Isn't selling your company with the data the same as selling your data?
- sneak 7y agoThis is the same situation as when Facebook bought that cool app Moves, and suddenly Facebook had retroactive access to all of my location history and IP+timestamps.
- mattkevan 7y agoIt's true Google doesn't sell your data: they just rent it out a bit.
- tomComb 7y agoSaying they rent it is almost as misleading as all the people that say they sell it. It implies that the renter gets the data and they don't and that distinction is key. But I too am not sure what the right way to describe it is. I guess you could say they use your data in the product that they sell.
