Most kids just stay logged as as their google classroom email, so that includes search/youtube/etc. Of course Google is tracking all that usage and targeting them for ads.
- hnpolicestate 2y agoBy the time they turn 18, Google will have such a perfect model of who they are. Will sell to the CIA, FBI etc. Complete profiles of how citizens think. Really evil stuff.
- nox101 2y agothis is a lie and you feel ashamed and stop spreading it. Google doesn't sell profles period and doesn't sell data to the fbi/cia The only evil here is you spreading false info
- hnpolicestate 2y agoYou are either being dishonest or are just ignorant. User data is disclosed to advertisers when they auction for ad placement. Many of those advertisers then sell the user data they collect through the auction, whether or not they win the auction, to other parties. It's a virtual certainty the FBI, CIA, NSA etc purchase that information. Your argument is basically Google didn't do anything wrong because they are not the direct point of sale. But they aren't fools. They know what happens to the data they disclose to advertisers. It's repackaged and sold again.
- nox101 2y agoUser data is not disclosed to adveritsers. Please produce the documentation where I can purchase user data. All I can do is ask google to target people. I can not get info on those people from Google.

- hnpolicestate 2y agoI'm going by this document from the Irish Council for Civil Liberties and a lawsuit brought against Google, signed by member of Congress, that alleged data brokers are "siphoning" off bid-stream data and reselling it . It makes the claim that U.S Dept of Homeland Security uses real-time bidding data for warrant-less phone tracking. https://www.iccl.ie/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Mass-data-breach-of-Europe-and-US-data-1.pdf?utm_source=simpleanalytics.com https://www.iccl.ie/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Mass-data-bre... https://www.tampabay.com/news/2021/05/07/google-selling-users-personal-data-despite-promise-federal-court-lawsuit-claims/ https://www.tampabay.com/news/2021/05/07/google-selling-user... I get the desire for a smoking gun. Maybe one exists and someone else interested in the subject could share it. But at some point, people make judgement calls based off of the information made public. I would bet my original assertion is true, and that Google data is somehow being sold to the federal government, to build dossiers on it's citizens. Same with E.U. citizens.
- tylerchilds 2y agoi wouldn’t claim sale, but was prism a lie?
- tehwebguy 2y agoWell, we all know about Prism, the Google law enforcement portal, subpoenas and national security letters. Do those four not cover their description?
- UncleMeat 2y ago"Google turns over data when served a warrant" and "Google sells data to the government for profit" are very different things.
- gitaarik 2y agoAnd why is your claim not a lie? How are you so sure they aren't doing that?
- gitaarik 2y agoThe FBI / CIA is known for demanding big tech companies for information about citizens. They obviously also do that, and largely probably, at Google. So actually it's not selling, they just demand it, and Google gives it.
- Barrin92 2y agoFor what it's worth since the DMA went into effect in Europe, you can now turn off sharing between almost all Google services. https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/14202892 https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/14202892
