> I will say that Googlers have a far better understanding ...it's far less scary. I've heard variations on this theme from a lot of Googlers, and it always seems like "just trust us!" but then they can't or won't publicly disclose any reasons why we should. Do you remember this pledge? http://neveragain.tech/ http://neveragain.tech/ > We refuse to build a database of people based on their Constitutionally-protected religious beliefs. We refuse to facilitate mass deportations of people the government believes to be undesirable. A bunch of Googlers signed that, but I'd wager Google has _already_ built that database. Maybe not explicitly, but I bet Google has a decent estimate of their users' religious beliefs, race, immigration status, etc. Those are valuable categories for marketers to target!
