Google Syeps Too Far - March 1st Youtube Changes Much Bigger Than Thought! - Please Make Viral!
Google announced a plan Tuesday to link user data across its email, video, social-networking and other services that it says will create a "beautifully simple and intuitive" user experience. But critics raised privacy concerns like those that helped kill the search giant's Buzz social networking service.
The changes, which take effect March 1, will remove some of the legal hurdles Google Inc. faces in trying to link information across services from Gmail to YouTube to the Google Plus social network that replaced Buzz.
More than 70 different company policies are being streamlined into one main privacy policy and about a dozen others. Separate policies will continue to govern products including Google's Chrome Web browser and its Wallet service for electronic payments.
The company said the new system will give users more relevant search results and information, while helping advertisers find customers - especially on mobile devices.
For example, if you spend an hour on Google searching the Web for skateboards, the next time you log into YouTube, you might get recommendations for videos featuring Tony Hawk, along with ads for his merchandise and the nearest place to buy them.
"If you're signed into Google, we can do things like suggest search queries - or tailor your search results - based on the interests you've expressed in Google (Plus), Gmail and YouTube," the company says on a new overview page for its privacy policies. "We'll better understand (what) you're searching for and get you those results faster."
The changes follow the shutdown of Buzz last month. After its introduction less than two years ago, the social networking tool was ridiculed for exposing users' most-emailed contacts to other participants by default, inadvertently revealing some users' ongoing contact with ex-spouses and competitors.
Google has since made Plus the focal point of its challenge to Facebook's social network. In the first seven months since its debut, Plus has attracted more than 90 million users, according to Google. To promote Plus, Google recently began including recommendations about people and companies with Plus accounts in its search results. That change has provoked an outcry from critics who say Google is abusing its dominance in Internet search to drive more traffic to its own services.
Google and the Federal Trade Commission reached a settlement last year that forbids Google from misrepresenting how it uses personal information and from sharing an individual's data without prior approval. Google also agreed to biennial privacy audits for the next two decades.
Google said it talked to regulators about the upcoming privacy changes, which it will apply worldwide. An FTC spokeswoman declined to comment on the changes or say whether the agency was consulted.
Some critics saw Google as trying to beat regulators to the punch by setting a precedent before the FTC unveils its own framework for protecting online privacy.
Jeff Chester, executive director of the privacy group Center for Digital Democracy, said Google hopes "that by creating a one-stop shop for privacy policy it will deflect regulatory action."
Google, Facebook and other popular Internet services all want to learn as much as possible about their users so they can sell more advertising at higher rates to marketers looking to target people interested in specific products, such as golf clubs or skinny jeans.
Google says users who opt to see personalized ads are 37 per cent more likely to respond to an ad than people who opt out of targeting.
The changes follow a rare letdown in revenue growth at Google's lucrative advertising network. Google's fourth-quarter earnings report last week showed the company's average revenue per click fell 8 per cent from the previous year, despite robust growth in online shopping at the holidays.
Google shares, which have fallen 9 per cent since the report, closed Tuesday at $580.93, down $4.59 for the day.
Ryan Calo, director for privacy at the Stanford Center for Internet and Society, said Google is trying to make its policy privacy transparent instead of bogging users down with pages of legalese; the new privacy policies run about 10,000 words, down from 68,000.
But he said the company must ensure that the ways it uses data help users without revealing sensitive information.
"If it creeps people out, then they need to be aware of that," he said.

TheAnonPress Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/TheAnon...
Brothers and Sisters.
We are Anonymous
Contrary to what you may believe. life as you know it is a lie.
your society is a cage, your jobs are voluntary slavery, the television you watch is designed to keep you incapable of critical thought and the very freedom and democracy your leaders claim to stand for is nothing more than an illusion.
Under the guise of morality your government sells weapons to the very countries that they claim to protect you from ,lining their pockets with the spoils of war, billions made by the death of millions.
They continue to invest in a flawed system that supports a dying economy, creating poverty and crime. They create laws and legislations that contradict our constitution and take away our right to be a free-thinking member of the human race, and you are too blinded by the culture they have created for you to take any real notice or make any real change.
Anonymous is not blind, anonymous has seen everything. For years we have been a force for good on this battlefield fighting for our basic rights as the dominant species of this planet, protesting in peace, spreading the truth, a bloodless conflict.
But now it appears that the day we have been waiting for is at last upon us and the time to act is now!
The western government talks of a New World Order, they build there FEMA concentration camps ready to detain thousands of Americans without trial for speaking out against corruption
They move to censor the Internet ;the one place freedom of speech truly exists ,taking away our right to learn.
They weaken our democracy everyday ,tightening their grip until they have complete control, and these actions are confirming the fears of the Zionist‚ enemy‚ forcing there hands and bringing us ever closer to nuclear extinction.
And yet you occupy public places in peaceful protests, while others even choose to do nothing.
Doing nothing in this crucial year is dangerous. If the recent defeat of SOPA at the hands of anonymous has taught us anything its that ,yes it is time for a new world order ,but it is a new world order of the people not the government. Gone are the times you can sit and watch from the side-lines, gone are the times you could live in ignorance, now is the time to fight!
We have the tools to build a whole new system where corruption will be wiped clean, leaders will have the best interests of the people and you the west will have your 1st taste of true freedom.
It is not to late to act but time is short. Living behind closed eyes is not an option anymore because they will draw 1st blood. They do not have the capability to fight real people-power.
We must unite
and we must take action.
There will be a time and a place where every anonymous will be called upon to destroy this cancer that exists in our leadership , and when that day comes; we will show them that we are truly legion.
If you cannot fight; use your critical thought, this is what they desperately want to take from you, do not let them. Do not except conventional thought, question everything and most importantly ;
spread!
this!
message!!!
We have a genuine chance of change but every free man,woman and child must stand united and declare "I am a human being. And you cannot take my right to be free!"
And to those who would silence our voices
Anonymous knows who and what you are.
Anonymous has always known,
Anonymous is not so easily brainwashed by television and celebrities and we will be there when you fall.
When you are finally exposed for the monsters you really are ,we will be there.
When the people you tried to control storm your buildings and drag their dictators through the streets , we will be there.
When generations of secret scheming, planning and conspiring are burnt to ash and buried ,we will be there.
When you realise you have failed, we will be there.
You are no match for us.
You never were.
there are more of us than you know.
there are more of us than anyone knows.
and everyday our numbers grow stronger.
We are anonymous.
We are legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
Expect us.
