Wait so google's approach of explicitly showing you the information they gather is worse than hiding the information they gather?

- pc86 9y agoI think he means the end result is worse. By being constantly shown the information you get desensitized to it. After years of that, you're much less likely to oppose this type of tracking than you would be had you never heard about it.
- MildlySerious 9y agoI wouldn't say worse per se, but it is bad in its own right for the reason the parent comment stated. If it's "normal" to track every step and shove it in your face, surely you must be paranoid to not let them do at least some of that stuff. I'm not saying there's no use for the data, and the services provided. It's just the opt-out nature of invading my privacy that I personally don't approve of.
- zeratax 9y agoI don't feel like they explicitly tell you. Seems to be more the tip of the ice berg to me.
