Google makes its money in large part by gathering as much data on users as it can, and then leveraging that data to sell its users to advertisers. Their income trumps your mere privacy, you see.

you don't have to use google or its services you can definetly survive. Man has survived thousands of years without the use of google, and you can use something else.

Or you can use their services because you think they're the best, and the pros outweighs the cons.

Plus, they read your email to see what kind of advertising to send to you. I realize its probably just botz, but it still creeps me out.

I didn't ask to use its services, my data usage was unusually high on my new phone, to find out it had uploaded all pictures and videos from new phone to google+

What's so wrong about Google displaying relevant ads?

Google hate bandwagon is getting more crowded.
