- Try clicking on the various channels to see videos posted to that channel - if you're into music you can click the Music channel to get more music sifts - go on and explore!

  Enter the Sift Lounge to chat with online sifters about anything and everything, or read interesting posts in the Sift Talk forum.
  The Top New Videos list is always full of interesting, current videos. It is always recommended that you have a look through the Top New Videos, but also have a look at these:
  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?
  Post and share it here - VideoSift is the best video aggregator on the Web, where we share, discuss, promote, and interact with the best videos out there on the web. Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

Hot on Your Trail: Privacy, Your Data, and Who Has Access

submitted by Warren E. Hale

"It doesn't take a top-secret government spy agency armed with the latest surveillance gear to gather information about you.

Every day, companies are gathering and sharing information about you, even when you aren't logged in.

They are hot on your data trail. So are law enforcement agents, IRS investigators, and private attorneys, who can gain access to more information about your private life with a subpoena or a court order, which has a lower standard of proof than a search warrant.

Self promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Thursday, October 3rd, 2013 1:03pm PDT - promote requested by original submitter MrFisk.

Not to be paranoid or anything..., but I'm starting to get paranoid!

Uhh, if this is a surprise to anyone they have been under a rock for a decade. Cookies, really? What is this, 1997?

cookies is how they do this, also google has opt out options for turning off things, and simply turning off data/gps tracking stops alot of the tracking. to be fair, Apple is as bad/worse with iCloud tracking basically everything. and everything saved on their servers is their property just to ad to the paranoia
