- dijit 11y agoI'm actually one of the few people who seems to be scared of google, and probably rightly so- so far it's just been paranoia that "they have all this data" on me and so many others. yet continually they seem to be actually fighting for privacy. I admire that, but they're still an insanely large target, and, even if they don't share that information now- you can bet they're tracking/logging it... it's their business model.
- b3lvedere 11y agoAll that data may be profitable in the future in some weird way we cannot even imagine at the moment. They have the resources to store and use it. Maybe even abuse it if they can find out some happy legal way to do so. The grey zone between privacy and public keeps morphing. Problem is what kind of data/information should be public and what should not be public. And in what form? In what timeframe? Some information could be very benificial for one (company, person, government, institution, etc.) , but have horrible consequences for others.
- ucaetano 11y ago"they're still an insanely large target" But they seem to be orders of magnitude better at keeping it safe than, let's say, your government or health insurance companies that have orders of magnitude more data than Google. I trust more my data with a business than with a government. Business have a lot to lose by leaking or selling your data, governments couldn't care less.
- ionised 11y agoI don't share the view that Google are as benign as most believe them to be.
- yomism 11y agoI expected Google to be in this but not Apple, weren't they about defending the privacy of their users?
