I wanted to ask about it when I first blocked it.

Huh?? How do you know? You only assume this from what google lets you know so 
sorry but this does not convince me.

And if people don't want to be tracked on every move they make they can simply 
keep up with the ways of tracking and use tor, NoScript, ... wear stupid masks 
against video surveillance in public, stop using mobile phones, stop using their 
registered cars, ... or move to a deserted island.

Sorry I have a problem with too much power in the hands of google alone.

Do we really need to support this? I mean I said I would try to keep my 
political believes apart but your "they don't store IPs" was too provoking.
