They sell the ability to use your data, not to access/see/download it. I can use all the data for ad targeting, but in no way I can actually see it. Advertiser

Advertisers buy the attention, Publishers sell it. Google is the intermediary that connects the right advertiser to the right publishers, and charges x%.
- vthallam 10y agoYes! I find it so hypocritical of people who seems to be extra careful about their personal information. I understand this makes sense for some people, but for most of the others, Google using your meta-data to show things which might interest you and by also helping you with great applications is cool. Not everyone wants to pay for things to get privacy.
- narrowrail 10y agoYou appear to be saying that people who value privacy are hypocritical because you want free stuff and do not care about privacy. I can't find the logic in your comment.
- vthallam 10y agoIt's hypocritical because not all people who talk about privacy, pay for a good service!
