As we all know now, google's new "privacy & terms agreement" basically eliminates any and all privacy from their site.

Google will now share your information that's in your history with ALL its other affiliates of google.


Here's more information and a video: How to remove your Google Web Data History
http://news.yahoo.com/how-to-remove-your-google-web-data-history.html



If you don't feel like educating yourself right now, here is the one step you have to know:

1) Type in: google.com/history to clear your history (even though we all know in the back of our minds that google stores this information on their servers and it's a sham)

I'm not so concerned.

ya it told me it could turn it on, but said nothing about turning it off so I assume that means it was never activated

3/1/2012 2:23:41 PM

i, too, only have the ability to turn it on

3/1/2012 2:34:32 PM

Use it against them. Google all sorts of random ass things.

you sheeple are going to be why you're going to be owned by the government.

Take the path of least resistance.



You say this information is worthless but if it's so worthless, why would so much effort go into spreading your information from site to site? The answer is because the information is invaluable.


By the way, turning off your history settings only turns off your history settings. Google still retains all the information anyway, but I made this thread anyway by the 0.05% chance that Google is honest.

Interesting read
Is the way Google is handling our search information evil?
Have we become so dependent on Google that we are willing to give up our privacy?
What does Google know about us that they aren't saying?
What else does Google do with our information besides target ads?
Do they share information about individuals with the gov't?

Is Google able to link web history to a specific individual if said individual isn't signed into Google, YouTube, etc.?

3/2/2012 1:42:07 PM

That's a good question, but if I were google, I would just steal all your information that is tracked while you're logged-out... right after you log-in.
