Instead of a "Do not track me list.". Why not make a system in which you are assigned a different random number on every ip you go to. USE encrypted email. As for web, why not make a web browser that lets you kill any tracking image or cookie by Google. For example anything smaller than 16x16 on an image can be assumed to be a tracking image.
@xanatose google offers an opt out of being tracked for Google Search already, also Gmail IS ENCRYPTED, there is also a google chrome extension called adblock that will prevent you from seeing Google Ads and you can also block cookies from Google natively in any browser(except maybe IE, cuz IE sucks)
what's you're arguement?
And yes too much power leads to corruption. So far however Google has done a good job in not "being evil" there have been few privacy related issues with Google.
What a lot of people fail to realize is you're not forced to use google. I can name 10 other search engines off the top of my head and I can use any of them. Also -- why is google being singled out? My ISP also tracks what I do... in most cases if you get in trouble online that's how agencies get your personal info.
So for all those people that commented on this you know that you have to SIGN into a google account or a YOUTUBE account. Right. This is retarded to a new extend really this is pointless and plain out creepy. Its google. Look if you want to be an anti social shut in go try Bing.
BTW GREAT JOB POSTING ANTI-GOOGLE VIDEOs ON YOUTUBE.
"did you know mommy is looking up old boyfriends on google?" Does that mean Mozilla is evil too, for having "history" and a "cache" (which, just like your search engine..is all up to you)? No, kiddies... it means Mommy and or Daddy is the only one to blame. That's almost as ridiculous as blaming Kodak because "Cousin Sally" put a picture of you and your family from your birthday party on Facebook
Let me get this straight. You want an amazing free service, but you don't want Google to make any money from you? Are there any instances of Google using their information for "Evil?" Or are you just scaremongering?
Here's an idea - if you don't want Google to 'track you' then starting using another search engine, and let that track you instead. Additionally, there are plugins for all major browsers that can block advertising cookies (from any online advertising company, not just Google).

Dear @Consumerwatchdog your fear mongering tactics will work only on the most stupid and uneducated of people. If you use a "Free" service on the internet you know you'll be getting targeted ads. Google is foremost, a company, a company needs to make money. Services like G-Mail, Google Docs, Google Voice are always at the forefront of inovation.

Same old meaningless propaganda. We're careless stupid naive children and Google's taking advantage of it. Don't want stuff public? Don't put it on the World Wide Web! It doesn't get simpler than that.
@VaguelyRapt Well considering the direction of societal development what do you propose?
Try applying for a job sometime. Or even better yet if you get a job that offers a work at home program just turn it down. Wonder how much space you will need to store all the files you will need to do business. Maybe you should go out and do all of your purchases at the store too. And why even bother to check and see if what you need is in stock. Just waste that gas and productivity. Heck....Why not.
@VaguelyRapt Actually all of that is personal. Passwords, credit card numbers, financial info. Both with business and personal. Even your favorite brand and flavor of ice cream to take things to the extreme.
Things to get blown out of proportion on a regular basis. It's called the news. However the message of abuse, both potential and actual, definitely rings true.
To say stay off the web and conduct your daily life in this day in age is a statement that borders on ignorance.
This is like complaining that there isn't enough privacy in the world because everyone has a camera phone nowadays. This is just where we are going as a society. Say what you will, but these tradeoffs have been happening with every technology introduced and widely adopted. Government regulation doesn't apply to everything.
We need to understand that if we move our systems and services to the WORLD WIDE WEB, they become somewhat public.
@VaguelyRapt Most people have "offline" jobs. Also, most people have cell phones, GPS, ect. At least in this country.
While things do change over time. However the basic premise of a certain degree of privacy should not. When Google is tracking your every keystroke on their website then that fine degree of privacy has most likely been breached. I think that in some ways laws have to be adapted to the situation. This is one of them.
Google tracks what they feel can help improve the service they are offering to you for free.
Don't like it? Don't use it! Why is this so hard to understand?!?!? If you talk to me, are you pissed that I can hear your every syllable? No, because you're confiding your actions/information with me because you like talking with me. So stop getting pissed at yourself and don't use Google if it bothers you.
Why do people make noise about non-problems?!? What exactly is the problem here???
@VaguelyRapt When I converse with someone I pay attention to more that that. Body language alone makes up for half the conversation. So no I am not going to get pissed off at that. However assuming a spontaneous evolutionary leap towards telepathy, I would get pissed if you tried to read my thoughts.
So let me get this straight: you're arguing that Google is reading your thoughts? Either you're playing stupid or you really are.
Whatever it is you do on Google is like whatever it is you do when you talk to a friend. If you expose body language and tonal nuances with a friend, you likewise share your interests with Google and how you type them. Besides, even if I am reading your thoughts, why would you stick around? If people don't like Google they should stop using Google.
This whole 'do not track me list' is like asking someone to listen and to respond during a conversation, but not to look at you. Either you want to have a discussion with somebody or not. Either you want to use Google services or not. Take it or leave it.
Why don't we all go to congress and demand that Apple make iPods with standard USB ports, because it's evil that they make us buy non-standard equipment. If you don't like the service, don't fucking use it!
@VaguelyRapt With the information google does collect on you, me and every other person on the web it is pretty close to reading your thoughts. Not the same but pretty close all the same. If I had the access to the information google has on you I could figure out who you are,where you live ,what you do and your vices. And since google never gets rid of data so I could probably go back as far as 10 years or so. And there is nothing wrong with this?
Oh absolutely. It's very wrong. STOP USING GOOGLE. Holy shit, it's like you're not reading what I'm writing.
Oh, and for the record, I'll bet you everything I own that Google knows less about me than my family and friends. A lot less. If I have a problem with something serious and private, I go consult with a friend. If you don't have friends, you consult with a search engine. Are you now telling me who people should consult with? Why can't they decide that on their own?
This discussion is deteriorating into a pile of nothing. You're sticking to arguing that Google is doing something wrong, which as far as I can tell is no different than anything any friend does. And you ignore the fact that Google is volunteering this, it is not imposing it on anyone. So what the fuck is the issue, will you tell me?
@VaguelyRapt I'm not stupid. Since I work in computer network security I am just a little more aware.
Believe me I am with you. You don't like what google does there are plenty of other search engines out there that don't collect data. I use ixquick myself. But what they are doing is wrong. Either they get rid of the data they do collect in a reasonable time frame, like six months or so. Or they provide measures to ensure the anonymity of it's users.
I agree with the creator. Google is gathering way too much information that should be private. Personally I think that Google is the greatest thing since sliced bread, just that we have got to prevent them from crossing the line of which it will get information that we would like private.

