Remember that truism about a computer bug being a feature? There is an old Latin phrase that we should be thinking about here; "Cui bono", whom does this 'feature' benefit? Google states that they are clear about how they track their users but much less so on how they are using that data for their sales and research.

While this specifies Alphabet/Google, take it for certain that many other tech companies will be found to do similar things. I may be naive, but of them all, it appears that Apple is the one with the best reputation for preserving privacy. That being said, we all must educate ourselves on this and other privacy issues.

Jail a few google executives, and this will stop.

For years I’ve been able to go into my account in google and see everywhere I (my phone) have been going back years. I actually like this info. If nothing else, it would prove my innocence if falsely accused of being somewhere I wasn’t - Or my guilt if I was somewhere I shouldn’t have been.

I’ve said for over a decade that if you plan on doing something bad like abduct a child or rob a bank, don’t bring your phone.

Who would trust Google? Chrome is spyware.

Put your cell phone in a 'Faraday cage,' available online and tell Google and other nasty trackers to go piss up a rope.

Heh, and we thought no one or no organization could out sleeze Dorkbama the Muslim eunuch quota boy or the bottom-dwelling Clintons.

Google is the absolute bottom limit of lying, sleeze and smell.

May as well take care of San FranSh*tco . We’ll get Google, and the country’s first third country city. Maybe even Pelosi too.

Triple good!

This is why I kept my old Nokia 3585 for so long.
