That is beside the point. You said they didn't have your express permission...they did. It isn't Google's fault if you fail to read their ToS, or fail to explore your account once in a while to see what (if anything) they are storing about you. I disabled Web History when it first came out, but I'd known they were tracking every search I made (as most search engines do, btw) from day 1.

PLUS strawman fallacy. I'm allowed to change my mind at any time .
I hold that if you'd actually given a crap about your privacy before this new policy was announced, you would have left Google years ago. Like I said before, they are not collecting any extra data about you; they have been openly collecting the same data for years. This isn't some big revelation about what they know about you...
So my point still stands. Perhaps you really do care about your privacy; you still didn't care enough about it before to bother checking what you'd signed up for. That is your problem.
Also, I don't believe I said you couldn't change your mind. I just find your reasoning for suddenly leaving Google a bit absurd.
