Google plans comprehensive personal databases

[Lord Winter]

Yeah, but only one is planning to know everything about my life and tell me how to run it. I can see searching for various rifles to purchase and get directed to some anti-gun group because google thinks it's good for me.

It's not telling you how to run it thou. This sounds like an optional feature no different then the meatporical sales person remembering what you've bought in the past and making suggestions about what to buy next.

Is every one here so parinoid that they think that google's perpose is to gather data on you? For those who think so my question is why? Why would google want to or bother to go through all this trouble and then what would they do once they have all this data?

And google will hand over records if it has too. Heck, it had to be forced to only keep records for two years.

Thissays differently.

He said Google, at its own initiative, had decided in March to limit the time it kept engine search information to between 18 and 24 months. The company previously had no set time limit.
