View submission: Why did I build AmputatorBot?
Google doesn't sell that data to external sources - it's only used internally. The don't have to sell it. They already are the biggest advertisement company on the internet. It amazes me how so many people are so misinformed, and then continue to spread it. I suspect it comes from the laziness of refusing to read relevant articles because they can't wait to get the first joke or pun in.

They do sell data to external sources, because even though they are effectively helping their competitors they are still making more money by selling it, and if they werent selling data then another advertising company would, and then they'd be rich.
And i am not misinformed, everything i say is my own opinions from my own research because i dont read news articles, i see first hand what is in their ToS and i see they're trackers on a daily basis and all the ways they implement it, weather it be android, or even AMP, and i dont believe i made a joke, nor pun.
