Wussupi83 makes a very good point. Google is not responsible for users' failure to do their due diligence. I do NOTHING online without the assumption that, regardless of any privacy policy, sooner or later the right amount of money will change hands, and anything I've typed or uploaded will be made available to advertisers, parasites' alphabet agencies, or others to whom it was not intended. Still, if I am relatively certain that my data will be misused (giving it to advertisers is, by definition, misuse), I don't use that service. I use startpage.com or duckduckgo for searches, and minimize my use of other Google services.
