If data privacy is your goal, keeping both at arms length would be ideal... except most people can't choose how much data* ISPs scoop up, or even choose to switch to a competitor if they disagree with an ISP's policies.
*In contrast, you can control a decent amount of what Google collects on you.
- ignoramous 7y agoAgree. But... > Google monetizes your data themselves That's what I thought abt Facebook and Twitter: It looks like they might ship anonymized (or not) data to third-parties when appropriate. Amazon, too, make a lot of data available to sellers on their platform. Google could be doing that, too, in the guise of claiming to do something else. Or, it already is.
- userbinator 7y agoMy goal isn't really "data privacy", but to oppose Google acting like it owns the Internet and doing whatever it wants to further its agenda.
