You're kidding--right? I imagine the NSA has complete control over Google's head honchos? ("Give me the data, or we will audit every stock trade, every dime that you put into a bank? Every aspect of your private life will be scrutinized, if you don't go along with our polite requests?"). Hell--I wouldn't be surprised if the NSA has a pipeline directly attached to Google servers?

In my world, SPAM is any ad, including targeted ads? I actually miss the phalus enlargement ads?

They don't sell your information to Investigators(government, private, etc.), I imagine they give it away, if their lives, money will be affected?

I do feel their end goal is to sell you products, and services, but just the amount of information they have on us is staggering? Why do I feel they can predict the future? I wouldn't be surprised if they know right now who will become the final two, or three presidential candidates?

I have no evidence for these outlandish claims. I'm just a guy who doesn't believe in what these companies are telling us? Conspiracy theory nut--maybe I am? Or, maybe I watched Three Days of the Condor too many times? I just think they do a lot with that data? I think the government does a lot with that data?

I'm in no mood for a debate, I need to remove seven rivets in order to change my ball joints(horrid manufacturing/engineering), and the neighbors don't like noise. Need to complete the job before 7:00 p.m., or I might get a visit from the Blue boys? Love my kind neighbors?
