Agree completely with your first sentence, well said and thanks for saying it.
Disagree with the second statement - I may be wrong, but I think at least a lot of Google's revenue comes from placing ads in search. No selling of privacy, or at least done in a way that people completely understand.
- rayiner 14y agoA lot of Google's revenues come from selling targeted ads in response to searches. Your private information--from GMail, your other Google searches, etc, all goes into those targeted ads. And of course, advertising is dependant on companies wanting to create proxies for prestige and quality. It's called branding.
