Thanks Avri, I suspected as much. imho, we need to have clear rules in 
place, made democratically, ("regulation") to ensure that a monopoly 
provider cannot so easily extract personal/social information for 
private gains.... Your individual good practice cannot be seen as a real 
global solution (for reasons which I have already mentioned, as to why 
Google is  a monopoly)
