Facebook and Google vs Privacy

Okay Facebook, thanks for reminding me - like my Dad doesn't do that enough already.

If it's possible, I think Google actually annoyed me more. All I did was open an Excel sheet in Google Docs as I thought it would be quicker and more convenient to do that than download it. What does Google then do?

Saves it for me.

Without asking.

If I wanted to save it, I'd have saved it thank-you-very-much.

Then it took me about 20 minutes to figure out how to delete the blooming thing.

I know I could stop using these, but they're so entrenched and prevalent in every day "Inetrnet" life that it's difficult to get away from them.

It would be rather interesting - and frightening - to see how much, and what, information just these two companies hold on me.

Maybe I need to stop using the internet and start wearing a tin-hat.


What do you think? Am I being paranoid or do we really need to start worrying about this?
