Forums - General - Why is Google so invasive???

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

there must be some setting where you can turn those things off, i have andriod and it doesnt do that with me, atleast i think

"and also there are some pictures i've taken that i reeeeeallly don't wan't uploaded onto the internet for others to see" stop taking pictures of your dick, problem solved



not to mention the auto inlog in youtube when I login into my gmail... what's up with that? I want to check my mail.. not watch youtube videos

How does checking you email be affected by auto logging you into youtube. I love that feature. The other stuff no.

I'm sure ive tried turning it off before, but ive had a new phone since and it's doing it again



Around the Network

I have a youtube account, and for some reason its always logged into as my googlmail one now



What about me searching for "cougar vs lion fight" on Youtube...and then for weeks seeing ads for cougars (older women) all over the place where they run Google ad exchange networks?

Whats up with that Google? Need help with your contextual targeting of ads?



Anyway? I can delete my google+ account without having to delete everything else??



It does bother me that they are so insistent towards trying to make me use my real name for my YouTube account. They ask me why like i have something to hide...

That happens to me all the time!

Also, Google/YouTube want to get rid of my ridiculous username. Um, no. I'm keepin' that shiz. (Just read Mr Khan's post. That's exactly what I'm talking about.)
