Privacy DOES NOT EXIST - Google

Hello, i am writing this because a article i read and i belive is right.

Google claims, Privacy DOES not exist.

Why?
They can trace Phone calls,
They can trace purchases,
Amazon can watch what you buy so they can advertise you.

Everything you do, it is watched and monitored.
The UK have plans to build a place where everything will be monitored, websites you go on, phone calls and other things, although they are stating, if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear.

But still, i dont want sum mid-aged man looking @ my history or my phone calls.

Whats your View?

The stuff you've mentioned doesn't realy bother me. Of corse amazon know what you buy from there website, and its an automated system which checks what other people bought who bought the same product as you. Theres nothing wrong with it in my opinion.

It's kinda obvious Amazon know what I buy and what I may like...

Not sure how Google can trace phone calls and what I buy though :S

Maybe the G1 saves your call history or something.

What's G1? :P I rarely use my phone for calls anyway, and they can't exactly put them to use...

Of course. Even as we speak google monitors everything you search and keeps records of your searches.

Internet Providers are also monitoring what your uploading.
So I guess they are monitoring:
What sites we view
What we download
What we upload

Also, they can also view your emails. When they are sent through there servers, the emails are scanned for words i.e. Bomb Making.

So I guess that power could be abused to view emails.

Your ISP can see what you have viewed. so what you download and things like that. They just cant see what you have done with it after.

I dont see why people complain about amazon.
Tesco do the same. They can track when your on ur period if you always shop from tesco and use ur clubcard everytime.

To be honest your monitored on alot of things and you don't realise it the UK is the most watched country in the world, you're just not aware of it at all, yes ISP can watch your DL and UL's from where it's from to what it is however the actions taken are slim due to rules and regulations, our phones are traced/tapped well your own fault for making them want to trace you anyway, just because it can be done doesn't mean it always is done, your own fault again if it happens to you.

They only keep records for 6 months and you'd be amazed how much Google's search engines logs and ISP logs have brought people to prison cause of child porno and murders.

Google did not make a phone. They made a partially open-source OS based on Linux for mobile phones.

Show you how many total downloads you have already have had, they also let you extend your account for free or redeem them for free gifts irl. 10k points = 30 days , i've already used 10k so i've had around 26k downloads!

And very randy :P

They'll only use these results when something happens, so not a worry really. Unless they hire billions of employees to scan through what you search. Think realistically people ;)
