Google is not sharing data with other sites. Google has never sold any of your data to a 3rd party. They don't need too. What they are doing is linking Youtube, and a few other things THEY OWN together.

It's just not the case. - Trevor On Wed, Feb 1, 2012 at 7:05 PM, Chris Penn <cantorm...@gmail.com> wrote: > I think you guys are missing the point.
