That's some pretty extreme language. Google has never cut me open and turned me into steaks and sausages. Google has never indicated that i'm somehow lower status than it. Google in fact seems to treat everyone but a few large enterprise customers equally indifferently.
Google is in the search business, I believe 90+% of revenue comes from adwords and adsense, not selling user information to intelligence agencies, as your hyperbole would suggest.
Of course we all know all that, so I'm assuming you've had some kind of account issue with them in the past.
- jerf 13y ago"I believe 90+% of revenue comes from adwords and adsense, not selling user information to intelligence agencies,..." Err... what exactly do you think AdWords and AdSense are? Think about what it means to target ads... they advertisers are not paying to know what browser you're using. They're paying to get their ads targeted on whatever Google knows about you. Even if the knowledge doesn't transfer directly, the advertisers don't really care, they've got what they want.
- rtkwe 13y agoThey don't sell the information though, they sell placement.
- hkmurakami 13y agoWhat about the other side of the adsense equation: site owners placing Google ads who sometimes get hosed off the service with little room for recourse or support?
