Do you think Google doesn't sell that data, or that other companies don't collect and resell it?

In either case, I'm sure that's how it starts. "This company has very little power and influence; what damage can they do?"

Until, oh so suddenly, they're tracking and profiling you and selling that data.

Based on some friends in Google, I don’t think they explicitly sell it but live ad auction is something I’m wary of.

Also, it’s less about what they currently do but what they’re capable of. A Cold War of privacy of sorts.
