      Here’s a list of examples where Google was examined by the courts The first search on the topic I’ve made

      I don’t have a smoking gun for you, but I’ve got a dozen lawsuits saying that Google is lying about their assertion that they don’t sell user data

      It’s not proof, but it’s very telling… I’m not saying that Google is directly selling user info, I’m saying that you can buy a list of credit card purchases made by any individual from Equifax for $200

      Google isn’t selling information directly, but it sure as hell seems like they’re selling it indirectly

      I haven’t looked into the issue deeply, but a casual search has only reinforced my opinion

        You think Equifax is buying data from Google? About credit card purchases? Google doesn’t even have access to that kind of data. It’s credit processors and credit bureaus that are selling you out. Credit bureaus openly do what people accuse Google of doing, yet the complaints about selling data are always directed at Google. People running credit bureaus must be laughing their asses off.
