Google: the Epitome of Privacy Treachery

Apparently, Google doesn't take our privacy seriously even though it incessantly claims to. In March of this year, new terms of service and so-called "privacy policies" will take effect. In short, Google is going to start tracking us even more than it already is. By having a profile of us, Google will be able to flash advertisements that are supposedly "tailored for each individual". I see it however as nothing more than an attempt by Google to control our lives: if you live here, then this is what you should do, if you like this type of movie, then here are some "relevant" ads for you, blah, blah, blah. Folks, this is a classic loss of privacy and freedom and I for one don't support it. Of course, we can't opt out of this treasonous behaviour. Figures! I mean, it ALREADY does this on Youtube. For example, if you surf the website enough and watch a few videos, then Youtube will display a "Recommended for You" section on their homepage when you return to it. I'm sorry, but I want to be able to choose MY OWN likes and dislikes and to be able to turn ads off or on. I realize that I'm biting the hand that feeds me here since this very blogging service is powered and provided by Google, but I must speak out on what I believe to be evil and immorality running amuck. By the way, I hope the Google heads read this posting. I also hope that it deflates their self-importance and their overinflated egos just a tad. To see what I mean, here is a good London Free Press editorial on the topic. I realize that Google is a business and must make money, but at the same time it CANNOT be invading privacy, giving mere lip service to it, and forcing us to look at meaningless advertisements that we won't care for. Anyways, that's all for now. Have a good and free day.
