Who here is buying things with or through Google? Who actually has ever used "Google Pay"? Hell, I make it my religious duty to keep my GMAIL account under 15GB at all times, so I never, ever, ever have to reveal any of my banking information to Google.

I would expect nothing less of Hacker News veterans.

Thank you, Hacker News friend! Worth the downvote, to get this information.

I assume anyone commenting in here has an online subscription to the New York Times, and thus they can read the article.

I can't. (read the paywalled article.) What does it say?

Why do we even need the U.S. Government to track people, when Apple, Google and Facebook are falling all over themselves to do it for free?
