Google, the company that makes money by mining your personal information wants you to supply even more personal information. No, I don’t think so.

More personal data to store and sell, which is it’s real business - big brother to the big corporations and their advertisers, while you are just a commodity to be sold, bought and bartered over.

Me to Google — Hey I got money in my account why did you stop payment at the gun shop?
Google - We don’t think you should own a gun so we prevented you from buying one.

Google, which sees our searches and currently discriminates against anyone who doesn’t fully accept the total leftist agenda.
They aren’t getting my checking account.

I thought the same thing about people who had a land line, a mid-90's cable box, a cell phone, or a smartphone, and then I realized that everyone was under surveillance for decades whether they thought they were or not, and stopped worrying about it.

Because some would take my comments serious and think I had an account with google.
