Google announced changes to its Terms Of Service that take effect November 11. If you have an android phone with a GPS chip and logged into your Google account – google now knows how fast you are driving!! Will they report that to authorities? Doesn’t say. If you like anything on a Google account; it gives them your signature to use your picture in ads. Be careful what you like after 11/11/2013!! The following instructions on how to op out of the last one is from Bob Rankin’s email on the subject. Fortunately, you can control the use of your name, face, and Google profile in ads. There is now a “Shared Endorsements” setting, but it’s well hidden. To opt out of Shared Endorsements in ads, follow this simple 10-step process. Go to Google and sign into your account. If it’s not already a Google+ account, upgrade. Click on your profile picture in the upper right corner. Click on the “Account” link. Click on “Google+” in the left sidebar. Find “Shared Endorsements” on the page, and click the Edit link. Scroll down to the checkbox that precedes the words “Based upon my activity, Google may show my name and profile photo in shared endorsements that appear in ads.” Uncheck that box. Click the blue “Save” button. Youre not quite done. Google says: Are you sure? When you disable this setting, your friends will be less likely to benefit from your recommendations. Click the blue “Continue” button, but only if youre really sure that you dont want your face plastered all over the Web, to help Google sell stuff.
