My friend, I am not talking about who has more data. I am talking about who is watching you. The majority of Google data is the websites they index. Acxiom are in the business of building profiles of everyone in America. They are number 1 with real data, profiling data, on over 100 million Americans and growing ... fast. If you are asking whether Google are watching you then the answer is "yes", but Acxiom are profiling you and selling your profile data wholesale including to government :)
