Starting on March 1st (tomorrow) you will no longer be allowed to disable your Google web history, which is essentially a file with your name on it where they are able to keep tabs on the majority of what you do online, and sell this information to whoever is willing to give them money for it.
Additionally, if you're using the google chrome web browser, I say get rid of it. These wankers are obviously doing everything they can to strip you of any bit of privacy you may still have and make money off of your information. Don't allow them to take advantage of you!
This is not some paranoid conspiracy, it is real.
I share this because I care about my fellow LTGers.
Please take 3 minutes to protect yourself.

Easy as that. Have a good one!
P.S. I'm pretty sure this only effects people with a google account or any associated account; for example I'm pretty sure you have to have a google account to have a youtube user account. Basically, if all you do on the internet is use LTG and check your non-google affiliated email account, you should be in the clear. But they have their fingers in almost everything these days, so I would not take this lightly.
