Google, Facebook And Your Privacy

We’re talking about Google and Facebook and your privacy. The rules are changing. They say it’s great for you – but is it?

In this Sept. 25, 2007 file picture a visitor passes an exhibition stand of Google company in Duesseldorf, western Germany. German prosecutors have launched an investigation of Google Inc. in connection with a privacy breach that involved it recording fragments of people's online activities through unsecured Wi-Fi networks. (AP)

You’d better believe Google tracks you. Facebook tracks you. To better serve, they say. To better sell ads, we know. But right now the tracking and slicing and dicing and x-raying of your online life – our lives, in so many ways these days – is moving to a whole new level.

Google’s new privacy policy – which you can accept, or decline and be banished – sews together all your info across every Google property – Gmail, YouTube, Android, on and on – and tracks it all. Facebook’s Timeline tracks you from birth.

Privacy? Well, what’s that?

This hour, On Point: Google, Facebook, and privacy now.

Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center and teaches Information Privacy Law at Georgetown University Law Center.

From Tom’s Reading List

Wired “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.””

CBS News “Facebook chief executive officer Mark Zuckerberg faces new challenges as his company prepares to file for its initial public offering this week. If the tagline for the film “The Social Network” was “You don’t get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies,” the sequel’s might be “You don’t get to 10 billion valuation without risking 800 million friends.”"

I’ve added blockers in my web browser to get rid of Google’s junk. I just want the old Google, the one that was clean, without all the added bugs (or am I supposed to call them features?).
- JustSayin
  
  Twice now I have been presented with welcome to Google Chrome after installing or updating some software that has nothing to do with Google. As I delete the clandestinely installed Google Chrome, I’m asked why I’m removing it.
  
  It’s like having a sofa delivered and finding out a “free” video camera has been installed in the room…. Then the installer asks why wouldn’t I want that free camera, because it will allow the people who watch me decide what kind of furniture is best for my lifestyle.
  - Hidan
    
    I used “Stop Script” and place Chrome on the block list. I had a better program but it was a pain cause i had to manually unblock each website. Since Id been using it I can see all the stuff a website runs without our knowledge.
    
    Take for example onpoint of course some are a given
    
    -disque
    -google ad service(if using google search)
    -scorecard research
    -quantserve
    -chartbeat
    -youtube
    -facebook.net

      I block almost everything, but applications hidden in the install packages is a big problem. Even now Discus is warning me that I have too much blocking.

First off, the new FACEBOOK timeline looks to me like the old MYSPACE which totally sucked. The navigation is not fun and the photos are much too big. I’ll be using FACEBOOK much less.

As for Google. This new “privacy” policy is a joke. We are witnessing the complete commercialization of the entire internet. Information is now a mere commodity to help cluster the society into desires and interests.

We will pay for it not in cash but by sacrificing our independence from the corporations which buy the data…And non of us shall escape our old conversations, old emails or online history..EVER.

Why is Google sending me ads for owl pellets?
What scares me about the personal information store is, it never goes away. For example, say you don’t like your Facebook timeline, and delete your account. What is to stop someone from recreating an account with your name and birth date? Will your old timeline appear in the recreated account? As people have found out with email, delete doesn’t mean gone forever. Once you eat at the tree of knowledge, you will learn of your nakedness.I don’t worry about business exploiting my information near as much as I worry about some future fascist regime deciding they must reeducate me because of comments in my Disqus profile. Not possible, in the USA? Look at the Patriot Act, with laws like it today; well my friend, I will see you in reeducation camp, maybe I can be the gardener.
- JustSayin
  
  Not only does it never go away, but it’s usually about forty percent wrong. Corporate databases cross linked, and merged with multiple users, and erroneous data all assigned to each by software applications as a basis of sales and perhaps prosecution.

  EXACTLY! Another article said a British tourist was sent back to London recently when upon landing, customs “presented” him with his own facebook message saying “ready for fun – heading over to blow America up…”. While meant in the context of “America is THE bomb”, customs said see ya…
  
  That’s just the tip as you mentioned. Patriot act and NDAA now mean they will quietly start reviewing each of us so that a greater profile can be built. I compare it to our credit report. Soon maybe we can pay to have a “patriotism score” sent to us. Sad

The pre-information for this show has me wondering, what is is show about?

Links to Amazon? Somebodies sales might increase.

A professor‘s link to a poorly arrange page. Guess?

Facebook and Google ads that only present what they want us to think of as benefits to their product.

…

Honestly the www is growing faster then even the creators are aware of, or seem to be aware of. The mathematicians must be quite amused.

…

Lawyers are being hired to draw up contracts that limit the scope and range of some products and to legalize other products that normally one wouldn‘t be caught dead with in public places.

…

Actors, writers, producers, singers, etc are crying that their rights are being violated because they can‘t milk every cent out of their art. Instead of nickel and dime‘ing the consumer to death they need to reconsider their distribution contracts and policies. The need to start making their content available and the market will start leading them to answers. Sponsors need to be pressured to catch up with the times. Obviously when something airs in one country and it is spreading like wild fire on the web the producer is missing the point and should be airing to the world by all available means. They are failing to keep up with demand. Who spilt their milk? Don‘t punish the consumer, your bread and butter. Figure out how to make them happy first. The pennies will come once the system is in place.

