Google is botnet and sells your personal data

>Google is botnet and sells your personal data
When will this meme die?

>buy ad for specific keyword
>anyone who comes through that ad has searched for that keyword

It's true. They don't sell your personal information because they use the data themselves.

First, what is their definition of personal data (fuck dictionaries on this matter)? If they mean things like real name, age, gender and such, well, they don't, but that does not stop them from making a profile based on your searches and tie it to your IP, not a hash.
Then again, we want to use their servers completely for free and somehow they are the jews.

>I see planes hitting two towers on CNN
>therefore real planes flew into those towers

You appear american op

what an insightful and thought-provoking response

>sell
Replace 'sell' with 'trade' and 'give'.

It's legalese.

Why doesn't it also say that they don't "give" your personal information to anyone?

This. Google is their own advertisement agency

See
As long as they say 'sell' they are legally covering their ass. They can give it away or exchange it with other companies all they want, etc because technically they aren't selling it. That's why they don't say 'give'.

Most people just see 'sell' and think oh ok cool it's all private.

Prove it's a hologram.

> we don't sell your personal information to anyone
> we don't need to because we have a fucking monopoly on everything and we can use your data ourself

Prove it's not.

They don't sell it, they just use it themselves to sell you targeted ads. You're going to get fucked in the ass either way.

Found the Christian.

You're right, they let the government have it for free

Im kind of late to the party but apparantly now you can't get a gmail account without your phone being tied to it

This.

Excellent semantics.

Google doesn't consider the contents of your email to be YOUR 'PERSONAL' information. Nor does it for anything else you have that uses their services after that EULA signing.

at least they're not forcing it onto existing accounts, right?

>largest advertising company in the world
>needs to sell profiles

>we do not sell
>we give for free

I don't run a yourtube page but while googling for a way to bypass (need a new gmail) I found some forum posts about people saying they had youtube blocked off. Tried getting yandex, Im not even getting the verification emails. at least you can close your account unlike some online casino

>fee
They give it as part of partnership meaning they get paid somewhere down the line. Seriously never have I had to check so many "don't give my info to strangers" chrome sends all you type to spell checking servers unless you uncheck
a flag. google account has account settings but then I also had to set the email settings to not make my email open to everyone on google +

You're right, they don't sell your personal information specifically, they sell ad space that is determined using your personal information.

>tfw daily driver OS is Xubuntu
>tfw browser is Firefox
>tfw use Startpage for search

>tfw use Yandex with my domain for email
still have one gmail account from when it was invite only, but feels pretty good to be off the botnet.

>firefox
>not a botnet
funded by google, user

>he wasn't 2 blocks from north tower when it happened
casual

Welcome back from 2015! It's actually funded by Yahoo now.

Also, it's open source unlike Chrome. I could move to Icecat if I want...

checked

Waterfox/Icedragon is the way to go user : ^ )

ok so I checked yahoo, zoho, yandex. apparently they all now need a phone (was there some law, why did not it make the news) yandex does not even tell you it won't receive mail if you don't give it a phone

Reminder that metadata is never considered "personal information"

Went with mail.ru .

I thought that said we don't sell your personal information anymore

>off the botnet
>Yandex

russian botnet > usa botnet

botnet = botnet

You appear schizophrenic.

The enemy of your enemy isn't necessarily your friend.

This is why this website is full of unbread idiots, or weaboos.

>You prove this

>Shit posting of irrelavent things show up between the 2
I am leaving this cancer, some of you should desu, I only returned to see if anything has improved.
