Google

            Google has been changing rapidly. This march they are making a few changes to their policies. Google is taking all 70 of their policies and combining it into one. Also if you’re signed in, Google may combine information you've provided from one service with information from other services like your Gmail account or YouTube account. Last, Google is remembering all your contacts information and such, so it can be easier to share things with them.

            This has caused many articles to pop up and is really getting people going. In one CNET article “Google responds to Congress over privacy policy inquiries”, it explained how Google could be infringing on people’s privacy. Some of congress thought some users should be able to opt out of the data collection. Google just explained that it is one single policy that will make Google easier and more effective for everyone.

            I can see why some people might be weary or scared of Google’s new changes. But, I also think people need to realize Google is a free service. They can opt out of the data collection by not using Google. Google is not a necessity and is only there for the greater good for everyone. By letting Google collect our search data it is going to ultimately help Google make a better website and search engine and any other gadget they make and it will help everyone. So, I think people should not be selfish with their data that Google is only using for the good.
