According to the press: Google is to start targeting its internet advertisements according to what people look at on the web, a controversial technique that privacy groups fear will give the search engine group even greater access to personal information. The internet company will monitor the web pages that people visit and the YouTube videos they watch to create a profile of each user. What do you think about this? Did google cross the line? Thanks PlanningYourTax
Well google crossed the line to long ago, don't you think? But they did put a revolution on the internet...
Far as i know, they've already been using personal info for quite a while. I get pretty targeted ads. But, what the big deal if do use that info... i've nothing to hide )) And those who do care about their privacy should consider to change their interests (for their own sake) and what they google for.
Is there an actual article about this with some facts to back it up or is it just the usual Google Is Evil rant??
To be frank, the way google is going, I think they will reach a saturation point where they will just have assets full or servers and lots of servers and less users. Trying to make things complicated and more complicated is just not gonna help. Average people on the internet hardly use advanced features. They want to search something and that too a simple way. And that's what I prefer. I really think google is getting just too much now.
Google's ability to stay ahead depends on how well it caters to the needs of its customers. It should know (and it knows) where to draw the line between collecting personal data and intrusion into privacy.
You mean like advertising agencies do on television, radio, magazines and newspapers?! What's this world coming to?!!! And give you cooties. Next thing you know, websites will start tracking which browsers visit their site. Scandals abound!!
Yeah. I mean, they already have two buttons on their search page. What more do they want?! Won't someone think of the children???!!!!
