Google's new "You have no Privacy" policy

Posted on: February 21, 2012 at 2:00PM

So, Google has decided to notify the world they have changed their privacy policies.  Under the new policy it seems you as the user, have NO PRIVACY.  There was a blog posted last week by Microsoft that accuses Google of bypassing user’s privacy settings on Internet Explorer, after it was discovered they were doing just that on the Apple Safari web browser.
 
Think this is a recent act? Well it's not.  Google Inc. and other advertising companies have been guilty of tracking you, even when you thought you had opted to have this kind of monitoring blocked.  They were able to do this by using a computer code that basically dupes the browsers into allowing them to monitor your web surfing.   Browsers have been designed to block tracking like this, which is why that special code was used.
 
Oh and not surprisingly, when Google was contacted by the Wall Street Journal, they disabled the code.  There are have been many findings lately in Google’s new privacy policy that are just apparent contradictions.  They are treading on thin ice as far as the legalities, with the contradictions or let’s just call them for what they are: deceptions.
 
The fact is, companies are going to keep finding loopholes and ways to get around your privacy settings.   For every tool there is to block an invasion of your privacy, it seems these companies will find a way to get around it.  They make millions off the data they collect by following you by selling that data to different companies and agencies - or using it for their own marketing purposes.
 
This has given Microsoft the opportunity to talk up their Tracking Protection Lists, and there is even one that is specifically aimed at blocking Google tracking.   And so with that said, the new and improved privacy policy is more like an admission of the invasion of your privacy policy that has been going on for some time.  Thanks Google.
