Google’s Terms of Service

Policy Primer SP3 2013Net303

When Google gives you something for free, understand that there is no such

thing as a free lunch.

In Italy Where there are less users off the Internet, Google gave away

many Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0

If you bought a Washing Machine

Google would give you a free Samsung Galaxy Tab 2

7.0

In May 2013 I bought a new washing machine and received a new Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. It was couriered to my door 1 week

after purchase. I was so happy

The next day I went to get my hair done and brought with me my new

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. During my Colour, wash, cut and blow dry, I

discovered Google hasn’t given me…

A free Lunch!!!

As I read the Terms and Conditions I also found this…

• When using this device a Google Account must be created.

When One First Uses the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 one is obligated to make a Google account or the device does not

let the user continue and navigate.

So this “Free” object is given to a user on the condition that they

make a Google Account.

• No free lunch here

Giving your details and making an account with Google does not

mean that your information is safe.

Terms of Service States…

Google gives you a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 in exchange for your details butthere is no guarantee that your information used under your profile is secure.

(Google, 2013)

You use the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, and you find your favorite service

suspended. This makes you an irate customer.

The irate customer may have been searching and researching

important issues such as obesity in Google Health.

Only to find this…

(Google, 2013)

Google works fast! There is a 14 day period before changes are made after the alteration to the terms of service is made

public (Google, 2013)

14 days is a short time to..

Another action that may happen without your knowledge when

using Google is their “automated updating service” (Google, 2013)

• About Software in our ServicesWhen a Service requires or includes downloadable

software, this software may update automatically on your device once a new version or feature is available. Some Services may let you adjust your automatic update settings (Google, 3013)

So Google monitors the software we use and fixes it without any privacy breach. Like someone washing and

fixing your car without you knowing.• That’s a surprise!

Eli Pariser states that Google filters the Internet by giving users what

Google believes they want to receive in searches (Pariser, 2011)

Monitoring software and updating the services may lead to controlled

searches and filtering.

• Searching the same word from a different area or computer, may change the result.

For Example…

• If one person searches Egypt they may get this

If another person searches Egypt, they may get something totally different, like this.

(Pariser, 2011)

(Pariser, 2011)

So Google gives you in searches what they believe you want to see

(Pariser, 2011)

• The privacy policy states,

(Google, 2013)

If Google has the power to give me information based on the country I

live in and the language spoken in that country I may have trouble in searches

• This is because I am an English Speaking Australian, currently living in Italy.

Who you are, where you live and what you post is most important.

Google’s Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 is given to you in exchange for your

detail, posts and searches. No Free lunch here.
