Heads (and briefs) Up! Google Collects Your Private Information!

SIDE ISSUE:

This is one of the reasons why here at White Briefs Diary we refuse to use Google Adsense and place ads all over this blog, Google is notorious in collecting your private data and selling it to corporations. So beware of other blogs or white briefs sites with Google ads, as these ads will track your every move and intrude with invasive ads, even if you never click on them, though these ads might be of underwear, sometimes these ads may "pop up" in inappropriate times (such as with kids, at work, or when sharing your computer with friends and family).

VOAN NEWS:
"Police in South Korea have raided local offices of Google Incorporated in what they say is a search for evidence that Google's mobile advertising arm has been illegally collecting private data.


Police said members of their cyber unit conducted the raid Tuesday. They carried away hard drives and other equipment related to Google's AdMob unit, which is suspected of collecting personal location information without authority or permission.


The probe is not directly related to a previous investigation of Google in South Korea. That probe concerned the incidental collection of personal data while Google cars were cruising through neighborhoods and taking photographs for the company's Street View service.


Google officials say they are cooperating with the latest investigation, which comes amid rising concern that Apple and other mobile telephone producers are saving data on users' personal movements for advertising purposes."

Don't forget to support White Briefs Diary, one of the very few (maybe only) white briefs blog/site with NO ads.
