Is Google Tracking Us?

As if it wasn't enough that Google is invading privacy by taking photos of people in places that the public would not normally see (e.g. back gardens), the company now appears to be tracking internet use.

A bit of background info: On various webpages, Google adverts are displayed. These are usually put their by whoever runs the website, or whoever owns the website. The adverts display information based on what is written on an individual webpage. So if a webpage mentions dogs, adverts about dogs may appear. Ironically, if a vegetarian website mentions meat on one of its webpages, adverts for meat products may appear!

However, the adverts are always either based on one or more words on the page, or are non-profit or charity adverts (or rarely adverts about Google products).

Yet this happened: I searched for cat tracking devices on Google and looked at various websites. A lot later, I went onto a forum that had nothing to do with cats, and the specific page I was looking at had nothing about cats mentioned. Yet on the page was a very large advert for a cat tracking device.

The only reason for this has to be that Google is using some sort of tracking software to follow my internet locations (follow me to different websites), and then displaying adverts based on what I've previously searched for on Google. I've now deleted what I could from the Internt Options on my computer, but the fact that staff at Google are having a nosey at whatever websites you happen to visit is pretty fucking sinister.

PERVERTED AMERICAN OFFICIALS CAN GROPE YOUR KIDS

The paedophile who lets it happen (top left) and more paedos (bottom left).

Yep. You read that right. TSA (Transportation Security Administration) now have free reign to grope anyone who goes through a U.S. airport (update: and now train stations and bus stations too).

I'm not talking about the alread-perverted pat-downs. I'm talking about "enhanced pat downs". In other words, sexual assault - just like torture was given a new name of "enhanced interrogation" by the Bush administration.

Imagine, in order to "protect" you (supposedly), a TSA agent feels up your kid. Using the front of their hand, they poke, prod, and have a good feel. Well I hate the idea of being locked up in a foreign country, but if someone did that to my kid I'd punch them in the head until they were unconscious.

What's next, anal probes? People used to joke about that but I can seriously imagine that, maybe called "super enhanced pat downs". Americans need to wake the fuck up and do something about this, and the rest of the world needs to condemn, boycott, and impose sanctions on the U.S.A. until the government stops this happening (TSA agents work on behalf of the U.S. government).

There's a video about it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InM3Mzt1uU8
