So declaring that you are doing evil things makes you not evil? What a bizarre logic. What is evil? The dictionary defines it as "profoundly immoral or wicked"

So declaring that you are doing evil things makes you not evil? What a bizarre logic. What is evil? The dictionary defines it as "profoundly immoral or wicked". It also states that morals are "concerned with or derived from the code of behaviour that is considered right or acceptable in a particular society". So, as a society, do we consider it right or acceptable for a this private information to be collected and utilised in this way? If we deem it unacceptable (which I personally do, but I don't speak for society), then google is evil - along with all those others doing the same thing.

The article argues the information collecting people agree to isn't evil. It then goes on to describe a whole other set of activities and their consequences, but doesn't characterize that one way or another. I don't need the author to draw a conclusion here, but it's odd they don't.

  Well, then why complain about anything companies do? Its all buried in some Terms of Service document that people agreed to anyway.

    I think that's a fair point; fwiw I was just trying to clarify the article.

It's like antifa. anti-fascists is part of the name, so they can't be bad or fascistic.
