14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft and some other mobile phone manufacturers have recently filed an EU antitrust campaign against Google, claiming that it uses the Android mobile phone operating system to promote its services such as YouTube and Google Maps.
Now the company has updated the Scroogled campaign to show everyone that Google shares users’ personal info with app makers, explaining that the Mountain View-based search giant violates your privacy not only with Gmail and the Shopping service, but also with mobile apps.
“When you buy an Android app from the Google app store, they give the app maker your full name, email address and the neighborhood where you live. This occurs without clear warning every single time you buy an app. If you can't trust Google's app store, how can you trust them for anything?” Microsoft claims.
Of course, similar attempts are very likely to be released in the near future, so keep an eye on the Scroogled page to make sure you find about Microsoft’s newest anti-Google efforts.