…

Privacy policies are showing us a new awareness in missing etiquette and need for respect in social forms. People and products are trying to be perfect in a world of flaws.

It is because perfectionism has been brainwasher into so many that authentic human beings are being driven crazy. Uniqueness is great, but that thought seems to be lost in today‘s modern world. Flaws are private. Mr and Ms Ordinary Joe are so boring that privacy affects them minutely. It is just understood and accepted that certain private information like addresses are just that, private.

..

In conclusion just exactly what will this show be about?

I used to think Facebook was just amazing. It helped me reconnect with folks I hadn’t seen in over twenty years. These are people I would likely never have seen or heard from again. I started to hear people say they were off of Facebook, and it seemed strange to me. Now, FB changes it’s format all the time and I’m beginning to tire of it. I’m not interested in trying to keep up with the constant evolution of a once useful product. Now you begin to factor in the ugly and weird privacy nonsense… I think about bailing, but it sounds daunting. I’m not a tech guy, and the explanations I hear for disconnecting are pretty involved and complicated.

My ultimate conclusion is that if we ever really had privacy, we certainly don’t anymore. If someone wants to know something about my small, boring life or fiddle and diddle with my savings account I’m fairly powerless. Meanwhile, a robot camera hanging from a lightpost can convict me of a crime and mail me a ticket and fine me.

The best defense may be to be uninteresting, and that isn’t all that comforting.

I think the best uses of social media are exemplified by one determined local politician who actually had a surrogate going after me to accept his friend request. After about a year, I acceded. Now I see the huge possibilities. If there is a bomb threat downtown, here is a vehicle for spreading the word. Not an alarm, but “word.” If his friend base isn’t wide enough for the particular purpose, no matter, a friend of a friend can forward things. Mostly, the “home” page brings things that can be ignored, but that is sort of the price you pay for the right to be part of the flow. I notice plenty of people apparently dis-including me from their flow, using customized circulation, and I wonder when I see a page with say 1,486 friends, whether they are all sending to and being sent to. So much is in code. ”Lack of passion is fatal.” ”Swim, swim, swim.” ”Best.Day.Ever.” The rule for that cohort seems to be never ask, not in messages, not in comments. If you do comment, you might be read, maybe even queried, but then deleted. And is that like “message received; that’s mine”? Or is it message rejected. Oh, my ego muscles ache. ”Friends” — mine, anyway — don’t read minds, so if there isn’t really the give-and-take, there is a lot of coded talk and misunderstanding. I think we’re really just trying to hear each other’s voices, tone. Others just want a vehicle for trying to get me to do work for them or something like that; meanwhile the chirp, chirp, chirp, I’m here, I’m here, I’m here. Fine.

Older people seem to have opted out of Facebook. I search for people I knew long ago, and they don’t exist. The people I’d like to connect with as an adult who I last saw through the eyes of a very young woman — they didn’t even die, apparently, just faded away. So that’s very disappointing. If I were buying Facebook stock today, I’d consider the MySpace phenomenon and wonder what space age tools come next. Facebook doesn’t tell you when someone’s pulled the plug on you, and I dreamed last night that a woman was sitting in my apartment watching me work, sitting behind me. When I turned, she got up and left. I looked out the window, and she was with a blond teenage boy who looked strung out on drugs, from his eyes, and I saw they were a team. They had walked in without my knowing it (visited my site), and so I picked up the phone, the landline, and it was disconnected. Apparently that was all they had done (for the moment), so I went next door to let my neighbors know, and use their phone. The upshot is I won’t post more photos of me soon. I consider it divine intervention that my computer won’t let me. Interesting there was a bomb scare just where I was planning to go that week, just exactly when I planned to go. Who knew that and when did they know it? I note that a Joe McGinnis is here for a year (just as he was in Alaska next door to the Palins), daily sitting in on court, then hanging out at the little restaurant across the street. Oh, Palin tell-all book, you are no match for the permutations of justice in my corner of reality. Actually, he is facing the boringest judge in the state. No wonder he says he is discontinuing his blog. Bore them to death is my solution on the privacy front. Lie, too.

READ the Terms of Service, and Privacy Policy?
   How can anyone agree to contracts with hundreds of companies, that aren’t even listed in the agreement?
  If you don’t read, and UNDERSTAND the terms, why agree to them?
  It the deceptive practice of ‘agreeing to the contracts of our affiliates, associates, or other unlisted entities’, doesn’t bother you, WHY NOT? You have NO idea of who’s contract you are agreeing to, and NO idea of what you agree to, IN that contract!

I don’t mind companies offering me something they claim will make my life/customer experience better. But when they try to shove it down my throat without giving me a real choice, it makes me both resentful and automatically suspicious of their motives.

The problem I have with Facebook purports to be a social network but in fact it’s something else entirely. It’s a huge corporate engine that consumes privacy and creates a revenue stream for businesses. It feeds on the ego-driven need for people to “connect” with one other and fleeces them while they’re distracted and preoccupied exchanging trivial information. We seem to willing to trade our privacy very cheaply, and expose every detail of our lives without realizing, or apparently caring, whose looking. I’ll never enter into this arrangement, and I’m glad to see that others are getting out.

