Updated Google terms of service can use your reviews and photos for ‘endorsements’

Based on a new terms of use announced on Friday, Google will be able to collect your comments and ratings on Play Store or any of its products and sell these to companies as “shared endorsements” to be used for online advertising. The new policy will go live on November 11 and will display users’ names, photos, and comments beside things liked, reviewed, followed, or positively commented on. You can opt out of the feature for now through this page.
