Lol, shit. More than 15 years, an obscene amount of data collected, so many services and emails...
It's so sad that all the incredible engineering and innovation from #Google is so tainted by corporate policy, but in spite if how reliant on google I have been - despite how much I value some of the services and immense scale they support... I'm done
Their involvement in US drone tech and other govt projects is a red line for me
Much <3 to the engineers there resisting

Wir brauchen kein #facebook kein #whatsapp kein #google keine dieser #walledgardens
Was wir aber dringend brauchen ist ein freies und dezentrales Internet, ohne die Möglichkeit der #zensur und Organisationen wie die @fsf @fsfe
Es ist an der Zeit für Veränderung❗❗

Gmail's upcoming self-destructing emails will require the recipients to click on a link and log in with their #Google accounts to see the content, if they are accessing via IMAP/SMTP.
Don't be fooled: Google's purpose is not to give us more confidentiality. They want all of their users to access their mailboxes via the Gmail app or their web interface, so they are creating a burden to the recipients and calling it “security” to convince people to adopt it.

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

This is very bad news for the entire IT landscape → « A federal court just revived #Oracle's multi-billion dollar copyright case against #Google » https://cnb.cx/2E0FcjQ

“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."
