Yes we know Google is trying to get some type of phone services off the ground and maybe that is the reason but Why are they insisting on SMS Codes to Activate Gmail Accounts.

No matter what they say this is potentially very bad.

Some Where Some Place the number you give Google has to be recorded.

If you check your gmail and stay logged in and then browse through some google searches OR IF YOU GO TO A WEBSITE THAT HAS GOOGLE EMBEDDED CONTENT a youtube video or ad banner or script…. Any instance where they can collect your IP … then they could… not saying they will … not saying it is their policy… BUT THEY COULD TRACK YOU!

That is scary boys and girls…

not only could they previously track you anonymously but now they can track you to a registered telephone … something you are not likely to fake.

So whats the big deal?

it is a big deal… and one step closer to what they do in china.

If Google has the ability to merge this data and Federal Agents force them to do so… It does not matter if google fights and crys and screams and kicks their way to the info… it will be handed over.

If not then the executives at Google will go to jail and that is not about to happen…..

THEY OPENED UP A BIG CAN OF WORMS JUST ASKING FOR THAT DATA

maybe not today or tomorrow but one day someone is going to be the example case and Google will be forced to release this information … they will be forced to collect this information … and your privacy is gone.

And remember this when ever your phone is on and they have the number… Google already has the ability to track your physical location. That is another service they offer….

REALLY SCARY OUT THERE
