Google fires back at "dishonest" Microsoft ad



From DailyTech:
If you read the story yesterday about Microsoft trying to take advantage of Google's woes centering on its new change in privacy policies and had mental images of pots and kettles; you aren't alone. Microsoft is trying to woo consumers that use Google services over to similar Microsoft services, and according to Google, the boys from Redmond aren’t being entirely truthful.

While Microsoft took to newspapers all around the country to make its claims, Google is taking to its official Public Policy Blog to refute the myths Microsoft and others are selling. The first myth Google refutes is that it made $36 billion selling information about users in 2011. Google says that it does not sell, trade or rent personally indefinable information about users of any of its services. It also notes that the ads it sells are placed by advertisers and target specific keywords.