We don’t need any more divas and masters of the universe drive everywhere and on their Iphones to pick up enhancements to their lifestyle,and parking in driveways of little shops so no one else can back out. When you try to get their attention while they are on the i phone they just smile and twist away, totally ignoring you pointing with you cane and showing them that you can’t get out. Since they just smile and get back to their lifestyle enhancement, you are left there to wait on them, if they rotate in your direction and notice you propped with cane on your car because you are ‘waiting’ on them to be less oblivious. All these gadgets are just going to make them look down on us and drive over us, and make us wait for them because ‘they will be just a second. And you don’t really have a life like a Mermaid., do you. After all, I beautify the Tidewater. I am a Southern Belle. Aren’t I sweet and diverting?”

Privacy is a myth. As soon as you get a Social Security card, your privacy is dead. What people should worry about more is the security of sensitive data. Identity theft is a much larger problem than someone knowing what I eat, where I go, etc. The continual hacking of financial databases and seeing millions of users data captured and released to nefarious parties has a much more dire outcome. We all want a digital savant and servant and you can’t get that without giving it data to employ artificial intelligence that aids our lives.

Just wondering if you sign off of Google services can you request all of your data erased from their system. We do this with unwanted solicitations through the mail and phone…do we own the info about us that Google has in it’s possession. How could we be assured that they would erase all of the data they have on us?

What possible reason do I have for being in Google’s system? I don’t have a Google account. I don’t want Google to find pizza for me. I can use the Yellowpages–you know, a book.

You want to know what’s the harm? Look at the last decade. Our government is digging deeper and deeper into our lives, and corporations are doing the same. It may be fear that motivates me, but if so, it’s a legitimate fear.

Along the same lines as what Lorrie is talking about, one thing that’s always bothered me about services intended to help me is that they rarely understand my motivations on anything but a commercial level. When I am interested in material on safety hazards of a product I am not necessarily looking for the nearest retail outlet. Rather than giving my information to a commercial entity to help me sort out what I want, I think I should be be in charge of filtering my own searches through use of appropriate search terms.

I Google several dozen company names a day as part of my job. I’m not personally interested in the products of any of these companies. But Google sure thinks I am! It’s extremely annoying, but at least (so far) these job-related searches haven’t been for embarrassing products, although sometimes the artists whose names I have to spellcheck are a bit on the edge. It’s all creating a very strange profile of me somewhere …
- Ellen Dibble
  
  I transcribe for the courts, so I am always googling police logs, and safe houses, shelters, drug treatment programs, and so forth. The result is that I get ads telling me that a 50-year-old woman can look 40 if she clicks this space. And here are such-and-such sexy guys who want a “faithful woman.” And I would be a little more convinced they thought I was that sort of woman if it weren’t that for the first few months I was on Facebook, the person who kept showing up as a “possible friend” seemed to be the madam for the local call girls. I am kind of disappointed that now that I’ve graduated myself to Facebook’s Timeline, I don’t get to see the “possible friends” on offer. I can type in various letters of the alphabet in the Search box at the top and get an idea of who Facebook thinks is “interested” in my site, and sometimes I get the Madam if I go to “show all potential friends,” and scroll down, but I think the old Facebook actually showed me visitors to my site, among other things, which might be good to know.

    Was the ‘Madam’ interested in you as a call-girl, a customer, or what? (If I may inquire?)
    - Ellen Dibble
      
      Well, I don’t know. Some of the people being touted in that space were relatives of people I know, and it’s possible Facebook saw person Y in my e-mail address book and saw person Y’s friends includes A, B, and C. Or it’s possible A, B, and C have met me or heard about me and thought to visit my site. I don’t know. Now, the madam, I believe she’s one of several thousand “friends” of the local politician. Maybe not. I say that because I noticed some of the “possible friends” being touted were not friends of anybody in any way linked to me. There is the guy who runs a Gay Rights on-line periodical out of Tampa. Apparently he’s a frequent flyer at my site. I’m guessing that gay rights is a sideline, and his main income is from surfing the web for Facebook pages of this sort or that. Actually, I think he was a friend of a friend. But some have no link, and can seem spooky to me. The madam is an Ivy League graduate, and lives within easy walking distance. She runs a do-not-call list of some sort, which may be a sort of cover for something more remunerative. I didn’t message her and ask, hey, are you hanging out at my site? If so, why. There may be a sort of conspiracy of dunces that descends on single women, not a true alliance with any meaning, but a sort of curiosity. I’m not sure she qualifies, under the circumstances. Sex and the single girl (25-year-old woman) is not the same as sex and the 65-year-old hag. I get one set of benefits; she gets the opposite set.

what’s the difference between getting hired for a job and 6 months later been asked to do a drug test because it’s new policy in your company and now your choices are to abide by the new policy or quit? google offers great service and programs you can either approve of the policy chang or quit using their services.

Google has become useless over the past year to two years because of its linking of a user’s search history to what Google then directs to the user. The information has lost its objectivity and to me, the integrity of the information furnished is tarnished. Consequently, when I search, I typically go to Wikipedia and look at their links.

