問題詳情

四、閱讀測驗Millions of people send e-mails with Gmail, connect with friends via Google+, or search for a destination onGoogle Maps. While these services offer many noticeable benefits, some are worried that Google may be learningtoo much about its users. People are so used to a multitude of advertisements online that they don’t pay muchattention to what they contain. An inspection of the ones on Google’s sites, however, will show that they are closelyrelated to a person’s most recent Web searches or topics from his or her emails. This is possible through Google’snew consolidation of cookies, which began in 2012. Basically, Google uses the same cookies to follow usersthroughout their online journeys and keep records of everything they do. This information is then shared withthird-party Web sites that bombard users with ads that appear tailor-made for them. Internet policy-makers inFrance, the US, and Japan have expressed concerns about the practice and are researching the effects this couldhave on people’s privacy.As if scanning your e-mails to aggregate data for advertisers wasn’t bad enough, Google also wants to knowyour real name. When signing up for a Google account previously, users could input any name they wanted. Now,Google requires that a real name be kept on file or one’s account will be suspended. Critics argue that there is nolegitimate reason for Google to need this information. At the moment, opponents are trying to have the newrequirement voided but haven’t had luck so far.
