- You're over simplifying. It's not JUST about what's passed on to third parties. In many instances, Google IS the third party and records information between two other parties. If I use an Android device to look at something on the Internet, even if I never use Google search and type the url directly, Google will still record the information....even if that information is highly sensitive in nature.01-30-18 07:25 PMLike 0

Also, what is the destruction plan for that data? You indicated you don't want the restaurant down the the street to know the size of your right nut...but what happens when Google makes a tactile error and goes BK? Assets will be sold to the highest bidder, and their policies may be distinctly different than the current policies. Just because you haven't been harmed yet, doesn't mean you won't be in the future.
And it's different than a bank which is FDIC insured and can restore you to your original financial condition in the case of a loss.
With information, that damage cannot be undone. Once a reputation has been damaged, there is no repair.
You obviously trust Google. That's your decision. You've read the TOS and seem comfortable with them. I support your right to do that.
I'm not a smoker, but I support people's right to smoke. But I also feel that if Big Tobacco knows their product is harmful then Big Tobacco should disclose that to people so they can make an informed decision.....and not obscured in some long lengthy document, but in a simple fashion so people get it. If people still decide to smoke then I'm cool with that.
What Google doesn't tell you in their TOS are the RISKS of using their services. There are many.01-30-18 07:48 PMLike 0 -

I could sit around worried about Google going bankrupt in 20 years, but I'd rather use their extensive services during that time instead. If GMail is going to be my eventual undoing, I'll have a couple billion people joining me in hell too.01-30-18 07:55 PMLike 0 - Using Google is more comparable to driving a car than smoking. The former involves significant quid pro quo.

Beyond that, our inability to maintain privacy about everything from our purchasing habits to career plans to romantic partners ton political views may degrade our sense of self as individuals.
I love technology, and am optimistic about our future, but there are significant repercussions that may result from indiscriminate use of technology without proper public debate and political decision-making about how to protect our rights as individuals and the integrity of our society.
To say that Google following the rules of its TOS regarding privacy is sufficient to protect us is like saying that the Boards of Directors of financial companies following their risk management rules in 2003-7 was sufficient to protect the integrity of our financial system.
It is dangerous to underestimated the magnitude of risks we haven't encountered before,

The risks are not that one person's information will be used for a cyber crime. The risk is that the use of big data combined with machine learning, high speed automation and AI will make it pretty simple to influence people's opinions and choices by manipulating the timing and substance of the information they receive.

This is turning into a meta-analysis of the electronic age and privacy. That's a bit beyond scope for me (at 10pm). Lol.01-30-18 08:53 PMLike 0 -

Who would return their phone to the store after reading that?

Unless you don't use the Internet, only pay with cash, drive a 25 year old vehicle or use public transportation exclusively and wear sunglasses with a hat everywhere in public, you're rearranging deck chairs on your perceived Titanic.kbz1960 likes this.02-02-18 05:31 AMLike 1

Mistakes can happen, I suppose. I could get hit by a truck when driving and be dead too. What's worse?

Posted with my trusty Z1002-02-18 08:54 AMLike 0 - Btw: rooting a BB10 device - as a Q10 - is afaik - impossible...
The only thing, i was wondering about:
Last, i installed an app from Playstore.
Something with sounds etc. Röhrich / Werner or something like that.
I tried to download / save some of these mp3.
What i saw, was very impressive....
This app was going down into the device veeeeeeeeeery deep...
Remarcable, that you can't have access to those folders/files - but this app could....
I wish, i had the source of this app...
Could be an exiting lesson, for experimetal use....02-02-18 11:07 AMLike 0
