Onion News Network Special Report: The Google Opt Out Village

By KASHMIR HILL

Breaking news from the satirical Onion News Network. Those who still value privacy can travel to the secluded “Google Opt Out Village” … at their peril:

Part M. Night Shyamalan’s The Village, part Lord of the Flies. Fully hilarious.

Thanks for sending along, Bill and Zach (respectively — they’re not a couple).

        About Me

        I am a writer, reporter, editor and blogger. I'm an editor at Above The Law, where I blog about lawyers, judges, law firms and the legal industry. Here at True/Slant, I write about our changing notions of privacy.

        If you have story ideas or tips, e-mail me at kashhill@trueslant.com. I've hung out in quite a few newsrooms over the last few years. Currently, I can be found in Breaking Media's Nolita office. In the past, I've been found in midtown Manhattan at The Week Magazine, in Hong Kong at the International Herald Tribune, and in D.C. at the National Press Foundation and the Washington Examiner.

        I have few illusions about privacy -- feel free to follow me on Twitter: kashhill. Or friend me on Facebook... though I might put you on limited profile.

        What I'm Up To

        • Staying Above The Law

          judge

          Over at Above The Law, I write about lawyers, law firms, judges and the legal industry.

          We especially like “colorful news.” (Yes, that’s a euphemism for gossip.)

        • Writing with real ink

          While most of my writing occurs online at Above The Law and True/Slant, I do occasionally venture into the world of print.  These are some of the magazines and newspapers that I’ve written for:

          – The Washington Post

          – Washingtonian Magazine

          – Time Out New York

          – The Orange County Register

          – The Washington Examiner

           

        • Recent projects

          washingtonian issue for tsThe latest (and longest) “real ink” project: the cover story for Washingtonian Magazine’s December issue.

          While I’m usually a writer and reporter, I’m sometimes asked to play pundit. In November, the New York Times asked me to write a mini op-ed for its Room for Debate blog. In December, BBC radio asked me to talk about Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook privacy settings for its Newshour (19:00 minute mark), based on this True/Slant post.
