Re: Privacy is not the biggest problem

For the most part it's still possible to stay out of the Google identity web. I use a VPN and Google still doesn't have my name and telephone number.

Oh really? So you never hit websites with Google Analytics, a Google + button, and you never interface with other people who may have your details? Even if it feels like it, Google only has to comply with privacy laws as long as it asks you directly for your details. If it finds someone else who has your details in their address book, they will have it anyway - and no need to tell you about it.

That data grabbing network reaches deep.
