Google tracks what you spend offline to prove its online ads work. And privacy folks are furious

"Any citizen complaining against Google is complaining to the wrong entity, if you want privacy to be a right you need to let your politicians know that not protecting your privacy via legislation and regulation will cost them your votes."

Votes are totally irrelevant in this game, it's a game of money. And it's very simple: You don't have any money, Google has a lot.

Therefore Google buys the laws as they want and your voting doesn't change anything, ever. _Every one representative will be bought immediately_. Combine that to basically permanent seats and it is very, very cheap for Google to do that, they'll get tens of years of service out of one paid congresscritter. Ref: Hollywood-Hollings.

That means that the Google, entity writing the laws in practise, is exactly correct target for complaining.
