Google, which dominates much of life on the Internet, has been trying to expand beyond computers and telephones to living rooms, cars and bodies. It made its way a bit further into people’ s homes on Monday when it agreed to pay $3.2 billion in cash for Nest Labs, which makes Internet-connected devices like thermostats and smoke alarms.
Nest, which was started in 2010 by Tony Fadell and Matt Rogers, members of the teams that built the iPhone and iPod at Apple, will continue to operate independently under its own brand and expand its portfolio of connected versions of what it calls "unloved but important devices in the home." Mr. Fadell, Nest’s chief executive, will report to Larry Page, co-founder and chief executive of Google.
Internet companies are competing for the gateway through which people live every aspect of their lives—whether searching, socializing, reading, shopping, exercising or sleeping. Their businesses, particularly advertising, are built on watching the way people behave online. For Google, gaining visibility into people’s habits beyond computers and phones—whether watching television using Chromecast, taking a walk wearing Google Glass or managing their homes using Nest products— will provide a fuller picture of users.
"Google likes to know everything they can about us, so I suppose devices that are monitoring what’s going on in our homes is another excellent way for them to gather that information," said Danny Sullivan, a longtime Google analyst and a founding editor of Search Engine Land. "The more they’re tied into our everyday life, the more they feel they can deliver products we’ 11 like and ads."
Mr. Fadell said in an interview that he was aware of concerns among customers about Google having so much data about people, and that Google agreed that Nest’ s privacy policy—which says that Nest will use customer information only to improve its products and services—would remain unchanged. "That was a major concern or question we had, and they have done an amazing job of convincing us that our privacy policies are going to be well-respected in their organization," he said.
Still, Mr. Sullivan said, "History has shown that privacy policies do change." He added, "They won’t hand over Nest data to Google, and Google mines it for whatever they want, but there could be incentives or reasons why it might make sense to tie it to a Google account."
According to Mr. Fadell, we get to know that______.
选项
A、Nest’ s privacy policy has been changed by Google
B、Nest’ s privacy policy may remain unchanged for some time
C、Google will keep Nest’ s privacy policy till Nest changes it
D、privacy policy is made by Nest’ s users
答案
B
解析
根据题干关键词定位到第五段。由文中they have done an amazing job of con—vincing us that our privacy policies are going to be well—respected in their organization(他们非常有力地说服我们,他们的机构将极大地尊重我们的隐私政策)可知,谷歌暂时不会改变Nest的隐私政策,故B项“Nest的隐私政策在一段时间内不会改变”为正确答案。A项与题意相反,可排除。C项“谷歌将保持Nest的隐私政策,直到Nest改变它”无法推导出来,D项“隐私政策由Nest用户制定”属于无关信息,故排除。
