    about a year ago when i closed my google account(s). same with facebook, although if their shadow-profiling is any indication of 'how its done' then you can expect google to start silently tracking the same inferential data about you as a person instead..

    either may have started as amicable services, but both have rapidly evolved into a flagrant, unapologetic breeches of privacy.
