Google Ad Change Raises Questions

Privacy is a myth on the internet. If you're going to use the internet you must be prepared for the give and take, positives and negatives that come with it. It is only going to get worse.

This is essentially the same thing facebook is doing (they target ads towards specific people using what they have in their profile). at least with Google you can opt out supposedly ... makes me feel like its less of an invasion of privacy.

i think this is just an extension of what they already do. They are just using your search query to give you relevant messages. If you can opt out it doesn't seem like a privacy violation.

I'm not that concerned about this move by Google, but I have a lot of faith in their business sense to begin with. I think if it really did become a sinister, Orwellian power, we would hear about it from employees who would start to leave (or at least consider it) over ethics concerns.
