Re: Competition

Compared to AT&T giving complete phone and internet data to the NSA without a court oversight? Compared to AT&T, Google is Jesus.

You don't think Google will give out internet data to the NSA?

Google monitors everyone and uses it to build a database about you. They probably know more about you than your closest friend or significant other. I don't think that is much better.

what purpose does having a file on > 300 million people do for a private company that doesn't sell products to all of those people?

That's a great question. Google must have some reason. A lot of it is advertising. The more then know, the more they can charge for more accurate advertising.

Google isn't handing over anything secretly. When law enforcement interferes with their customers, they tell them and it gets documented here:

»www.google.com/transpare ··· ernment/

Does AT&T have a similar list?

Google is not providing internet to the public yet. Once they do we will know more.

No idea what At&t has.
