1. 6 kinds of your information Google openly admits to collecting
2. NSA infiltrates links to Yahoo, Google data centers worldwide, Snowden documents say
3. Google announces privacy changes across products; users can’t opt out

Now that is scary stuff. I don’t want anyone listening to me talk to myself!

[Cold Heart]

I avoid anything Google if I can.
Bought a new HP printer & it downloaded Google Chrome in a tool bar. I turned the bar off but its probably lurking.

>Google’s security team, which subsequently fixed them two weeks later but never released the update to the public because of an “ongoing discussion” within the “Standards group.

Vetoed by the NSA? Or just Google spying on folks for fun and profit?

RE :Any site operator that chooses to adopt Chrome’s speech recognition ability and buy a $5 HTTPS security certificate will have the ability to hack visitors’ microphones. Typically when a user visits a site, they have to manually allow voice recognition, after which Chrome will display a visual indicator telling users the function is live.
What users won’t see is the secret window sites can immediately open up after voice recognition is activated, which stays open and under the control of the site even after the user manually disables the function, thanks to bugs in the search engine’s programming. “

Dont allow voice recognition.

But have they test that with Chrome 32.0.1700.76 m, which just came out a few weeks ago? That vulnerability test may not be valid if the bug has been fixed with Chrome 32.x versions.

Here’s a clue - stay away from anything Google makes. Not too hard to figure out.

[bigbob]

Let me know when they’re listening, I’ve got a few things I’d like to say...

[Vendome]

It’s a feature, silly...

[MV=PY]

Voice recognition, both Google and Apple, occurs on their servers so you can bet they gather the data. This is an exploit of Google’s technology by web designers. They’ll close it because they don’t want others to have the data.

Same with Google Maps on smart phones. When you get directions, they know who you are (they know it’s your phone), where you are, and where you are going.

Same with Amazon Kindles. All your browsing activity goes through Amazon proxy servers and they collect it. It’s a data acquisition device and a point of sale system. Obviously they know your reading preferences.

The list goes on and on.

People are freely exchanging privacy for convenience, but most folks don’t know or don’t even care.

The Google God

…Government, education, intelligence, robotics, healthcare, automobiles, military weapons, weather, space, media, cellphones, banking, flying.

You name it, Google is there cooking up a storm of business all over the planet.

Has there ever been a company that is so intertwined into the whole entire global economic fabric of society?

Has there ever been a company that has been able to, "legally," access so much information about so many people and so many businesses on a continuous basis?

Google Earth? Google Maps? Google everything.

I had my laptop set aside for quite awhile. When I turned it on I did a malware bytes scan...It had OVER 200 PUP all with a Google Chrome tag and I wouldn't have anything Google related anywhere near anything I own

So Bug? Yeah, that's it...
What do you call it?
