What is Google taking when it takes our data? › Voyou Desoeuvre

01/25/12

A lot of concerns about “privacy” seem to be objections simply to the fact of Google tracking data, to the idea that our behavior can be quantified and mathematized. The concern, that is to say, is about privacy in the sense of our true, innermost, self, our bourgeois subjectivity. Or, to put it another way, people are worried about technology stealing their souls.

In which I try and figure out why people are so bothered about a minor technical change to Google’s privacy policy.
