Google's Privacy Policies And Their Power!


Google plans to start tracking and keeping the data on our activities on all of its services and combining it into one big file about each one of us. This is set to start on March 1, 2012.

When we use Google’s services it is not so surprising that they keep track of that, but when they combine it all together to get the complete picture of YOU, that is a little scarey!

Here are some services you may use from Google...

Google Search (all your searches and clicks are tracked
Google's Chrome browser
Mobile phones (Android or other device)
Image Search (all your searches and clicks are tracked)
News (what stories you click on)
Google Apps
YouTube (all your searches and clicks are tracked
Docs (all your content!)
Groups (discussions)
Ad Sense (you income from such)
Google +
G mail (all the content of your emails)
ETC...

Google's policy is that you can opt-out by not logging in to ANY of their services!

Here's the thing, Google isn't properly getting our permission to do this in a clear manner that everyone understands. If everyone was clearly aware of what they were doing, and use their service anyway, then they have made an informed decision.

Most people don't know that Google collects this information, but then to take it a step further and combine all the separate information into one big picture of YOU, and then be willing and able to turn it over to the government when requested is way too BIG BROTHER!

Many of us use Google because we love Google, but let's not have the wool pulled over our eyes and be led around like a herd of sheep. Government must NOT have access to everything about us, and neither should Google.
