I made my choices carefully and consciously. As I said, I entrusted Google with my data, my emails, pictures, history. I know that my data is never sold to anyone and always kept secure. Google is probably one of the most careful companies when dealing with private data in the world. I can delete or take a copy of it if I want as well.
Needless to say, I disagree with the "you are the product" polemic.

Sadly, given the scale and pervasiveness of Google, observing meta-data and cross-referencing your activity with others' activities is good enough to deduce most of the valuable information about you with reasonably good reliability. And this data, both by itself, and also aggregated with other users', is "good enough" for any privacy-busting use. tl;dr: you are the meta-product.
- mda 8y agoSorry, but what you say doesn't make any sense. What meta data are you talking about?
