Privacy Invasion
Google has developed a service that track what you look at on the internet and provide you with adverts this has caused some outrage with some members of the public due to they feel that some of they're privacy is in fact being compromised. However, they urge that such increased ad effectiveness must be weighed against the impact on user privacy and the fact that there is no obvious consent given for such tracking.
