- misterman0 8y ago>> Not necessarily the data Yes the data. The whole request and the whole response. They need it in order to properly train their ad-network. </speculation>
- reitanqild 8y ago> They need it in order to properly train their ad-network. Given that they scoop up all this data I'd appreciate if their ad-network actually improved. Just the other day the dating site scams where back. "We'll try not to show it again" they say. Well for vacuuming the market for the best and brightest they either don't try very hard or they are very dysfunctional because they fail as a group.
- markstos 8y agoYou mean if you opt-in (or haven't opted out), right? I was under the impression this was optional.
- gregknicholson 8y agoBut you're an honest, decent citizen with nothing to hide, right? Why would you want to opt out? And anyway, it's “to improve your experience”, so you can't opt out. It's for your own good. Remember, Big Brother loves you.
- rum3 8y agoGoogle has a very different definition of optional.
- mtgx 8y agoYes, see how they still tracked Android users' location, despite location setting being turned off.
- rum3 8y agoThey have designed the whole android interface to scatter the settings around so it is very difficult to turn off many of the privacy-invasive features. And even if you manage to turn them off, somehow they always end up turning themselves on again. Everybody working for this company should be ashamed.
