"The privacy concerns and having Google collect yet more data about the universe? Not so much."
Why? As far as I'm aware, they haven't been snooping into people's private data. Nor have they been explicitly selling it to any third party. And the haven't been abusing the data we have given them.
Now, don't get me wrong, they have most certainly been monetizing that data. But that's a different story.
Are you simply just scared of what Google will store/infer about you?
- DanielBMarkham 13y agoYou are responding to a charge I never made. I said I had privacy concerns, not that they were snooping into data, selling it to third parties, or abusing the data we gave them (not that we would all ever agree on what "abuse" meant, or ever know what might happen to all of our data in the foreseeable future)
- zo1 13y agoNo, you misunderstand what I was saying/askin. I asked "Why?" And then I proceeded to enumerate all the reasons I could think of that would lead a reasonable person to have "privacy concerns" about Google. And I also said that they did none of those. Agreed. Abuse wouldn't be even very feasible to define, let alone get the majority of people to agree on.
