Is Google Spying on You for the Government?
Google, working on a agreement that’s still being finalized, is set to partner with the National Security Agency to help better defend Google and its users from Cyber Attacks. Are you scared of losing all privacy to the Gov’t yet?
The search engine giant we all love to use, gathers more information about our online activities that we know! Sure, they have a very detailed privacy policy, but how many people have actually read, or even understand the contents? The depth of knowledge Google stores on us is overwhelming… and rather frightening!
- When you visit a website with Google Ads – They now track you!
- If you visit Whitehouse.gov and watch a YouTube Obama Speech – They now track you!
- If you use Gmail – They know EVERYTHING about you!
- If you simply visit Google and search for something – You gave them permission to track you for many years!
- Have you seen Google Street View? Use Google maps to lookup YOUR address… don’t be too shocked!
- This list goes on and on…
Take a quick jump over to the Google Watch Cookie tracker, and see just how many years you didn’t even know you agreed to!
Finally, The Patriot Act…
- By Rule of the Patriot Act – it is illegal to disclose you have been contacted with a request for information! in other words, if the Gov’t DID request information (Which they do daily) it is against the law to reveal it! We would never know!
- By Rule of the Patriot Act – the Gov’t has full and complete rights to request search engine and web browsing data from anyone! including Google and your ISP.
Lets Face It – Google Knows MORE About Us than the Government – Or at least we like to Think So!

It is a bit of “big brother” but we can always take our business elsewhere. They are certainly the best game in town and probably will be for years to come. In the end I think it’s worth it with all the benefits that come with it.
