[citation][nom]dark_knight33[/nom]Exactly. Why not just let the likes of Google & Facebook hold onto our freedom for us? You know, so it's protected. It's just the like the gov't doing it, only you can trust google/facebook to not abuse it. I mean, they would never whore your personal life out to make a buck, right?/sarcasmWhen will people realize that the gov't USES facebook and google to get your information? This is never to your benefit. *THE* best way to protect your personal information from people who might use it against you is to not give it out in the first place. Alternatively, if a company is going to make a buck selling my info to a third party, I want a cut. Hey I'll go all "Keeping up with the DarkKnight's" if it means an extra paycheck. I'll be happy tofilm myself acting like an ass and give it over for people to exploit for the right amount of $$.[/citation]
oh no, the government know i like cats, porn, and my god, that i have a few friends.
seriously,the govenment doesn't care and if they have the ability they will wiretap you for no reason, so google takes my personal information, being my name location and probably key words that i post places, and sells it for better ads, remember the days of 10mb email boxes, or yahoo that let you have allot more, but sucked a bit more than hotmail... gmail gave me i believe 2gb day 1, gmail currently gives me 7.5gb ish. as far as im concerned, they can have basic information and sell it for that service they provide alone, they want to make searches a bit more personalized, and possibly pull in a few more $ per ad, i do not care.
the government wants to tap you THEY WILL
an internet company gives you free services in return for ads, I DONT CARE
i will never understand why people have such a problem with people knowing anything about you... you also have a problem with people taking a picture where you accidently end up in the background too?
what im saying is you have NO privacy unless you live off the grid entirely.
