Google has decided that your privacy is no longer their "number one priority" and reversed their long-standing policy towards anonymous online ad tracking and user names; the Google DoubleClick advertising database will now be combined with all other information Google has on users, such as from Gmail and all other accounts and logins.

excerpt of the new policy:

We may combine personal information from one service with information, including personal information, from other Google services -- for example to make it easier to share things with people you know. [...] Depending on your account settings, your activity on other sites and apps may be associated with your personal information in order to improve Google's services and the ads delivered by Google. [...]

    Sorry to break it to you, but the candidate that's 99.999% likely to win is far, far more fascist than the douche.

    not quite. she's an authoritarian to be sure, but drumpf is an extreme totalitarian [politicalcompass.org] and is very much a fascist [wikipedia.org]. hillary is evil too, for sure, but there is literally nothing that she can be hated for being/doing that drumpf doesn't also do except many times worse. hillary is for the status quo, which includes the inevitable slide towards fascism, but drumpf represents jumping immediately to it, concentration camps and all.
