I created a google takeout and in that zip file I found some files containing a ton of data about me. It has logged every single page I visited while using the google search engine and chrome browser. It even logged every single time I opened an app on my old android phone. It even has VOICE RECORDINGS of me and a log of every time I used google assistant. This is just some of the data and I’m very sure there is even more data they have.

    They may even save every Google meet meeting for all we know. They may train their AI on how our faces look in meetings.

    Nothing is too creepy for Google.

    don’t forget if you have location enabled in your phone it tracks every single place you’ve been to

    What’s even scarier is that takeout is probably only the data they want you to see, or are legally obliged to share.

    I would be willing to wager they have lots more on you that you’re not even aware of.

    Fortunately you can degoogle many Android phones. And stop using big tech products in general. They have a lot of issues, not only a complete lack of privacy

        A pixel, if you buy into GrapheneOS being the pinnacle of security. Otherwise, anything with an unlockable bootloader and LineagOS support.

          It’s actually quite ironic that the best phone to degoogle your life is sold by google.

    The worst part, is even when you try to avoid, you cant.

    You send an email from proton, to mostly gmail account, now they have your email.

    You mean your business, the guy next to you talk to google home, and you get recorded.

    Every time I 'm forced to use a google account by some 3rd party, I get a panic attack from how predatory it is to get you to give them your data, you cant log out without 4 clic, it is a true dystopia we let that compagny rule our world