Once you realize that EVERYTHING you do electronically is tracked and permanently recorded by a single minute demographic everything else starts making sense.

I've followed Eric Schmidt since he was Chief technology Officer at Sun Microsystems. Schmidt's Google Ice Cream Truck animation is SUPER CREEPY because it has many elements of truth. Besides the data collection stuff, Schmidt's demeanor is exaggerated to an almost believable pinch. Wow, i'm am creeped out about it.
@ArticleTen You are missing the point. Congress and the administration is expecting Google to work with them. How do you think politicians control what is said about them on Google's search engine? It's strange that so many bad postings about the ruling class seem to disappear overnight.
oh yeah, CONGRESS'll save ya! WTF. has everyone gone bananas? the most prolific and consistent hooligans in the whole country, and you're running to them to protect you. a plan for idiots and children.
Google is a mass control group company funded by the CIA. They do some scary shit man.. more people should know. Too bad most the of world just brands people like this "CONSPIRACY THEORISTS!!!" Fucking retards don't deserve to know if they are gonna be this ignorant.
@pastorg22 - this is not about 'liberal' or 'conservative' programming or the red/blue dynamic which they sell over and over on tv. this is about control. this is a violation of the american constitution. this is everybody.
I have always liked Google, but Google do this very badly.

@Orgonobin I'm not totally in the dark, and I have no professional affiliation with Google or any of their subsudies (yet), but I do trust Google much more than any of their competition (especially Bing) in the same markets.
Do not judge a man on the content of his charicter, or the color of his skin , judge it based upon is what he surfs. if you do not believe google has algorythims designed in their code to harvest info on you how can you explan the "since you watched" catagory on youtube. Remember youtube is owned by google. If google wants net neurtrality or anything else it has to be bad.
This is retarded... Google respects your privacy, and the Wifi thing was an honest mistake... as a software developer myself, I can see how they could accidentally reuse some old code to save the effort of rewriting it, but forget to remove the payload gathering functionality. Did I mention that all data gathered by their WiFi payload software was already public to anyone with a wireless card anyways? It's not as big of a deal as this advertisement makes it look like.
@aliendude5300 - How do you know this? This is not random, accidental or even the random efforts of an individual to invade someone's privacy. It is a corporate attack to control human behavior out of intimidation and unseen control. Do you tell yourself it's okay to do this because you like the sound of it? Have you noticed, as of today, you need a Google account to sign in to an existing youtube account? Why? For what reason?
a society in which everything is recorded “will forever tether us to all our past actions, making it impossible, in practice, to escape them. without some form of forgetting, forgiving becomes a difficult undertaking.” The fact that the Internet never seems to forget is threatening, at an almost existential level, our ability to control our identities; to preserve the option of reinventing ourselves and starting anew; to overcome our checkered pasts. <- you'll have to google source if interested
It's now obvious that too many idiots can not tell the difference between public services and private services. Consumerwatchdog... I can't dumb this down any further, although it appears that may be necessary, but Google can not track you if you... well... don't use Google. I swear it's like you can't tell the difference between a private company and their services and public services that are provided by say, a government. Even your name implies CONSUMER, as in customer of a business...
Just another one of those 'non-profits' who hide behind a real corporation (who no doubt is competition to Google) doing the typical old white man with his white partner going into a neighborhood of minorities. Keep drumming up your agenda by causing controversy in your video - white vs black. What a joke.
