Recently Google spread the news about simpler privacy policy, making simpler version from more than sixty of them into one which, according to the company officials, was meant to help the users in using the company’s products. “This is the first step to the overall simplification we have planned since a long time ago,” said an official.
While according to the company’s officials the polemical privacy policy was meant to make it easy for the users when using their products, privacy right partisans straddled by the the internet giant’s challengers addressing complaints that Google is taking profits for its own self with the controversial privacy policy violating the rights of its users.
According to the partisans, Google’s challenged privacy policy will give power to the behemoth company to share virtually all of its consumers restricted information across all of its interconnected systems to be used for its advertisers’ needs. With the new policy, it is unfold that Google would handle all of its users who are logged on while utilizing its services as one individual, giving power Google to share their data points across all its products.
Microsoft, the internet giant wanna be, made the best use of the situation by campaigning its own products which, it said, have better privacy policy than Google’s.
Microsoft said in its marketing campaigns that its users would never have to vex about their information being “sold” to the advertisers. They also utilized the opportunity to try to reassume their Microsoft Office product market share, which a while back had been to some degree undermined by Google’s Docs free services.
Hotmail, for example, have better privacy policy than its Google counterpart Gmail. Unlike Gmail consumers, Microsoft suggest, Hotmail consumers would not have to worry that the text of their personal emails be tapped for advertisement targeting. And contrasted to Google’s Chrome browsers, Microsoft went forward, Internet Explorer has been armored with an anti-tracking facility mentioned as Tracking Protection. And for those customers who don’t want their text files and written communications be exploited to the advertisers, the company suggests its business suite Microsoft Office.
Opposing the vindications, of course Google don’t just keep calm. To counter it, the search engine giant publicized a number of written explanations denying the statements and revealing that the company’s view about privacy does not change and that the statements are only based on prejudice.
