Google is Beast

Now Google wants you to be able to use your phone to make purchases, so they can sell more of your info to advertisers.



From Huffington Post:
NEW YORK -- Google is poised to announce a new cellphone-based payment system that would enable the Internet giant to tap into a new treasure trove of personal data and allow the company to do what it does best: sell ads.

Google will reportedly unveil smartphones equipped with near-field communication (NFC) technology that enables shoppers to pay for purchases by waving their phones over scanners at retailers' registers.
Building a 'digital wallet' will help Google grow its advertising business by collecting even more valuable data about its users, which it can in turn leverage to attract retailers eager to learn more about their customers.

Call me crazy but wouldn't this just make stealing peoples' phones mean you have their wallet also? Just snag someone's iPhone and boom, instant credit. Sounds dangerous to me. Fucking Google is taking over the entire world, one person's personal information at a time. And they are making an unheard of amount of cash already on our info, now it's only going to get worse.
