Google is best known for its search engine, but it also offers a wide range of free services like its suite of online applications that make the internet a much more productive place.
Of course, it doesn’t just offer these tools out of the goodness of its corporate heart.
In reality, the company uses these free services to collect data about the people who use them, which it then uses to sell advertising space - and advertising is where 90% of Google’s money comes from.
In some cases, you can stop Google collecting data about what you do online and delete any existing data it may already have. You just need to know where to look.
What Google knows about you ? and what you can do about it - BT
This is far from new, it is not just google either....
The solution is amazingly simple and can be implemented very easily, even the most non tech person can prevent any of this by doing the following :-
Unplug the computer, modem/router and monitor and re-box them all then throw them in the bin. I guarantee that Google and indeed no-one else will get any further online info about you.
As for me, I don't give a sh1t, I have an advanced call blocker phone, which asks each caller to identify themselves before connecting them
... And I proceed with caution on the web. Job sorted
