My communication skills are not the point of this discussion, sir. And if you think Google is a server, I pray you’re not an IT manager. Google is much more than “a server.”
I also never made the case that they’re cataloging personal information, but they are cataloging ingress and egress points for network traversal. Since your personal IP address, at home or work or your phone, is ostensibly linked to your existence, they ARE cataloging your browsing habits. And whether those habits are for marketing purposes or forensic, they have that information on you and are going to have that information on you for the foreseeable future. This is not baseless conjecture, it’s documented, verifiable proof.
I never claimed to know it all, but when it comes to DNS, I have a particular interest considering decades of work in the industry and years of research with DNS, DNS replication, and Internet communications.
Again, I am not writing for you. Again, I understand what you are talking about. Again, I agree with you. Again, and finally, aside from you and me, there are about seven other posters on FR who can understand you. The rest of FR members never look under the hood. So talk to your audience, resist showboating your expertise or you will lose your audience. I posit readers can relate to what I rather simply said vs. your coherent and correct explanation.
