I empathize, but I'm pretty sure that Google already knows a bit about your employment, and/or is doing really good modeling to figure it out probabilistically.

I empathize, but I'm pretty sure that Google already knows a bit about your employment, and/or is doing really good modeling to figure it out probabilistically. (Ex: if you make Google searches between 9-5 in a certain location consistently, you most likely work there.)
- frgtpsswrdlame 9y agoI'm not sure this is really a defense... I try and practice a certain level of privacy (not enough) but I don't really like how much google is aggregating on me. Just recently I had a problem with my car (Honda Civic) so I searched some youtube videos on it and ended up ordering a part online, now my Google News feed is showing me a whole bunch of articles for the Civic Type-R and asking me if I'm interested in Honda. That's my mistake for being lax but I'm starting to think that maybe we should reconsider our relationship with our personal data. Google relies on individuals like me to make small slips which permanently compromise our privacy.
