I use to kinda stress about google knowing all my stuff since I use so many google products, but then I asked myself why would it matter? Dunno, maybe I'm missing something. Why do you care Sothe?

Because apathy, as well as the "nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide" mentality is the measures governments used to exploit, and corporations currently exploit, to take away the rights of the common person right underneath their nose. And the level of corporate exploitation of privacy has only been gaining exponential growth the past five years. I believe that pursuit of the common persons private business is more incriminating than anything the common person could do. In the future, we won't be worried about what corporations will do to us, since they conditioned the current and future generations into not caring, or not worrying. I also recognize that a lot of people are more dependent than independent, which brings up another issue. People are expecting corporations to give them what they want. And how could they turn down any corporation that is giving them so many nice things, such as email, youtube, picasa, searching, etc. They have freedom to change things as they please; the dependent people won't complain, they still have their youtubes, and gmails, and searches. And who's going to stop these corporations from committing these crimes against independence? The political people of America are (always) swayed by the lobbyist, so the government could never protect your rights as a browser of the internet. The government won't help you, the corporations won't make the right decisions, and your conditioning betrays you. So the only solution is to find it within yourself to care. It's all about you. If you don't take the initiative to protect your privacy, then nothing will.

Disclaimer, I'm not going to get too bothered with any criticisms of this this time around.

I'm slightly amused that you speak of Youtube and the likes in hushed and hateful tones, but i guess that's partly what you're on about. As it stands, i just don't think it's worth getting worked up over, up until they actually start doing things that will legitimately hurt me and what i'm doing. Fortunately for me, doing such things with info they gathered without my explicit consent is a felony, which is VERY VERY BAD PR for a corporation of Google's size. If they are to keep doing what they do, they have to make sure that some major scandal doesn't shut them down.

Hotel companies were caught charging clients more based on their OS. Insurance companies were caught charging clients more, and changing their policy based on internet history.

That means they were doing things they legally shouldn't have been, and were thus punished for it.
Moving on.

Apparently from Vanguard Princess. I actually know nothing about it, I just like bouncy pixels and pilebunkers.
