What is a "Google Account"? It's a fuzzy thing - they track you and sell you without a log in or not.

- StavrosK 13y agoGreat, so completely free internet, with exactly as many strings attached as everyone else gets, even though they don't get theirs from Google. I don't see why people are complaining. Getting tracked is an issue completely orthogonal to the internet access Google is trying to give people.
- achalkley 13y agoYou're telling me that you don't think every HTTP request could be tracked by Google? Someone not on Loon wouldn't have that. Could Google provide free internet without tracking people?
- StavrosK 13y agoI'm sure it's possible. I don't think NSA-style tracking of all requests would be in Google's best interest, as it wouldn't do wonders for their image.
- achalkley 13y agoThey don't care about their image. They care if they get locked up if they don't comply.
- VMG 13y agoBut they could do this with other ISPs as well. The problem is the NSA.
- shawn-furyan 13y agoWho is "they"? Google is an enormous organization that goes to great lengths to protect its image. As an organization, I think Google is more concerned with its image than jail.
