Re Google Chrome.
I have GC not the disease, and use it when my provider gets really slow and view UTube videos.
I didn’t give out my GC email address to anyone.
After a few months, my neighbor suddenly became a friend. I never used GC mail to contact her. She, also, has a secondary GC email address, and she never sent an email to my GC email acct.
A few months later another friend in town appeared as a friend. He never sent me anything on his GC email nor did I.
This past week I got a call from an out of town younger relative who uses GC as his main email and never sent anything to my GC email. He got a notification that he had a GC relative, me. A day later his name appeared as a relative on my GM list. I have three names that I never sent a GM to them, nor received an GM from them.
None of these people nor I use any of the social nets.
Apparently, Google’s data mining was so effective, they put the 4 of us together. That was what caused this younger relative to say “Close down NSA and pay Google to do it.”
Since then, he said Google would probably do it for free.
