Why would they want to? They gather the info so they can make up some nice
stats to sell to some suit, and it keeps them afloat. I guess they could
allow us to access their services on a pay-per-use basis, but the tech is
still a little slow for that. :)

If you read the fine print, they only use the info for commercial purposes
as a whole, and they do not sell or pass any individual information on to
their advertisers.

I don't care what anyone says at this point, google is still my friend. :)
