, and photos of his grandchildren. (The dossier has not been published, online or elsewhere.)
