Are you aware of google ?

9 years ago

I have stopped using gmail for that very reason. I only use hosting companies that allow me to create free email accounts tied to the domain name or alternately I use the email that is provided by my Internet service provider. Hope that helps.

Thanks

If you clear your cache and cookies you won't have the same ads following you everywhere.

It's a method advertisers use to follow you until they make a sale.

Open a brand new account on Facebook. Don't provide any information whatsoever other than your email address (mandatory).

Now watch as Facebook starts suggesting people that you might know - people that you DO actually know.

Spooky or what?!

They've been doing that for a VERY long time and if you don't like something, then don't use Google. It's as simple as that.

Google is a business and they are doing everything what's "legal" to maximize their revenue and keep the shareholders happy. Have a look at their privacy policy and you'll see what I mean.

Thanks

Thay can not do much about that. At the moment European Parlament is debating about G and FB and tring to force them to stop collecting data from EU citizens cause it is against EU law.

Do you think that in the worst scenario EU can ban FB and G in the europen countries because of that ?

What about Apple ? How they are collecting / using data from us ?

To Apple users because there are lots on them amont wariror comunity. How do you prevent sending too much data to Apple ?

Thanks

Uh everyone is doing that.. with every product. Pizza Hut is collecting data from their sales and comparison it to purchased data from the meat industry to determine if they need to make Turkey burgers.. but what does it matter? What personal data are you worried about? They aren't collecting any data to deter illegal activity.. thats the DOJ's job and it only happens after a crime has been committed. So what is more reasonable to assume.. Google is collecting data to deliever better quality ads to try to get clicks so it can make revenues.. or.. it decides profit is a bad word and wants to rid humanity of all criminal activity and has partnered with the department of justice to ensure its users are skeptical of using its products and violates NUMEROUS federal laws in the process... ya.. guys grow up and use the product.

Ok i am gonna give you an extreme example what can happen in the near future if google will know everything about you. Your age, your habits, interests, people you know, where you are.
Few months ago scientists made thinking robot who play games. Everytime it play a game it getting better and it beat human. The robot is not plaing any scheme. It predicts what can heppen. There is no doubt that robots in 100 will take place in our daily life because it will be cheaper for us to buy robot than nany.
Anyway lets get back to google. Now it collects data and sending an contextual add. People in general do not know about it. They do not care about why those things show up in their screens. Google manipulate people to sell a product. What if they start to manipulate subconsciously and force us to do something ?
If the robos will start to think and based on web activity will choose people who are mentaly weak and convince them to murder or souicide? They can use psychological aproach and sending those people some adds or knowledge how to do this and generaly mind **** them. You will tell me that rebel of the machine is hardly possible but we do not know what will hapen in 100 or 200 years.

Thanks

Also.. the facebook thing.. its because you give it access to your email account that looks up all your email contacts and then suggests you add the profiles connected to those contacts.. not rocket science or voodoo.

Wait, what? They use topics you talk about in chat to display those ads? Are you sure you didn't visit the advertiser's website at some point or another?

There's a way to target people who've visited your site, but this is the first time I'm hearing about it happening from chat logs.

Thanks

One thing so many people just seem to not understand. When you use a free service, YOU ARE THE PRODUCT!

Want a service for free? Then be ready to be the product or just don't use it. You can pay for a service or get it for free and be the product.

It's really that simple.

  Although it's a fact of high-tech living. It's still kinda creepy knowing you're being watched and followed by strangers you don't even know.
  
  That's the price or the exchange. You can run ... but you can't hide. So, find ways to embrace it to your advantage- best you can. The Genie is out of the bottle. Truth!
