Microsoft has been running an online anti-Google campaign for quite a while. The aim of the campaign is to expose Google's data stealing and spying on their users. It has released apps, parodies and now it has dedicated an entire area in the
Microsoft Store for the new Holiday "
Scroogled" merchandise and it is now on sale. The Scroogled merchandise includes cups/mugs that read "Keep Calm While We Steal Your Data" and "Don't Get
Scroogled",
T-shirts that also read "Keep Calm While We Steal Your Data" and "I'm Watching You".
There's also a hat and a hoodie.
On the
Scroogled blog, they have posted about their new store which explains:
"From the start, Scroogled has been dedicated to exposing Google’s violations of your privacy. We’ve shown you how Google goes through every single word of every single email sent to or from your Gmail account to target you with ads, how they serve up shopping results that are actually paid ads, how they share your contact information with app developers, how they monetize web searches that students do in school, and even how they say email users have no expectation of privacy. The list goes on and on."
