google aggragates personal information and sells it to 3rd parties



Google may "combine personal information from one service with 
information, including personal information, from other Google services 
-- such as combining search data with other data -- say, what videos 
you're watching on YouTube -- it can learn more about you.

"If other users already have your email, or other information that 
identifies you, we may show them your publicly visible Google Profile 
information, such as your name and photo.

"We (Google) may share aggregated, non-personally identifiable 
information publicly and with our partners -- like publishers, 
advertisers or connected sites."

"When you use our services or view content provided by Google, we may 
automatically collect and store certain information in server logs."

Google stores anything from Google Voice data (such as phone number, 
calling party number, duration of calls) to device event information 
(like crashes, system activity and browser type).

Google sells access to NSA, CIA, and many other organizations.

New default settings will allow Google to cross-reference a logged-in 
user's activity among its vast and varied Internet presences, which 
include the elegant Google search engine, the cool YouTube video 
repository and the impressive inner workings of Android phones.

Google says it is initiating the changes for the good of the user. 
Consumer advocates and privacy-protection groups don't see it that way. 
They fear that Google is gathering too much personal information — 
without a person's consent — and spreading it all over the place. Rep. 
Ed Markey, D-Mass., who is co-chairman of the Congressional Privacy 
Caucus, is quoted in The Boston Globe as saying: "The new Google privacy 
policy is: You have no privacy."
