Really? Seems to me that Google has an awful lot of information about me.
My phone number for starters. Who I call. Who calls me. Where I am. (sorry, as one person explained to me, "They don't know where you are, they just know where your phone is.") They know every Google search I've done and every site I've linked to from Google. And I'm sure they know lots more that I can't even conceive of. I know that Google is just this big benign money-making behemoth who only wants that information to sell ads, and no, no harm has come to me ~as far as I know~ from all this data collection. But the potential harm should this stuff get into the wrong hands is a bit scary. And, harmful or not, I just don't like anyone knowing that much about me without my ~real~ consent. It's called "right to privacy" a concept that is sadly close to non-existent today.
