Does Google have special privileges or something?

Lately I have been seeing a guest with the IP 66.249.72.208 viewing profiles(which isn't possible for guests here.

After a few days of this I've decided to look into it.  I suspected it might be a search engine.

IP address info:
IP address:    66.249.72.208
IP country:    United States
IP Address state:    
IP Address city:    Mountain View
IP postcode:    94043
IP latitude:    37.419201
IP longitude:    -122.057404
ISP:    Google

It's Google.   Why can Google view our profiles and shit?

Googlebot? That thing crawls all over the web. You should know that.

Yes, but it shouldn't be able to view our profiles and stuff.

Yes, but it shouldn't be able to view our profiles and stuff.

SMF's "Who's Online" feature isn't accurate for guests. You should know that.

I am Googlebot.

Yes, but it shouldn't be able to view our profiles and stuff.

Googlebot has admin at our site.
