New Facebook

[neon]

I don't think it's that bad. I like Facebook, it's still pretty easy to use. I would get rid of all the pop-ups on Farmville, though.

why do you have an issue with google collecting data?

Google tracks and stores every email you send (if you use Gmail), every search term you look up, every Google chat you make, every conversation you have with Google Voice, every appointment you enter into your Google calendar, and every Picasa picture you store, among other things.

They even track everything you search on for up to six months even when you are not logged into Google! The amount they know about each individual user is quite staggering.

It doesn’t matter if you use ad-blockers or not; this data is still collected about you. And private browser features, such as those on Firefox and Safari, do not stop Google from collecting this data; it only stops website information from being stored on your computer.

Google stores all this information about you in giant databases so they can mine it, target ads with it, and run various algorithms with it.

But all of this is what they already know about you.

What about the new privacy policies?
The New Privacy Policy Changes

In a nutshell, Google’s new privacy policy changes allow for the consolidation of all the information they collect about you over all their product lines, such as YouTube and Google+.

So, for example, if you search for something, you may see ads for that search term when you are on YouTube. More than 70 company policies are being consolidated into one main policy and about a dozen others. Separate policies will continue for Google’s Chrome browser and its Wallet service for electronic payments.

Here is a video from the search giant explaining its “simplified” privacy policy.

What they fail to mention, however, is that another one of their changes is that if you want to use any of Google’s services, such as Gmail, you can not opt-out of this data collection.

It is this point that has many privacy advocates up in arms.

It begs the question: does our personal information belong to us or the corporations that collect it? Instead of being forced to adhere to these data collection rules in order to use a popular product, shouldn’t we insist that companies give us the option to allow or deny them permission to track and store our personal information? What happens if hackers get ahold of this information?

With these new changes to their privacy policy, Google has said that they are trying to “provide you with as much transparency and choice as possible.” However, if we cannot choose to opt out of their data collection, how much choice do we really have? Google is betting that most of us will find it too burdensome to give up using gmail and other Google products.
It’s all About the Money

Google, along with Facebook and other web giants, want to learn as much as possible about you so they can sell advertising. The more they know about you, the higher the rates they can charge to marketers looking to target people who are interested in certain products, such as sky diving or underwater basket weaving.

Google reports that users who view targeted ads are 37% more likely to click on an ad than those that are targeted randomly. So whatever Google says, the real reason why they want to consolidate as much information as they can about you is for one reason: it makes them richer.

Now, there’s nothing inherently wrong with a company trying to maximize their profits. The question we should be asking is: at what cost? Do you have the right to maintain your online privacy and only allow companies to use information about you as you see fit? Or do companies have the right to control whatever information they collect about you for their own purposes?

Collectively and individually, we need to decide if we are comfortable with companies such as Google collecting vast amounts of information about us and our online habits. And when companies like Google leave us no choice to opt out of their data collection if we want to use their products, we should probably also ask ourselves if their products are really more important than our privacy.

Google tracks and stores every email you send (if you use Gmail), every search term you look up, every Google chat you make, every conversation you have with Google Voice, every appointment you enter into your Google calendar, and every Picasa picture you store, among other things.

Took a whilst responding, I had to get a translator to translate from Corporate Cocksucklingish to standard English.

Have I been to a Walmart, yes I have . I hope this information helps you.

Walmart, they are the ones who sold armour piercing bullets to school kids right ?

Took a whilst responding, I had to make up my room, and do the rest of my chores b/c my mommie was gettng on my ass again.

You asked I answered, how old are you, old enough to have no hair ? so sort yourself out

again.... difference when I insult you is it is usually true. You protect corporate america like bill gates is going to do a money pop shot in your face. So talk about mom and you haven't mentioned mental illness for at least 10 mins.

Perhaps we should invite Mancuso tio talk about hiding Thorazine under his tongue, Later he could help create a scene that bald people from buttfuck can post events and bump constantly whilst quoting themselves for corporate america, walmart, amex, forbes and face/google whilst yapping about the artistic merits of Guetta and British DJ's from the 90's that no one really cares about today.

So yeah Walmart, is Walmart a personal friend or just someone you care about ?,

To answer your question about Walmart, in more depth. I remember going along straight roads, on either the side of those roads, pretty natural, except for stores, the same group of 5 or 6 stores, perhaps every 10 miles or so, same stores. After a whilst it started looking the same, like being stuck on a rolling road with a projection of the same stores either side at regular intervals. I'm sure Walmart was one of those stores. I did visit, but I can't recall much about it really, I remember the natural views, the wildlife, the weather, the company but didn't take any snaps of Walmart. I seem to have banished it from my memory bank. Oh, I do remember having a slight regret at not buying that plastic, battery operated singing James Brown doll, although that soon vanished.

you're obsessed w/ the successful things and people that you purport to hate ... they've put in the time to achieve - you've put in time on your keyboard, in the form of rants all these years

Stop crying like a little girl who's just had her doll spit roased by wild dogs.

You asked a question about Walmart, I answered, it's that simple

not some corporate protection whining, I'm pretty sure they employ people to do that for them, lots of em, legal teams etc, or as I call them, cunts.

Yes i've been to Walmart. so there you go, are you going to debate.. was you expecting an answer you didn't get, why did you ask ?


On a side note, did you ever get those barbed thorns out of the roof of your mouth, the ones that detatched the last time you noshed on satans cock ?
