They are doing this because people have very good opinion about Google and imagine Oracle as some evil corporation that want to attack their favorite sites (google, gmail, youtube etc). They would never win any lawsuit with jury because of that - this is their motivation, change people emotions towards Google.
- ocdtrekkie 10y agoIt's incredible to me how much people look the other way for Google. Talk about privacy invasive features in Microsoft's products, everyone loses their minds. Talk about privacy invasive features in Google products, people think you're being paranoid.
- dijit 10y agoNobody thinks you're being paranoid by thinking google is selling your data, that's known. But Microsoft previously did not do this, and you're paying for the operating system. To my knowledge you don't pay for google products. (excluding the business apps suites, which are still cheap for what they are).
- Oletros 10y agoNor Google nor Microsoft sell any data
- unfunco 10y agoOne is an advertising company and the other also has an advertising division, your data is used to target those advertisements, they're both absolutely selling your data.
- Oletros 10y agoNo, they are selling ad space. But if you're sure that they are selling the data to third parties, can you provide any source for that claim?
- bobdole1234 10y agoGoogle can match you with an advertiser based on your data without selling or disclosing that data to the advertiser. If an advertiser wants people who have searched for things related to cars in the last month, Google can send them impressions to bid on without any information about you changing hands at all.