  I agree. I have noticed my searches have been “watered down” recently, or something seems different about the quality of the search results. Even when I use boolean searches it seems to over ride those.

  I think solution can be reached. It starts here. The fact that we are all concerned. Companies, good or evil are compelled to listen. Google, though the leader in innovation and technology, could potentially lead a dangerous road. OK. We we are all concerned and not comfotable with all we share for the price of customized service and rather have control over who and how much is out there about us.
  One choice (a poor choice) is not to use technology. Or we can stay alert. We do have a choice. We could use another search engine. Imagine if we all start using Bing for a while.
  Companies, good or evil are compelled to listen if we act. See what happened to SOPA.

This is NOT about privacy. Google would not take such a risk with just privacy. Google’s business model is hinged on being a juggernaut. This new blanket agreement signs you up clandestinely for every single service that Google offers now and those still in the grand-scheme pipeline. This is to gain subscription and moreover protect google when you complain that you did not want to be a part of Google Plus, etc (google’s version of Facebook) They can claim that legally you gave consent for every service belonging to google.

THIS IS ABOUT FREEDOM OF CHOICE: Google new stance is take it all or leave it. How else was a company with such grand plans and this much in debt going to generate revenue.

When Google started It seems that searches would return a fair number of relevant results. Now, with Google and other search engines that use the excuse of tailoring results to your personal info, you get a first line that is what you’re looking for, more often than not usefull.

On ‘Ted Talks” a fellow gave a talk about how that idea of narrowing down to your info, time after time, you’re results are much less diversified, possibly missing out on exactly what you look for.

This question is not one of Google trying to expand its
revenue stream on the private lives of its users.

The question for me is that Google specifies a privacy
contract. A contract that most of us don’t
read.

But the fact is that it is not a contract, it is a
dictation. “This is what we will do today that is in our interest.” So we get
enticed and then they modify the rules and remove negate our assumptions about
the use. Imagine filing a tax return and five years later, the government comes
back and changes the way the tax is computed?

It is not possible to control our lives online.

  1. IF TAX LAW CHANGES YOU DON’T CRY THAT LAST YEAR YOUR COW WAS TAXED DIFFERENTLY. YOU JUST PAY WHAT YOU OWE THIS YEAR.

  IF GOOGLE CHANGES ITS RULES AND YOU DON’T LIKE IT, YOU HAVE THE WAY OUT – CANCEL YOUR ACCOUNTS.
  
  2. IN CASE SOME DIDN’T READ THE FINE PRINT, GOOGLE MADE A BIG SOUND NOTIFYING ABOUT CHANGES. iT WAS NOT DONE SURREPTITIOUSLY.
  
  3. ASSUMPTIONS IS THE MOTHER OF ALL F/UPs. SO, THIS IS YOUR WEAK POINT.

  I tried to read it. It is not that hard yet to read. You will give consent everytime you use their services.
  
  Also under terms of service,(http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/terms/) it states that some services may not be available without an account. That means you are giving up more information and possible privacy in price of technology they will offer you.

Google’s role in pioneering innovation and in technology is unprecedented. However, I believe shifting power (in this case information) in the hands of a centralized (especially intelligent) unit, could be detrimental at some point or time. You do not have to be a buff in history to have seen examples of that. Do you share everything with all strangers? Just because Google have good intentions NOW, we need to share everything about us?
How about a hacker obtains all this information?

JustSayin

The guest that states that “we are not taking advantage of Google Dashboard to correct the information that Google collects about us”, has such a twisted view of the world it makes me sick. Guys like this and companies like Google are the reason I don’t use real information.

Google collects the data without our consent and then we are employed to monitor the information they gather and make corrections for free. Information extortion, we are forced to work for Google to protect the information they gather!

I only have a toe in the water for Google services, I only use their search engine. I will switch to the Ask search engine, which I like better now.

It should be noted that it is difficult to avoid the reach of Google services. This page alone loads YouTube, Google-analytics, Google, and Googleadservices

Okay guys. Google used to have around 60 separate privacy policies depending on what part of their services you were accessing. They decided that was cumbersome and unreasonable not just for them but for users so they are trashing them all for one consistent policy across all their services (FREE Services). They aren’t proposing any new uses of the data they already use. They are just proposing to make the policy easier to understand. What’s with all the paranoia?
- Bexhill Dun
  
  You are fundamentally confused on what Google is doing. Right now, if you are subscribed only to gmail, and you go to another one of their sites like youtube where you dont want to have a account, because you dont really want the world to know what funny video you have looked at today or if you went there during work hours; you can do so anonymously without taking any additional steps. After the new service agreement, you will be signed up for youtube automatically and without choice. So if you click on a link that takes you to youtube, now there is a record of your activity. But so far its still innocent, however just wait till they start wanting to become bigger than facebook in social networking, every video, map, image, search you have looked at will appear on your friend’s screens saying ‘you may be interested in this video, your friend Jim just saw it’

What I find troubling is the fact that Google (I’m not on Facebook, thank God) is a commercial entity, a commercial entity that down the line could choose (in pursuit of quick profit) to do all manner of nefarious / unethical things with the private data they’ve collected.

