If I continue to demand free services then I don't really have an issue with something as benign as sharing my browsing or shopping trends.
But what about Windows 10 scanning the contents of your local disk and Gmail keeping copies of all your emails? We're talking about practices that go way beyond browsing history

That's not done, though. Not sure where you're getting your information, but clickbait news stories don't count.
http://www.theguardian.com/technology/askjack/2013/aug/15/gmail-google-email-privacy

http://money.cnn.com/2015/08/17/technology/windows-10-privacy/index.html

"Windows 10 can scan your local disk and disable pirated software."

You're telling me my operating system can detect software on the hard disk it's running off of?

No shit, man. And it absolutely should disable pirated software, that poses a security risk to the user and is also illegal.
Its also an invasion of privacy and nice job dodging the Gmail thing.

Read my post.

It's not at all an invasion of privacy. Use open source options if you don't want that type of system regulation on your computer.

See you Cowgirl,
Someday, somewhere
I don't care, if Google wants to know when I browse reddit then sure. It really doesn't effect me it's not like they're stealing my money.
do you have a gmail?
Multiple
are you aware all your emails are stored by Google and can be retrieved and read at any time by the NSA and other government organizations right?
Okay it's not like I'm doing anything illegal, emails can be read by anyone. In florida you can request the state to release a complete record of someones emails to the public.
So you'd be okay if someone opened your mailbox and started opening everything and reading it?
All of my emails I literally use for school. If they want to see which classes I'm taking then I don't care.
The contents don't really matter. Its still an invasion of privacy and if you're okay with it that just speaks to how fucked we truly are.
On the internet privacy does not exist, it never has. I understand this but clearly you just learned about it. Everything you do on the internet is recorded by your ISP. It's like buying a phone contract and being baffled when you learn that they track your calls, messages, and location.

You do, but I have absolutely no use for it.

Because, uh, I'm not a criminal.



    First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
    Because I was not a Socialist.

    Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Also, I'm running 10 with unlicensed software so I doubt the veracity of that claim.

Oh, so because you don't believe in it means it should be irrelevant for everyone else.

That's probably one of the most retarded things I've ever heard. Just so happens being retarded is a horrible trait, too.

Lol.

The only "definition" of a right to privacy in the United States judicial system is the 4th Amendment - which does not apply to data mining because that data does not belong to you - it belongs to the ISP's that provide you access.

If you are that afraid that you are being violated, the Internet is not a necessity. You chose to use it, you pay for access. What you do is not entitled to any sort of protection.

You demand interconnected services, fast and catered shopping and search results, and a highly personalized and dynamic experience, while expecting to retain control over that information. It's a fantasy. In order to provide these services, companies need databases, and those databases are populated with basic identity information and tons of metadata about users.

Contents of my local disk and email do not belong to anyone. And you know it might also be that the 4th amendment was made when there wasn't even electricity and desperately needs to be updated.

I'm sorry, but those files you download? The email provider?

All of that data does not belong to you. You aren't hosting it, the ISP is.

The delusion that it is under the 4th Amendment is laughable. Petition SCOTUS if you want it protected, otherwise you have no "right to privacy" on the Internet.

Did we really hit Godwin's law only two pages in?

I'm disappointed in you all. I was hoping 4 or 5 pages in we'd hit it.

So in other words, you're a corporate shill. But no matter how you twist it, it's still an invasion of privacy.

You could literally apply the "you pay for it but it's not yours" to every item you purchase in existence. It's a poor excuse to invade into private information.

Presumably, your emails are the property and responsibility of Google, but the conditions you agree to give you tacit and explicit, legal ownership over then.

Nobody is stealing your emails or reading them. Your operating system absolutely needs to be able to detect programs and data on your local disk to function, and you absolutely don't have a right to use pirated software.

As for my onions on it all

Well unrelated to Google, I wish the NSA didn't snoop into so much stuff under the auspices of "stopping terrorism" even though there hasn't been a single documented case of them actually preventing any attacks due to what they're doing.

If there is one thing from Republican's I can support, it's their hate for how big the NSA is.

I don't need any of those things which is why I don't use any of those things.
You don't use free gmail, social media, forums, YouTube, shopping services, or search engines? Then what's all the bitching about?

The only people who care about privacy are

2. Scared children.

It has everything to do with privacy. If you actually use some critical thinking, you'll know why.

The people who care about privacy are those who do not want the world to delve into every aspect of their lives. Information is power, and in the wrong hands is dangerous. The more someone knows about me, the more danger it means for me.

It's not "private information" because you are not hosting the data. You are paying for the access, and for the ISP, to host everything you do. They host the data, they hold it's contents. As I said, if you don't like how those rules are you are always welcome to petition the Supreme Court to change the 4th Amendment:

Quote
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures

None of which covers the data ISP's have control over.
