Trevor, Yes, As I stated in the previous email: "I can even appreciate that this sharing of personal information happens within Google controlled websites...etc."
I did not claim Google was selling "this" data. What Google is doing is forcing the users to accept a new privacy policy. This is a bad thing because the new policy actually violates the user's privacy. The new policy allows Google to use your email to "help" with search results. No thank you, I want to opt out of this.... Chris... On Thu, Feb 2, 2012 at 2:08 AM, Trevor Benedict <mre...@gmail.com> wrote: > Google is not sharing data with other sites.