By saying this, I don’t mean to suggest that Google has necessarily gone against their motto “Don’t be evil”. They haven’t crossed over to the Dark Side YET. But who’s to say what could happen 5, 10 years down the road? Somebody unscrupulous could take control of the company and suddenly have all kinds of private data at their disposal, to do with as they wish. Such a stockpile of information would give them (a single corporate entity) an awful lot of power over millions of people , does it not?

I’m only halfway through the program, but it sounds to me as if Jarvis is awfully non-chalante/dismissive about the power that comes with knowing so much about so many people. His point about SOPA is well taken, though.
- Bexhill Dun
  
  Yes absolute power corrupts absolutely. Google wants to be the ultimate power in all things computing; email, pictures, maps, telephone; and now even social networking. What they are doing with their new user agreement is getting your consent across the board. Moreover, they are getting you on board Google Plus their version of Facebook.

The problem with Google youth is they are ignorant–and fearsome–Children of the Corn!. If a child is born in a dictatorship, he doesn’t know it–it’s ordinary, and he is ignorant. These wet-wipes have grown up in a cyber-totalitarian world and are perfectly OK with it like mindless drones. The Borg-cliche..

These tools are not creating revolutions–they are used to crush them s….4brains.

The problem is not about that Google is storing the information for our convenience–(Google itself might be naively innocent or benign) the problem is it makes it more convenient for dark forces in our very dark government to crush dissent, to track people, to watch people–not terrorists–but democratically motivated people–progressives–the 99 that threaten to unseat corporate killers. If you live in a benign society organic and democratic it is never uniform and ‘convenient’ and ordered and we would fear terrorists–fascists. however, when yo live in a police state ruled by fascists–terrorists with a sweet smile who torture, wage genocide, infanticide, eco destruction, and have erased ALL human rights, constitutional rights and the Bill of Rights–the ‘terrorists’ the ones ‘they’ fear–and you fear are democratic progressives who challenge the establishment’s right to murder systematically with very expensive killing machines. Google provides the platform to track you, isolate you, black mail you, black-list you (job?), and label you enemy of the state–who will never know that the worst you ever did was burn the toast–cuz the media wash will paint you as a demon and nobody will ever know the difference–in fact the mob will hate you and chant murder death kill–fantasy? No–watch congressman, senators and presidential candidates—count how many times they say–”kill’

Public, nor would I put anything about my political beliefs anywhere you could trivially find them. Proving that sort of discrimination is nearly impossible, and even if you do, you can’t ever be made whole by court-imposed remedies… you certainly don’t want that old job back for fear of hazing, hostile environments, and whatever, and finding a replacement job is rather difficult – you sued your boss, you’re *radioactive* now.

Jeff opened with an example about pizza searches. Of course, the implications are much broader than that.

One of my main concerns is that Google will only show you the search results that you want to see, rather than the results that you need to see. If you’re, say, a Democrat, Google may be filtering down your news results to only news and/or news sources that you would agree with. That shouldn’t stop you from being shown viewpoints other than your own, or else you will find yourself in an online bubble with the rest of the world isolated away from your view simply because it’s “not in your interests.”

your guest’s comment about not posting secrets is not the issue. the posts in question were posted with a very specific privacy agreement, the planned actions of google do not say from this point forward all data will be connected, it is retroactive so users made decisions under one agreement about information that will now (if this goes forward) be actioned under a new agreement.

I wanted to know how far things travel on google and one day I got a call from someone that insisting on talking to my dog (I had put this name in a form). They got really mean at me and wanted to know why they couldn’t talk to him and was there a problem. The woman was almost ready to take a hit out on me till I told her she was asking for my dog. Said dog, still gets emails once in a while. A year+ has passed. I laugh when I tell people this story and say darn dog. I’m guessing if he was publishing a book I would be rich.

I had to renew my drivers license this past year and the on line form asked what kind of car I drove. I thought this was strange, what was stranger is that I had to fill out another form when I got to the DMV and they didn’t care if I already did it on line. Within a week I got a call from a insurance sales person. needless to say I was pissed. Your right, I trust google more than I trust our government.

Oh well I still smile about what my dog does while I am at work.
Concerned User

So if i have this right, all of these Google entities collect information on us and sell it. Which means that anyone can buy it from each entity individually and put it all together and use it, sell it, whatever. So what Google is saying is that they are going to combine the information themselves so that it is more useful to them in serving us, as well as being more lucrative for them when they put our info up for sale. I’m not saying i condone this, but i don’t see how it is any more of a violation of our privacy than it was in the first place.

Tom Ashbrook has to be the worst person in broadcasting at managing conversation. A habitual interrupter, when there is more than one guest, and then people calling in, the show borders on farce. Case in point is when a woman calling in talked about doing Google searches about her diabetes.

One mistake talk show hosts are vulnerable to is thinking of themselves as “players,” of being co-experts on anything and everything, and of therefore being someone who matters concerning these subjects. The next step is for them to presume being authors of note (Tom Brokaw, Scott Simon, etc.). Hint to Tom Ashbrook: don’t write a book.

