Ouch! Hardly any of those give the end-user any benefits at all! Targeted advertisements make a *little* bit of sense, or at least they would have 10 years ago! Nowadays ads are old hat!
Google knows what apps are on a phone. I understand that because if I buy an application, it's stored in a server, so if I lose my phone I can still download the apps without buying them again.
For the most part, #Google has a very unethical database 😿

#Google removes #Kodi from search autocomplete in anti-piracy effort - the article state "But, while Kodi is legal software, it remains a space that enables piracy, akin to platforms like BitTorrent."... Yes, like any general purpose computer. 🙄 https://www.theverge.com/2018/3/29/17176894/google-removes-kodi-search-autocomplete-anti-piracy

“What keeps people glued to #YouTube? Its #algorithm seems to have concluded that people are drawn to content that is more extreme than what they started with — or to incendiary content in general.
YouTube leads viewers down a rabbit hole of #extremism, while #Google racks up the ad sales."

@Lopinel it's a good illustration of the @fsf campaign : the cloud is someone else computer..
I don't see another way for #Google to collect off-line transactions..
Imagine what Amazon soon can do with the #data collected in their cloud by too many companies..
Has someone read the #AWS #CGU ? I guessed they give themselves the right to pick in the data..

"It was reported that Google specifically blocked an Android application, from the Google Play Store, that showed people voting locations in Catalonia (during their independence vote).
Why would Google (or any other co.) want to make it hard for people to vote on any issue? Could this happen anywhere? Deeply troubling."
