googles dark side - google conspiracy

Twitter is a social media source, of which I have no real particular interest in. However, overthe course of the last few months I have used this site to upload information relevant to my field of study; communication. By far, my favorite, or at least most relevant tweet is the one about the dark side of Google. This short video clip introduces some ideas about privacy that, as a socially responsible individual, should concern you. Google is no doubt the leader in todays online search activity and even more but has anyone asked themselves how is it that Google is so good and still improving? Google actually collects information from each of it users. Whether its just the words you type into their search engine or frequent quarry results Google collects this information and files it away accorsding to the IP address. Furthermore, Google will actually scan incoming and outgoing emails from the Gmail feature that is offered in order to pinpoint precise advertising methods and materials relevant to each individual user. What does this mean for individual privacy? Well, privacy is not a concept that seems to interest Google. The extent to which our personal information is sold, traded, stolen, or just plain viewed without our knowledge or permission is unknown, but the thought is worrisome.