Worse than just interrupting people is the denigrating manner in which Tom Ashbrook treats some people who call in, and guests with whom he disagrees.

I don’t listen to this show to hear Tom Ashbrook. I would prefer Jane Clayson did the interviews. By the tone of her voice you can tell she actually knows something (reserved, articulate, respectful). The opposite is true of Tom Ashbrook.

This likely will not change until there is someone else doing the show. I can wait.

  Tom’s great. If you don’t like the show, go watch FOX.
  - Redneckjesus3
    
    I had a text. Now I’ve read the rest of your overly long commentary. Jane’s not bad. But Tom does a better job of steering the commentary. Juggling several guests at once may seem easier to you than it actually is. I think Tom does a great job. Jane I think is being broken into the position which she may one day inherit. But Jane let’s people go on too long and propagandize rather than staying, no pun intended, on point.

If you are worried about what Google and other companies know about you, take a look at the ads you see when you are checking your e-mail online, when you are on Facebook, or other places, and then ask yourself: do these ads demonstrate they really know who I am, or not? My guess is that the ads that seem to follow you around the internet are obviously pegging you wrong and are oversimplifications of who you are. As one woman caller said during the program, Google assumes she’s a man. If these services can’t even get sex right, they’re in trouble.

The truth is, most personalization on the internet is incompetent.

I heard this program after spending several days preparing to advise a client on how to personalize what they show to users based on what they know about these users, with the idea that this would help them serve their customers better. Instead of showing ALL their customers the same suggestions (one-size-fits-all) as they do now, I suggest they tailor what they show you based on what they know about you. Why? So they can be helpful, and in being helpful, earn your loyalty.

This client is one of the world’s largest companies, with about 60 million customers in the US; if you knew who they were, you would probably assume know a great deal about you.

But you know what? They don’t know bupkis. They don’t actually track everything you do on their many web sites. The things they do know about you are stored in many different places that are not connected with one another.

Now, it’s not that hard or technically complicated to do personalization well. You don’t
need massively complex algorithms, you just need a spreadsheet. You
don’t need math so much as you need a creative and sophisticated
understanding of categories and how to structure content. Yet few
companies out there have mastered personalization.

Just look at the ads you are shown and
you’ll see that most of the time it is one big fail.

They don’t know you. And you know what? They don’t care. These big companies aren’t like detectives, following individuals around to learn what they are doing, what they are buying, what they need to know… they are robots. They are uninterested in individuals. They only care about the aggregated activities of large groups of users — they don’t care about you personally. That’s what makes you safe.

  Yes, you are right. But this is the beginning. Google, though the leader in innovation and technology, has come a long way. The point is how sure are you if it will not get there; to be able to gather and analyze more and more about you. I’d rather have control over where I look for resources and what I watch: ads, movies, or any other content on the web. It should let you opt in, not set by default.
Concerned User

Referring to my previous comment, can anyone explain to me how the new Google policy violates user privacy any more than it already does?
- Zora
  
  Your information is being used across platforms. That means they are learning more about you by watching your inquies on google, by people you are in contact and the content of your email, by observing what interests you ie. Youtube, etc. ..

What about the limiting of ideas based on googles ideas of our views? Aren’t I getting a narrow view of the world if I search NPR or on the opposite end Rush Limbaugh? Google will gear articles to me based on my political views and wont that continue to limit perspectives and dialogue.

http://profiles.google.com/glen.k.peterson Glen Peterson

I’ve been building professional web applications for 12 years and everywhere I’ve worked, we built the most complete profile of our users that we possibly could. There is really no other way to operate. When there is an issue, the first question is, “How many users are affected?” You need to know as much as possible about the user in order to answer this question. Usually, that starts with their browser, operating system, and IP address.

The second question when an error occurs is, “How did this happen?” For that, you need a history of everything every user has done. Web applications are not the only ones who collect or use this information. The domain name system, your ISP, and every hub and router that your communications pass through has to have some level of logging, auditing, or tracking in order to function correctly. Unless you break into someone’s computer, the web has never been anonymous. Something like Tor can create some anonymity. If you are really concerned, use Tor.

You suggested using Yahoo! mail instead of Google mail, but Yahoo!, Twitter, Amazon, Microsoft and others are trying to collect every bit as much information about you as Google is. The only reason that Google might collect more is that Google is just doing a better job of capturing everything.

I think what really upsets people is that Google has been so successful at using this information to target ads for people. Without the targeted ads, the information collection is not visible to the end-user. All of a sudden, it seems like Google and Facebook are doing this terrible thing, when really, everyone is doing it and you only *see* the results when you use those products.

Having paid to advertise using Google Adwords, I can say without a doubt that when Google shows you an ad for Type II diabetes, they are not telling the advertisers that you have Type II diabetes. The advertiser does not know anything about who you are, just that someone, somewhere used the word “Diabetes.” Google has a program that sees the word “Diabetes” in your profile and that fires ads that also have the word “Diabetes” in them. They are not disclosing anything about you to advertisers.

Now, if you share your Google login with someone else, or use your computer where someone can see your screen, well, Google can’t protect you from that. Tell other family members to get their own profile. Don’t discuss divorce with friends in email – use the phone or talk in person. People don’t read porn in public. Why should they expect to surf web sites in public that they don’t want other people to know about?

