Did you know that unlike searching on DuckDuckGo, when you search on Google, they keep your search history forever? That means they know every search youve ever done on Google. That alone is pretty scary, but its just the shallow end of the very deep pool of data that they try to collect on people.
What most people dont realize is that even if you dont use any Google products directly, theyre still trying to track as much as they can about you. Google trackers have been found on 75% of the top million websites. This means they're also trying to track most everywhere you go on the internet, trying to slurp up your browsing history!
Most people also dont know that Google runs most of the ads you see across the internet and in apps you know those ones that follow you around everywhere? Yup, thats Google, too. They arent really a search company anymore theyre a tracking company. They are tracking as much as they can for these annoying and intrusive ads, including recording every time you see them, where you saw them, if you clicked on them, etc.
But even thats not all

Start first by moving to Protonmail for all communications.
Google and FB have the ability to read personal email and WhatsApp communications.
Yahoo mail is practically a virus.
“So, when Google has 75 million bits of documents about this or 4 trillion of that, what practical good does it do them?”
The difference is that unlike paper documents, those electronic bits can be scanned for information very quickly, and Google is very good at that.
Betcha the CIA had some seed money involved with Google and still is reaping the benefits. They don’t have to break the law as much to keep taps on the public, we voluntarily tell them where we are and what we are doing on our phones.
About the only thing I have left google I “think” is gmail for a private account. I have used Duckduckgo as a search engine for many years.
Last time I googled my own name was very recently and very shocking. They had my name, address, income, religious leanings [which they got laughingly wrong] even a gauge of what kind of person I was. The site was way more in depth than expected, and generally right on the money.
Google your neighbors and coworkers.....
You may be shocked!...................
Happy goldfish bowl!..................
I have. Apparently I've barely left a wake in this world. Took scrolling through thirty pages of results to find myself.
But you ARE THERE, just the same...........................
What goes on the Internet STAYS ON THE INTERNET!......................
Barely. I'm one of only a handful of people who can read that page and tie it to me.
Now, FR is another thing. I've logged over 62,000 posts here, but Google don't know that ;-)
Wanna bet?.....................

Dude, that is scary!
Google is everywhere....................
Well sure, Google has a bunch of hits for “Windflier”, but who the heck is that? No one knows.
The NSA does................If they cared to look.................
