Google Is Facebook Is AOL: What Happens When a Good Google Goes Bad
Two weeks ago, Google announced that they were integrating Google+, their brand new social network, with Google search results , calling the new feature "Search, Plus Your World". The resulting change to Google search results has frustrated some, angered others, and prompted a new conversation about anti-competitive practices and antitrust laws in relation to Google. Yesterday, Google made sweeping changes to their privacy policy that caused a similar stir .
La trappe Google commencerait-elle à doucement mais sûrement se refermer sur ses utilisateurs, mettant du plomb dans l’aile à son fameux slogan « Don’t be evil » ? Deux récents changements le laissent en effet à penser. Tout d’abord une modification en profondeur de l’affichage des résultats du moteur de recherche au profit de son propre réseau social Google+ et au détriment de la neutralité et des petits camarades Facebook, Twitter & Co (qui ont réagit comme il se doit ). Et puis donc, voir ci-dessous, cette toute nouvelle mise à jour de sa politique de confidentialité qui vous impose le regroupement de toutes les données personnelles de vos différents comptes Google (Gmail, YouTube, Calendar, Recherche…).

Confessions of a Google junkie (or, Privacy? What privacy?) | ZDNet
I, like you Chris, love Google & integrate it into my life (I do have an iPhone however, don't tell Google that!). Google and Facebook collect a butt load of information on a second by second basis.. and I can't help but to think: "What are doing.. or what are they GOING to be doing with that data?!" You put up some good examples of how they can use that data in the very near future.. this guy orders pizza every Friday, if I'm Google, I want to serve the pizza shops who have the highest bids to you on Fridays.. right? I go to Best Buy and get a GoPro camera. A week later, I return the camera. Best Buy has my credit card (or name, or rewards zone card, or whatever..) linked to my Facebook account.@Dr_Zinj It's much worse than that if you have read SOPA, PIPA, ACTA, and all the other "minor" initiatives that the government has lined up for us under the guise of "copyright protection." You won't be worried about some rogue Google employee reading your crap, or some computer generated heuristics program that generates targeted adds (OMG, the Target ad thought/knows I like socks! - /wrists) when the government will have 100% access to your personal data to do with as it pleases. The fact is that no matter what you do, you are going to be tracked and your personal data will be up for grabs.

Google Streamlines Privacy Policy To Integrate Its Products | Epicenter | Wired.com
On Tuesday, Google announced that it would be streamlining the bulk of its products’ privacy policies into a single document, effective March 1. Under the banner “One policy, one Google experience,” the company’s new Policies site says that it is “getting rid of over 60 different privacy policies across Google and replacing them with one that’s a lot shorter and easier to read.” On the Official Google Blog, a post by Alma Whitten, Google’s Director of Privacy, explains how this new privacy policy will affect users: “Our new Privacy Policy makes clear that, if you’re signed in, we may combine information you’ve provided from one service with information from other services,” Whitten writes [emphasis mine]. “In short, we’ll treat you as a single user across all our products, which will mean a simpler, more intuitive Google experience.” The new, integrated privacy policy solves two practical problems for Google.

Google tracks consumers across products, users can’t opt out - The Washington Post
Google has already been collecting some of this information. But for the first time, it is combining data across its Web sites to stitch together a fuller portrait of users. Consumers won’t be able to opt out of the changes, which take effect March 1. And experts say the policy shift will invite greater scrutiny from federal regulators of the company’s privacy and competitive practices. The move will help Google better tailor its ads to people’s tastes.