As far as Google being evil, over 40 major technology companies were hacked about a year ago, including Microsoft, Adobe, and others. Accounts of Chinese dissidents were specifically targeted. Google made the hacking public first. Others have still not admitted to the hacking. When China said to Google, Microsoft, and others that they had to censor their search results inside the Great Firewall of China or “get out,” Google was the only one to get out. Yet people are using Bing instead of Google in order to protect their privacy. This makes no sense to me.

The targeted ads that are upsetting people so much are what pay for gmail and YouTube. The company I work for pays for Google Apps so that we all have Gmail without any ads. If that’s what you want, you can pay $50 per user per month. For free, you get targeted ads. Live with it.

I cannot imagine any meaningful way to make the web truly anonymous that does not also give hackers and spammers a huge edge over legitimate web sites and e-commerce. The profiling and tracking that every major web presence uses today is necessary to prevent spam from dominating our inboxes and forums like this one, and also to catch hackers when they break in and steal or destroy things.

  Along these lines, instead of fearing the Internet, there are ways to embrace it, creating content and flooding the web with ourselves in ways that we want to be seen rather than giving others control. The Internet is a powerful tool; for people in business, and who want to be found, indispensable, but must be used smartly.
  
  I don’t fear Google half as much as the creep who answered a for-sale ad I posted on Craig’s List yesterday.

I don’t mind my info being shared anonymously,especially aggregated however FB and Google must convince me to trust their employees and security infrastructure re: more sensitive data.

My question is this doesn’t this new policy perhaps limit our choices? If Goggle only presents me info that it thinks I’m interested in than I am limited in what I can access . IN effect I’m boxed in by my “profile”.

There are several technical issues that should be raised.

* Google isn’t collecting any additional information about users. They’re just sharing information between services. Arguably, it’s better for users to have a single privacy policy for all of Google’s services than 70+ different policies (one for each service).

* You don’t have to login to use many of Google’s services (search, news, maps, youtube, etc).

* You can manage what information Google stores about you at https://www.google.com/dashboard/

* Google provides tools to opt-out of tracking cookies. You can block Google Analytics: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and Google Ad cookies: http://www.google.com/ads/preferences/plugin/

* Google provides many of its services over an encrypted connection, to prevent others from eavesdropping on your data (this is important if you use open wifi in a coffee shop, for example). GMail, Google Search, Docs, and Google+ run over encrypted links, for example.

* If, after all that, you decide that you’re not comfortable with Google’s policies, you can take your data somewhere else. Google makes it easy to extract your data and take it with you. See http://www.dataliberation.org/ for instructions.

The problem with facebook is there’s no way you can not be on facebook. Even if you inactive your profile or never sign up, you are still on facebook because your friends, acquaintances, and family members who are on facebook will post pictures and other information about you (like where you work, what you’re studying, what you’re goals are where you travelled to, what you ate etc.). I’ve observed this. This is one reason why I prefer to keep my facebook profile activated and monitor what others post about me and my loved ones.

My eldest sister posted information about our younger brother (who deactivated his facebook profile). I told her that he does not what to be on facebook, and she insists that what she posted is nothing for him to be ashamed. I had to write a long email explaining why she shouldn’t post anything about him before she relented. I hate when people post stuff about me and my family.

This really does seem to be about generational differences. I’ve lived over half my life in the pre-internet era and have come to understand and even halfway embraced the usefulness of Google and Facebook information sharing.

There’s the elder generation who fear intrusion into our private lives by any entity- be it Facebook or the government; and there’s the younger generation who have grown up with the internet as a daily part of our lives and are less concerned about the difference between public and private.Given all that, those who are fearful of the inevitable progress of technology also need to be aware that steps can be taken with BOTH Facebook and Google to limit what you reveal publicly. It’s quite easy to limit what people see on your Facebook page, be it friends or people who you haven’t “friended”. You can even prevent your name from popping up on a public search. It’s all a matter of investigating and taking action to how public or private you want to be.

Tom sounded like a grumpy old man towards the end, and more emphasis should have been placed on these privacy (i.e. limiting what you show to the public) features.

  I’m sixty-one and I couldn’t care less about privacy, and have embraced the Internet, full-bore. The stuff I don’t want out there, I keep off-line.
  
  I think, in general, there’s a lot of hyped-up paranoia out there. Look at the fences people are building around their properties. Once upon a time, everything was wide open and neighbors could see each other and talk to each other in their backyards. Look at all the ads for ID protection – look at all the paranoia people have about being photographed. It’s crazy, and I don’t buy it.

In a way, this discussion is patently ridiculous. Privacy ‘policies’ are worthless. They’re only as effective as the most evil employee on staff that has access to people’s email data and the company’s vaunted search engines. They search for accounts of famous individuals or signs that they have money, then for ‘naughty words’ in those accounts and have some fun snickering over it, or start turning some money selling said info or using it for blackmail.