The Bill of Rights reflects the concern of James Madison and other framers for protecting specific aspects of privacy, such as the privacy of beliefs (1st Amendment), privacy of the home against demands that it be used to house soldiers (3rd Amendment), privacy of the person and possessions as against unreasonable searches (4th Amendment), and the 5th Amendment's privilege against self-incrimination, which provides protection for the privacy of personal information.
Ridiculous. What idiot would look at this and not see it as the desperate propaganda campaign it is? Present your arguments in a reasonable way and people might listen. Do it like this and your about as credible as a forum troll.
A few questions. What are you going to stop them from tracking? Ip adresses? 90% of all consumer ip address are non static. Which makes them impossible to ban. Are you going to say they can not track user accounts? So I have to log in to google for them not to track me, which, by the way is already doable. But lets say that you make it so very pc is trackable, which would have to do, to make it non trackable, what is going to stop a non usa company from tracking then selling to usa companies?
I have a few questions. The do not track me list, what is the point of it? How are you going to enforce it? What is stopping the non usa websites from still tracking me, then selling the information to google? What do I tell google not to track, my ip address, in which 90% of all ip address are non static? If I was worried about my ip adress, then I would use a proxy. My user name? I can already do that, under settings. If ip's change, users can already stop them from using usernames, then what?
@GMLscripts Sorry, but you're absolutely wrong. Thinking that one of the most visited websites on the internet doesn't turn a profit is just ludicrous. Just look at the Forbes projections of their revenue.
I use the msconfig. command to prevent the "Goggle toolbar notifier" app. from loading everytime that Windows starts,... only to discover that the program has automatically changed my registry settings back again to allow itself access into my start programs. I'd call that invasion of my privacy! They hijack you in a sense!
The only way to break this hold is to uninstall the entire program
Great idea. Let's have Congress decide what kind of relationships Google is allowed to have with people who use its services voluntarily.
Because you're sheep, and you can't just NOT DEAL WITH GOOGLE IF YOU DON'T LIKE THEIR TERMS.
You need Congress to use government force to shut it down even for those of us who don't give a shit about what you decided to call "privacy", you fucking fascists.
What will happen to you when you die? Have you ever told lies, stolen, used God's name in vain, or looked at someone with lust? If yes, then you are a lying, theiving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart. When you die & stand before God you'll be guilty of breaking His law. The bible says you'll end up in Hell! But God sent God his Son Jesus to die for your sins, & He rose from the dead on the third day. If you'll believe the Gospel(Jesus died for your sins & was resurrected) you'll be saved!
That and the little thing that Google does where it hands over the identities of dissidents in China, who are then rounded up, tortured, imprisoned, beaten, and killed (with body party going into cosmetics and other things for export). Google's CEO should be tried for crimes against humanity and punished just like any Nazi prison guard.
at least they do it discreetly without intrusion Microsoft (IE) Explorer is ridiculous, restricts user from going places, using other browsers, locks out use of programs automatically requiring one to go back and repair settings which changed automatically. I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft was the one stirring the pot now.
@retiredlife Actually, no. To the extent that those services are extorted from and distorted to the use of the State, yes. It's like saying that a hammer existing is the same as a The State having a hammer to lend you.
I wish there was an alternative to google at this point - frankly it's very troubling that one company has a monopoly on search - and I was one of the earliest advocates of google! Not anymore.
Privacy was a key aspect of the US Constitution. Those who don't like privacy are hive-mind control freaks. China hates privacy, so does Iran and North Korea - can't have those pesky citizens living free!
The ignorance of Google apologists is astonishing. Great video.

