I find it ironic that mass surveillance capital of the world London would complain about this. Companies such as google and Facebook make advertising profiles. Mass surveillance is something only governments would care about.


Good investigative thread. If eu does decide to break Google up (and I hope they do), hopefully it will be the data collection and advertising in one completely separate firm. Preferably android in another and rest of Google another