Unless a privacy policy contains language to promise that all data is encrypted from employees(expensive) and that all workstations that can come into contact with customer data has NO CD-R/RW burners, all the USB ports are filled in with glue and that the case is welded shut(inconvenient and expensive) there is nothing to prevent someone from walking out the door with gigabytes of private customer data every day.

I am a FB user and a VERY heavy Google user. None of this ‘privacy policy’ stuff matters to me in the least, because none of it has a material impact on my real life. I still call the shots. I still talk to my friends, because word of mouth will ALWAYS be the most powerful check and balance in any system. And I will always vote with my feet. If it helps me, I use it. If it doesn’t I’m gone. Just because I leave a wide electronic wake doesn’t phase me in the least.
The Emporer is NAKED

Not a facebook user! Used to have google as my home page – now it is scroogle.com. If i distrusted Zuckerberg before, how much more with the stock going public. Privacy is thrown under the bus for a stock increase. Greed always wins. But what about the 49% of us non users? I am afraid to lift a single photo to the internet, for fear that it can be linked, then tagged, then Identified by facial recognition. Who will champion the non user? It seems the focus is on facebook users. I work on the internet daily. My IT job forces me to “footprint” there. I must use the internet for everything. My company only direct deposits, My pay stubs must be pulled from a 3rd party website contractor. I get 30-60 emails a day. All this data out there so how to i keep Zuckerberg’s nazis out of my junk? or Family, friends adding my photo to their website? It make you pretty camera shy to think this could happen. I have seen FB query my photo being added on a relative’s page,- who is this person? Most people are unware just how much of you lives in databases.
People will know when this goes to far- when someone uncorks and does an oklahoma city style destruction of Google or Facebook. Think Columbine, this is not hard to see coming.

Never mind the web. The idea this Jarvis fellow is a professor makes me much more concerned about higher education than it does about any internet issue.

Hi, I wanted to chime in here. I’m a loyal podcast listener and I catch about 80% of everything you do via the web here in Bangkok, so I’ve heard a number of shows related to Google & Facebook while listening to On Point. I also work in online marketing and have since circa 1997, so I’m familiar to some degree with what Google is doing and how their business works – at least on the marketing end, which is what is driving this.

The thing I wanted to pop in and request is that you stop having noted bloggers like Jeff Jarvis on your show and, instead, bring on an actual search marketing expert or the like. There are plenty of professionals in our field who (unlike me) specialize in following Google’s every move and reverse-engineering its business. The same is true for Facebook. Granted, you don’t want the entire show to be hyper-technical chat about the inner-workings of Google’s search (and non-search) marketing, but I believe that consumers would be much better off hearing from actual experts *in this field* concerning what these changes translate to and how this data is actually handled and so on than they are from hearing an evangelist bloviate about the brave new world.

Many of us out here work in this field and we have a very pragmatic view of companies like Google, having seen how they *really* work from a decade of working with them in one capacity or another. While analogies about the printing press and the evolution of public photography are interesting trivially, they have very little to do with the nuts and bolts of online marketing, data collection, contextual search and so on. He always drags the discussion back into the abstract and favors analogies when such a discussion can easily be, and should be had in the specific and not in the abstract. One of your guests meekly attempted to make this point, but got blown right past.

In closing, though, I wanted to note that your show is a very valuable weekly asset in helping me keep in touch with what’s going on in America. I think you do a great job and I truly enjoy listening regularly, this is just a minor nitpick I felt compelled to post after having a similar reaction to Jarvis’s appearances on your shows before. I always bottled it previously, but his elbow-throwing, bombastic know-it-all routine really grates – and all the more so because he’s presented as an expert in a field I’ve worked in for 14-15 years, but seems to have little to say about the specifics of how it works.

As of this week, if you go to any website owned by you are automatically logged in!! even if you never signed up for that site. For instance: if and when I go to youtube, its been anonymously, but now I get forcefully logged on automatically.

I told you so.

Nisu mi ni odgovorili. Malo me je taj natpis strecnu jer sam, isto danas, prvi put vide jedan model zastitnih objekata , koji sam isto autorski zastitio pre vise od deset godina. Bilo je to previse za jedan dan. Jedno moje “autorstvo’ se proizvodi i koristi a da ja to neznam, a drugo se -preko googla najvaljuje. I jedno i drugo bez ikakvog dogovora samnom kao autorom. Ja nemam nameru da se sa vama raspravljam, nek vam je prosto. Ja sam vec navikao na razne “manifestacije uzvisenosti i poslovnosti” od veike gospode. Neko hocet nesto da uzmete-sta vam mogu. Ali bih vam dao jedan koristan savet-sacekajte da neka svoja autorstva dovrsim-pa ih tada otmite. Tek tada ce ona biti onakva kakva trebaju da budu-lepa i korisna.Mnogo vise koristi bi imali,a i meni bih bilo bolje-nebih morao da nosim etiketu nekog mangupa koji podmece , baca, parcade givanice, to jest lose varijante svojih autorstava. a bih bio mirniji a vi bi imali vise koristi.

Monitoring of google searches will definitely be inhibiting on what can be research on the web. Some examples of information that you might want to protect:
1. you own a company and are working on a project that you may want to keep private from your competitor.
2. research on trying to concieve a child but do not want anyone to know yet.
