Google announces privacy settings change across products, users can’t opt out

Google said Tuesday it will require users to allow the company
to follow their activities across e-mail, search, YouTube and other services,
a radical shift in strategy that is expected to invite greater scrutiny of its privacy and competitive practices.

The information will enable Google to develop a fuller picture of how people use
its growing empire of Web sites. Consumers will have no choice but to accept the changes.
The policy will take effect March 1 and will also impact Android mobile phone users,
who are required to log-in to Google accounts
