> Google has heavy cognitive dissonance Perhaps, but I think some of that behavior only appears dissonant. Like the NSA, Google often uses carefully constructed language that is designed to sound like a statement about a topic of concern without saying anything actually useful. For example: > Google doesn’t use fingerprinting for ads personalization The only reason to add "...for ads personalization" is if they are using fingerprinting for for other purposes. This could include other ad-related purposes like attribution. Google claims about not using specific data for a specific purpose are probsabl7 true. They simply fingerprint (and probably correlate) everything else.
