Re: [Sheflug] Google's Privacy Policy

Hi

http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2012-03/01/why-opt-out-of-google-
privacy-policy

"  This morning on BBC News, the talking heads from the street all 
confused Google's latest privacy changes with spammy email marketing. 
Then the presenters showed typical tech-savvy panache by reacting in 
shock when they discovered algorithms read your Gmail and present ads 
at the side.  We're entering this strange phase of privacy where 
people truly can't fathom what is being done with their "personal 
data". When they hear changes are coming, they for some reason equate 
that it means Google will be rifling through their old love letters and 
home videos and selling them to the highest bidder. For all the 
articles out there that detail how to circumvent Google's new privacy 
policy, there's a real lack of anything that truly explains why.  "
