Thank you, much appreciated. I have entered some very sensitive health info into searches. I can't believe what they're doing is legal.

Wow, the internet is the greatest tool of all time, in my opinion, but these corporations and the government sure are doing everything they can to fuck it up.

Really? Why is that? You don't mind Google having your information and then selling it for profit?

ThailandTom

Not really, I do not really contribute a whole lot to the capitalist wheel or have much information that would be useful for them. It is a business google, and a business is there to make money, up to them. I will say again though that personally I do not mind, because of my situation, but I can see why others would care. I am not saying that it should be allowed to happen, I am just saying I don't mind my privacey in this sense being used.

Thanks for posting this, @LeonBasin. This is why I deleted Facebook over a year ago, but Google is so ubiquitous that it's impossible not to use one of their many apps. :hair:

Welcome! You can use bing.com for now. They are not mining data just yet. But then again...who knows.

Good! I deleted it, but came back...However, I hardly go on there or post anything. And if I do post it's articles I read or videos I watch.

So...if I don't have a gmail account what do I do ?? Just casually delete my history ?? ( it would be nasty, because I won't remember the link where I can see subtitled House MD episodes...)

ThailandTom

lol, yes anything to do with this kind of thing, just ask leon! You could start a business or blog about these concepts Leon

DaltheJigsaw

Sounds like a good idea, but not sure I care for the reward.

I just went to do this and I didn't have it turned on in the first place.
