Why has Google become so invasive of peoples internet activities and personal life ( well even more invasive than they were)

1) andriod phones automatically uploading pictures ive taken onto a google account i created a year or so ago and never used.......its killing my data usage on my phone, and also there are some pictures i've taken that i reeeeeallly don't wan't uploaded onto the internet for others to see, I don't remember asking them to do this

2) youtube, "you are about to make a comment on a video we will upload this comment onto your google acount" NOooooooo I don't wan't any of my mates knowing about my late night weird youtube video transitions of boredom.

So i thought id delete my google account, but in order to do that I need to delete everything associated with it including my andriod account which i have purchased things on, I'm guessing i loose out on re downloading items bought onto a new device if i do that

1.) goto settings, under account, select google, select google+, goto instant upload and turn it off.

2.) goto your youtube settings via web browser, account settings, sharing/privacy, and set your settings there.

Google is no more invasive than Apple or MS.

but you get a new phone and keep having to do this, because i have done all that before....They have no right to do it, if i didn't have a capped contract that could run me up a massive bill uploaded things i dont want uploading, it doesnt even ask me
