Google’s privacy principles conundrum

One of the line in this Privacy Principles video confused me a tad. It says “[…] and we don’t sell user information to other companies” (at 1:43). Technically, isn’t that just what Google does with AdSense, going as far as using the notorious DoubleClick DART cookie.

To be fair, they’re still one of the best companies when it comes to managing your privacy settings, so I’m not that worried about it. Just like when I walk in the street, I expect a certain loss of privacy when I’m online, especially when/if I opt-in to use a company’s services. Technically, it’s actually far easier to manage or control one’s privacy online than it is walking in said streets nowadays (CCTV, etc).
