Its their new Privacy laws. Not a good public relation move. Think it will hurt them. Such a shame though as my Android tablet is all google based..
Resistance is futile...
Just remember, you're insignificant and no one really cares what you do.
I know that seems super-harsh and mean, but I say it in the sense that what Google knows for advertising targeting hardly matters. You're an IP address or a user account to them. Not much more.
Sure, searching for illegal things might get you into heat if you're ever caught for anything else and they investigate... But I really don't think Google's advert algorithms are going to stab you in the back.

its funny that you think they haven't been doing that since you signed up years ago.
opt out of targeted marketing
Only if you are uneducated enough to let it happen.You do realize that when you see ads on the Internet, almost all of it is targeted at you based on your browsing history, search history, what you're currently viewing, etc, right?
Why? I have one of my accounts on hotmail, and it works fine. Type mail - click send.i dont mind google, still get better email service than yahoo or hotmail
Who uses the web ui for gmail?
I block web mail at work and then setup outlook to pull it in on my laptop
Because WoW is the only RPG with stats?
You can trust big solid names, like Sony for example, to never mishandle your personal info. What could go wrong.
Privacy policies are legally required if your site is accessible by users in California. Federal law requires a privacy policy if data will be collected from anyone under the age of 13.*The way I see it is any "privacy policy" is designed not to protect your privacy, but to inform you of how you are agreeing to give it up. If they were going to 100% protect your privacy and not share you data, there would be no need for a privacy policy.
Who pissed in your cheerios? Cry more please...
I think they're going to track your location and stuff with any Android-powered device for more data.
Honestly, it's kind of scary. If Google got subpenaed, they would have _everything_ about you. All the emails you send, websites you visited, apps you own/use, documents you keep in their Google Docs, tracking data for everywhere you've been, and all your emails.
I'm considering getting out of Google, though I've used Gmail for years. It's going to be a tough switch if I do, and our phones are Android. I use NoScript and block Google Analytics, so at least some of my web habits may not be tracked.
When I do buy a new smartphone I want to go Android just to go against the Apple bandwagon and the fact that you have to unlock it to do anything cool, but all this tracking stuff Google is doing is indeed kind of creepy. I guess I could physically disable any GPS related device on the phone. I'm sure there are already tutorials online to do that.
I really don't understand why people are so convinced the government and Google are sharing information under the table. I don't think you realize how much Google doesn't want to cooperate anyways.
They barely help when subpoenaed, and they absolutely NEVER turn someone in themselves. I'm sure there are illegal stuff in people's Gmail accounts that Google could find in seconds if they wanted to. Do you really think they're going to even bother? Of course not, it's cheaper to not only just play ignorant, but BE ignorant.
Google probably can't even tell you what ads were just shown to you 10 seconds ago and why. That information just doesn't help them and they really don't care what their algorithms deem "targeted" and why, as long as it does target you and sell ads.
