In just a few hours, new policies will take effect at Google, endangering your privacy.

Tech publication Gizmodo reports, "things you could do in relative anonymity today [like your web searches], will be explicitly associated with your name, your face, your phone number come March 1st." And this applies retro-actively if you don't act today.

So, if you have a google, you tube or gmail account associated with a google login, log into your account.

Then go to this link:

https://www.google.com/history

delete your history, and make sure it comes back empty and "paused".

Thanks, Don. Just checked and it seems mine was already deleted and paused. Nevertheless, it's good to be sure.

I didn't either, but the default is "on" so I found most of my friends were feeding the google spy machine.

I deleted my Google account and got rid of my android phone that could only backup to Google.
