@agger_modspil reframed his OWN point in his reply to me.
No, he didn’t. He only tried to make you understand what everyone else already understood. That insisting on something isn’t the same as absolutely requiring it.
you’re not addressing a huge part which is: this is a corporation.
A poor argument. I could care less what a group of people calls themselves, they are still people with social responsibilities whether they attempt to hide behind paperwork, legalese or not.
“This is a corporation” means nothing. It’s just a tired excuse to pass self-responsibility away from people. The mark of an apologist.
It’s HuffPo…
Yet another fallacious argument.

A tired tactic and diversion from facts brought forward. Attacking the source’s name, instead of the specific content brought forward isn’t really a tactic I can respect in this case.
In any case they list in the very article what to do if you don’t want these things shared:
And, you miss the point once again. Google shouldn’t require that you opt-out of privacy invasion and lose functionality in the process.
You still have the choice of whether to email people who have gmail addresses or not.
Not in the real world.
If someone emails me with a gmail address and I refuse to respond because of their choice in email provider I will not be in business very long. Also, if I fill out a form on a website and they quote my text and respond back with a gmail address, I had no control over that scenario. “Free market” solutions are a neo-libertarian myth that ignores greater, complicated externalities that affects far more people than you’re accounting for.
Snarkily driving trollies people who disagree with you
Once again, please quit projecting. You’ve been misrepresenting and exaggerating two other posters’ positions and mine along with throwing out numerous false arguments, ad hominem, etc. while blatantly sidestepping points, links/sources that’ve been presented to you.
I take issue with several of the things you say but I’m tired of this discussion.
As am I. It’s just best that we agree to disagree.
My links and sources along with Google’s despicable, well-documented track record speaks for itself quite well.
