Reblogged from criminallyincompetent
Let me backtrack from being an idiot here and reblogging that Google post without actually reading the source and the official Google blog post.
Apparently, from what I’m seeing here, Gizmodo is trying to blow this way out of proportion.
The only changes Google is making to their Privacy Policy are those that combine the existing ones into a more concise blanket policy for all its services.
All they’re doing is making it easier for their service users to access the information they’ve already stored, and to access other user’s shared information on the topics they search. Nothing that people actually set as ‘private’ is being sifted through by anyone else, and only the stuff that’s already out there on multiple Google services is being tracked, so that you and other people can use that stuff.
Really, the only bad thing about this change is the fact that they can now more accurately throw ads at you, but you can turn those off anyways.
Crisis averted, people, Gizmodo is just being a shock-happy asshole again, nbd.
…well, that teaches me to reblog a “panic post.”

Okay, good. Because Google was anti-SOPA and it would make me a sad panda to have to move my shit elsewhere.

;w; Thank you for clearing that up. I thought it was a bit over exaggerated but no one really said anything so I kind of worried.
