> I'm not an insider, but I would imagine that with android, gmail, chrome, various search tools and google Web APIs (fonts, graphs, analytics...), Google tracks you everywhere, whether you are logged in or not. It doesn't even need a cookie with all the behavioral data it has to fingerprint you.
Why would they take all that risk when they allow you to opt-out of targetted advertising?
- sametmax 9y agoWhich risk. No actor has any way to verify that. It's incredibly complicated software, lost in the forest of their billions lines of code and thousand of servers. Even if any actor had the will, the mean and the skills to check it out, and I doubt we had even two of that, the task is immense and the ability to hide high. Add on top of that the power of a company that has the budget of a small country... There is no important risk. Now even if there were like 0.00001% of chance they get caught. So what ? What are the consequences ? Bad PR ? Who cares, customers will forget in 3 months. A fine ? Who cares, they can buy pay 10 times that before diner. Prison ? Scape goats and lawyer will make sure it's not a problem.
