[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1282929"] Not at all. Like everyone else, I have to use their services from time to time. But it's dumb not to understand that they are *primarily* an advertising agency, and that everything they do is in service to that. That's how they make their money, as opposed to say Apple. If you're fine with that, that's okay with me and obviously with you. But you should BE AWARE OF IT just as you should be aware of it with Facebook, since Google goes to great lengths to hide the extent of their data collection of you. By comparison, Facebook makes it obvious. I'm just relating the facts, it's up to you what you do with it. [/QUOTE]