@VaguelyRapt Well considering the direction of societal development what do you propose?
Try applying for a job sometime. Or even better yet if you get a job that offers a work at home program just turn it down. Wonder how much space you will need to store all the files you will need to do business. Maybe you should go out and do all of your purchases at the store too. And why even bother to check and see if what you need is in stock. Just waste that gas and productivity. Heck....Why not.

None of what you mentioned is personal. But I digress.
And if people didn't get it yet, these are some of the side effects of where society is headed. Take it or leave it. Got it?
Besides, all these stories are blown out of porportion. Nothing gets more attention than a controversy, eh?
VaguelyRapt 1 year ago
@VaguelyRapt Actually all of that is personal. Passwords, credit card numbers, financial info. Both with business and personal. Even your favorite brand and flavor of ice cream to take things to the extreme.
Things to get blown out of proportion on a regular basis. It's called the news. However the message of abuse, both potential and actual, definitely rings true.
To say stay off the web and conduct your daily life in this day in age is a statement that borders on ignorance.

@rvndmnmt
Actually, you're right. Get an offline job then.
This is like complaining that there isn't enough privacy in the world because everyone has a camera phone nowadays. This is just where we are going as a society. Say what you will, but these tradeoffs have been happening with every technology introduced and widely adopted. Government regulation doesn't apply to everything.
We need to understand that if we move our systems and services to the WORLD WIDE WEB, they become somewhat public.
VaguelyRapt 1 year ago
@VaguelyRapt Most people have "offline" jobs. Also, most people have cell phones, GPS, ect. At least in this country.
While things do change over time. However the basic premise of a certain degree of privacy should not. When Google is tracking your every keystroke on their website then that fine degree of privacy has most likely been breached. I think that in some ways laws have to be adapted to the situation. This is one of them.

Google tracks what they feel can help improve the service they are offering to you for free.
Don't like it? Don't use it! Why is this so hard to understand?!?!? If you talk to me, are you pissed that I can hear your every syllable? No, because you're confiding your actions/information with me because you like talking with me. So stop getting pissed at yourself and don't use Google if it bothers you.
Why do people make noise about non-problems?!? What exactly is the problem here???

@VaguelyRapt When I converse with someone I pay attention to more that that. Body language alone makes up for half the conversation. So no I am not going to get pissed off at that. However assuming a spontaneous evolutionary leap towards telepathy, I would get pissed if you tried to read my thoughts.
And that is the argument.

@rvndmnmt
So let me get this straight: you're arguing that Google is reading your thoughts? Either you're playing stupid or you really are.
Whatever it is you do on Google is like whatever it is you do when you talk to a friend. If you expose body language and tonal nuances with a friend, you likewise share your interests with Google and how you type them. Besides, even if I am reading your thoughts, why would you stick around? If people don't like Google they should stop using Google.
Fuck.
VaguelyRapt 1 year ago
This whole 'do not track me list' is like asking someone to listen and to respond during a conversation, but not to look at you. Either you want to have a discussion with somebody or not. Either you want to use Google services or not. Take it or leave it.
Why don't we all go to congress and demand that Apple make iPods with standard USB ports, because it's evil that they make us buy non-standard equipment. If you don't like the service, don't fucking use it!
VaguelyRapt 1 year ago
@VaguelyRapt With the information google does collect on you, me and every other person on the web it is pretty close to reading your thoughts. Not the same but pretty close all the same. If I had the access to the information google has on you I could figure out who you are,where you live ,what you do and your vices. And since google never gets rid of data so I could probably go back as far as 10 years or so. And there is nothing wrong with this?

@rvndmnmt
Oh absolutely. It's very wrong. STOP USING GOOGLE. Holy shit, it's like you're not reading what I'm writing.
Oh, and for the record, I'll bet you everything I own that Google knows less about me than my family and friends. A lot less. If I have a problem with something serious and private, I go consult with a friend. If you don't have friends, you consult with a search engine. Are you now telling me who people should consult with? Why can't they decide that on their own?

This discussion is deteriorating into a pile of nothing. You're sticking to arguing that Google is doing something wrong, which as far as I can tell is no different than anything any friend does.

Believe me I am with you. You don't like what google does there are plenty of other search engines out there that don't collect data. I use ixquick myself. But what they are doing is wrong. Either they get rid of the data they do collect in a reasonable time frame, like six months or so. Or they provide measures to ensure the anonymity of it's users.

But lets say that you make it so very pc is trackable, which would have to do, to make it non trackable, what is going to stop a non usa company from tracking then selling to usa companies?
