FTC Fining Google Millions Over Safari Breach

[HEXiT]

companies will never stop doing things like this unless they are fined more than they will make from it... google will just shrug and pay up because they made more money than it cost em in court.

I don't really like google that much to be honest. They ruined youtube imo with all the ads and they're taking over the internet.
Google fiber though I am interested in, particularly because i live in Kansas City.

Ok, you guys sit here and complain that Google put a cookie on your computer to locally track your movements to better serve you ads. Key word locally... Yet Apple had been tracking the movement of every Apple device and sending it to their servers. Wow, to bad Safari doesn't have a "Block Apple from tracking me" button.

This fiasco sounds more and more like a poorly written security setting in a browser than any wrong-doing by websites. Apple should write more code that doesn't work then sue companies that get around their broken tweaks intentionally or otherwise.
