This sentiment seems so weird to me. Can you point to a single enterprise offering where Google is collecting data and using it themselves? Or where it would even make sense to do so? Corporate customers pay a lot more per byte than the fleeting value of private data so Google has a strong incentive to never ever touch that data.

- SilverRed 5y agoPeter's comment comes off as satire to me. A joke about how absurd it would be for google to store 8 exabytes of data for decades because it might one day be useful.
- usrusr 5y agoBecause it might one day be useful for.. targeting ads? I can almost see the abuse potential, the ads "I know what you did the summer of 1997" will turn us all into mind controlled consumer drones. (those of us who are old enough)
- hulitu 5y agoFor them, maybe not. But maybe you heard that there are some agencies which are interested.
- mda 5y agoI think it was a satirical comment.
