  1. Re:Weaning your self from Google by improfane · · Score: 1 · on Study Finds Google Is More Trusted Than Traditional Media

    Walking around the house in the nude does give you a great sense of freedom. I've unfortunately looked into windows while on trains and buses and seen the same... I do it to. Actually, I may even be naked now, while typing this very message.

    I'll try explain myself further. My concern about your video viewing history is that it reveals a lot of information about you. It reveals more than just a web search would, take a look at AOL Stalker. The point is not that other individuals can see it (although that's terrible), it's more about what is being added to the Google's online file on you.

    • Have you seen that Collateral Murder video leaked by Wikileaks? Indication how many people have witnessed the video for the US Army. Attempt further coverup or go clean?
    • You watch an illegal reproduction of a music video or a film on YouTube? You're liable for having it streamed to your computer. RIAA is suing file sharers now, in the UK you can be disconnected for copyright infringement.
    • with an account, everything is tied to you as an individual. I assume this makes it easy for the media companies who are in bed with YouTube to receive statistics on their own videos.

    It's a bit of a slippery slope argument but why are people so oblivious to what is being collected by them? Do you really think it's for your benefit?

    I'm finding my own argument weaker than I thought. Thanks for provoking me into more thought. Essentially I want Google to know less about me online aggregated life.

    Try this fun search to see who searched for their SSN.

    It's amazing the kind of information [click link to see, it's not just SSN] people put into a public search engine.
