GOOGLE starts to collect all your data

[donald1]

I realize this may not be Thailand related but most guys read here first. Please move if needed.

Within 1 week Google will start to gather, store and use your every "search" for their marketing and promotion on Google and You Tube.
You have a few days to go in and delete all your past searches. just read the article below and it has instructions to clear your lot.

Thanks, history deleted and browse-history paused.
Don't know the consequence of that, but I'll see soon enough.

This is not new. I search for hotels online and then for days afterwards I get hotel booking sites advertisements.

Yes, what you describe has been happening for years but it looks like Google are taking it to a different level with the new policy.

It really is funny how some applications and browsers start collecting personal data from the users without their common knowledge. All the more is it being magnified when they discovered that it is more evident in mobile phones taking this familiar route. They seem to be getting data beyond what the person/user authorized for it to do so. A little too smart for comfort after all.

I checked my Google profile - the part that tells you what Google thinks you are based on your Search patterns eg. nubile 24 year old female with big tits - and was pleased to find that they say they know nothing about me. I put that down to having installed some time ago the Firefox and Google add-on Track Me Not which sends out a constant, random stream of search requests designed to confuse totally the sort of data mining on which Google prides itself. Below is the Firefox link and you will find it listed in the Chrome extensions as well. Surely all of those computer gurus on this board who claim to make their living from software should have been able to point members in the right direction rather than waiting for a simple black girl like me.
