Google’s business model is the antithesis of privacy. The less privacy the better for companies like Google. I don’t mean that as hyperbole, but I would be very curious to know when it comes to privacy, what’s in it for Google?


Your continued use of their products - thats why Google remains as much of a theoretical concern as Apple, who will happily tell you they keep track of all of the articles you read, tap in their search results, and purchased in all of their virtual stores, among many many other things, for targeting.

For some reason people treat Apple as if offering grouped ad targeting is the same as being private, but when Google does the same, it's treated as a fundamental sin

The central error is only a first order analysis can lead to the conclusion that Google doesn't care about user privacy - it's probably it's most fundamental value
