In the future employers could use that against you.

May I ask where you heard this?
On the google search "Dangers of Google"

...

That's supposed to be ironic, right?

Right?

Guys none of you really use google right? I will admit I use it once and awhile, but I shouldn't and nor should you. The fact of the matter is google tracks and stores everything you ever search on the internet and all of the websites you have ever been too. That is why they are trying to control the internet. They bought out youtube, and they even have their own browser now.

You can turn the eternal cookie off, you know that?

And where do you get the idea that Google is selling those data? They are merely using those data on behalf of their clients; like generating the most appropriate ads. Their clients do not have access to the data itself; that would be violating of Google's own privacy statements.

And finally, the link between you and these items:

MAC address
Cookie
Email address
Google account

can only be revealed if you choose to reveal it yourself.

So what they have history of a particular cookie/MAC address/Email/Google account? No one knows its you unless you tell them.

Okay wait, what's this about stealing toilet paper now?

Please don't take my toilet paper.  It's soft and fuzzy, like a cat.

A PAPER CAT.

I think making a big text box is fine. I did think I was zoomed in when I saw it though. There's a lot of people whose vision isn't that great. And if you don't like it, zoom out.

Anyway, I don't think Google is behind any big conspiracy. Just because they ruined Youtube doesn't change that. You cannot assume someone is a spy because they have a pet monkey who flings poo at you.

 Google could buy whatever government you are under and just seize the papers if they wanted. Even if you avoid it, they will get what they want.

 I suppose this is something we will need to get used to. This is pretty much the first time in a decade they have changed the font size.
