You doubt this? When Google's entire business model is based on surveillance? Even if they are not logging everything now, they will be.
Google's standard tactic has been to offer some service that is enticing, that "just happens" to put them in a position to log massive amounts of data. They do it with analytics, they do it with email/IM, they do it with DNS, and every other service they offer. Each one gives them access to a new type of data they can log. Are we supposed to believe they will suddenly run ISP services differently?
- revelation 12y agoSure, but as you point out, they build their business on it. That's how they make their money. Verizon or AT&T on the other hand will happily give your raw port 80 traffic to any random 3rd party if it means they get an extra buck out of it.
- magicalist 12y ago> They do it with analytics, they do it with email/IM, they do it with DNS Send a lot of cookies with your DNS queries, do you? DNS has this page[1]. Analytics uses first-party cookies, not google ones. The best they could do there is associate it all with an IP address, which would be a bad way to associate data and still leaves the question of what they would do with it at that point. Customize the ads only for that IP address? [1] https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/privacy https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/privacy
