Welcome to the real world people , everyone has taken their red pile yet ? I mean you are giving up personal infos and data for (crappy) free services , what did you expect ? a free lunch with no hidden cost ? the government has all your datas and it will use it against you sooner or later.
- sfjailbird 13y agoThis has nothing to do with the services being free.
- jayfuerstenberg 13y agoActually it does. Free services means the loyalty is NOT to the users but whoever pays the bills (usually ad merchants). That's why there are "privacy policies" and not "privacy guarantees".
- e12e 13y agoWith regards to government spying, I think the only way which the business models of Facebook and Google matter, are that they are tuned towards gathering (and centralizing)data in the first place. I think there are big problems with the ad supported business model -- but I don't think it is that central to spying. Remember Hushmail?
- mcintyre1994 13y agoIs there any evidence that paid Google Apps data, for example, wasn't transferred then? If this is because the service is free, they'd be protected, correct?
