All right guys buy something sickening Google gets caught grabbing information from Wi-Fi network says it snapping pictures like -- Ford's -- Google Maps and -- behind a grand sum all of seven million dollars about what Google makes.
In an hour.
And our -- -- who says -- by the company at all would you not remotely serious about privacy concerns.
In the least I was shocked.
Not only by the behavior.
But the punishment for the behavior what's going to possibly influence Google to stop this sort of thing.
When.
They don't miss this money and our.
How what's gonna stop it -- is people actually saying no to all these global products and all the intrusion that Google does.
When you get a global phone on android phone or any android tablet.
When you sign up to when you're on your new computer global keeps coming out you saying all we wanna sign up for global plus.
We want to track you on your phone want to track you on your tablet.
We want to do this service and we -- -- with this other free email service.
These services are not free or cheap.
The cost is that it's taking your data.
And doing what it wants -- that including on deliverables on the -- sharing it with the federal government.
You'll are the so when you use of global service and global then sells that data and makes money from it and the seven million dollars is indeed a pittance.
Of the amount marijuana when they find so little what was the deal would.
Well it's we've got within the little legal issue was very touchy because the laws are lagging what the technology is dealing.
So in an ideal situation I think the individual people who have their data taken.
In an unauthorized way could sue Google for damages the problem is that there aren't a lot of provisions of the law right now.
To allow for that kind of tort action.
So that it relies calls back to the attorney generals of the states.
And they are political candidates they have to raise money they have to work in a very political situation who moved.
-- money now but you know I didn't understand political company I'm sorry I -- what I didn't understand in this case is.
I I understand the convenience of of of Google Maps -- number when apple had its own.
Map program -- and it's about one Google's it's much better.
You know this is going on -- is that people way this at home and say well.
And others the risk that they're gonna be snooping on me but -- their maps are so so great -- appears so cool.
I guess that's the trade off how do you dispel people the notion.
That.
That it needn't be -- trade offs for new technology that and and your privacy isn't one of them.
You write your privacy does not need to be a trade off -- a lot of people feel.
That there is no hope that it's hopeless you can't do anything to keep your data away from these data collectors.
Global is the biggest one but they're not the only one but actually you can you can vote with your actions and not do it for example.
Deals free email services use one or or -- low cost email service that doesn't take your data.
I'll tell you now you -- -- because I think fatal mine.
Well I don't know I don't think they all lie and do battle not -- they're very clear.
Yet Google Google and they're almost as we are stealing your stuff.
Well.
Yes -- and wanted to use Google -- by the way if you read -- terms of service when you put your files especially business files.
All Google apps -- their -- service brand global holds the copyright to your own intellectual property -- so amazing -- you.
Use different service or goals through the settings get some help from someone go -- the settings to use a more private service but I got something people can -- to day.
Right now this afternoon to enhance -- privacy.
Don't use google.com.
Go to a service like dot dot go dot com -- other search engines that don't track Q.
It was a simple it's starting to use a different service that doesn't do the tracking send a message you know the -- And I they won't do it are -- very good stuff thank you sir.
Thank you --
