I love the cognitive dissonance here. The same people attacking google for monitoring/storing private information and manipulating users are celebrating google for monitoring/storing private information and manipulating users.
They don't want "daddy google" but yet they want "daddy google" to tell them how much youtube to watch, what to search, when to go to bed, etc.
When google starts talking in a paternalistic manner, I worry. And my skeptical side just sees this as google's ploy to justify monitoring people. "Hey, we keep your private information and monitor you for your benefit.". Yeah right.
- spuz 8y agoWe're well past the point of Google storing private information and manipulating their users. If you're going to assume we have already lost those two battles, wouldn't you prefer your adversary to concede you a little bit of freedom to sleep better and feel healthier? The only alternative is to drop our technology all together, or develop a kind of self-control that most people have demonstrated they don't have.
