I personally believe the same as you, I don´t think Google is becoming evil, they´re doing a great job, and for that, the more data they have the better. I think that some blogs and tech magazines just try to create controversy... The same happened with the change in terms and conditions of Google when integrating services, even if it´s something that is common sense, if I have many different services with them, why not integrating them?Miguel Angel Rojasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2978055249893125163.post-8351152785079800842012-04-30T11:01:31.988+01:002012-04-30T11:01:31.988+01:00To a certain extent they already do.

That's what the census is - finding out who lives where and what their personal needs are (for health, social services, education, refuse, sewage, policing etc.) to then redistribute our taxes accordingly.<br />There is a point at which we must make a decision to be online or not. If we are truly concerned with privacy, we could use Tor and hide our IP and browsing behaviour from even our ISP. We should, of course, not sign in to online services (such as Facebook, LinkedIn or Blogger) and we should not use email as they can be tracked by the email provider.<br />And then we could not purchase anything online as they would know our address (for deliveries) and, more importantly, our payment details - our credit cards etc. But of course, the banks know those already, as do all companies we deal with.<br />So if we want to ensure complete privacy, we must operate on a cash-only basis, never do anything online except browse with a system like Tor, and never join our local library, video-rental club, supermarket loyalty scheme or use our Oyster cards...<br />So the line I decided to draw was to engage completely online...but be aware of what I was doing when. I have TOR installed and, particularly on the laptop, will use it in certain circumstances...but not because of Google or the government... just out of natural paranoia about my fellow man...Sealtreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08977844694752065492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2978055249893125163.post-74721159323802248522012-04-30T10:50:35.702+01:002012-04-30T10:50:35.702+01:00Being an all out Google user, I agree to some exte...Being an all out Google user, I agree to some extent. However, as a thought experiment, would you think differently of this 'friendly' way of using our data, had Google Drive been owned by the government, rather than a private company? Would you still trust and endorse this way of using personal data to enhance their services?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
