It is not ok for my ISP to do it but otherwise I won't get any internet.

Answer the question or quit trolling.

It's silly because it is of no consequence to you and you haven't explained what it is that they are doing.

I'm not trolling, just pointing out that you seem extremely paranoid for no reason.

Are you sure? It's definitely a multiple choice poll :p
 
How am I paranoid when it's proven?

You keep making excuses and refuse to answer so safe to say you're trolling and no need for me to reply anymore.

What is proven, what are you even talking about? You haven't clarified that. You said Google are profiling you without backing it up with anything.

I don't know why you even bothered to reply in the first place as you obviously have no idea what you're talking about.

You just don't like Google... "just because" is not a valid reason.

Then you resort to the old 'call someone a troll and run tactic'... nice. :)
 
Why should I provide evidence when it's clearly documented on the internet. Do a google search.

What is trolling to me is that you believe it's ok for google to track online movements and compare it to ISP tracking when you have no choice.

Not running, just walking away from am ignorant reading his daily the sun news paper :)

Edit: Feel free to have the last word, it wont mean much.
 
i use it (IE) to view a webcam on a German site i visit occasionally (i was based in the town during the 80's and it's a bit of a nostalgia thing) i can't get anything to work properly on FF that views the images correctly. using FF the images cycle through at an alarming rate whereas with IE they cycle through frame by frame

the site in case anybody is interested is: "Hemer webcam" it's just a road junction but i have reasonably good memories of it and the immediate surroundings.

i've just reread that and it sounds like i need to get out more :D

Still nothing of any substance then? What a surprise.

Paranoid in the extreme.

Daily the sun newspaper?

Sounds interesting.

I haven't heard of that either, but then we don't live in la la land.
 
Because you're being a hypocrite in saying that you hate Google and won't use it because they track searches, yet don't mind your ISP doing the exact same (and more) because, oh well, what else can I do?

...worst 'I used to be a dogger post' ..ever
 
Just so you know, Tyron. What google is doing is quite common practice. If you use facebook, twitter, Youtube or various online newspapers. They are all tracking what you're doing, videos you're watching or articles you're reading.

You'd be the only person who didn't. It was a multiple choice poll when I set it up and I didn't see the option just to deny you multiple selections - although if I had... :p

In fairness to Tyron here Google do store a lot of data relating to people who use their services but they're relatively open about telling you that they do so and their privacy policy is freely available. I can see reasons for unease regarding a private corporation storing so much data on you as an individual but in their defence it's not as if they hide it particularly nor indeed are they in any way unique about doing so.

I'm aware of their privacy policy. Could you explain what these 'reasons for unease' might be, as he didn't seem able to do that.
