Why? Because Google is run and owned by a bunch of scheming rats, that’s why.

I had an Android phone where this theft of my data got me so angry I tried to remove Google entirely. It simply rebooted itself in. Having worked as a contract worker for ATT I know if you try and jailbreak your phone, that is , you take over full control, the ATT network will no longer accept your phone.

iPhones are not innocent in this.

I recently ran a test of trying to use an old iPhone as a Hotspot to run a home network.

Much more data used as compared to an actual Hotspot device.

I took an Android, running Android 9, blocked all outgoing data with a firewall. With no sim card (thus no cellular data) and wifi off, the phone made 3212 outgoing data attempts to transmit my data to google’s servers. That is an attempt about every 30 seconds. What exactly, does google need all that information for? It tries to send what apps were opened, what ads were looked at, coarse location, fine location, maps information, and on and on. This is the ultimate spyware ever developed and it tries to know everywhere you go, everywhere you are, everything you do, look at, search.

What is it for? They use that data to control search order (most people never look past the first 10 results so that matters a lot), they control trending, they control search suggestions (that most people use), and what information you get to see. It is for control. It is about power. Who could have possibly guessed that 1984 would have come, and most google users love big brother so much they voluntarily give them all the intimate details of their lives.

Google is the most dangerous company and risk to your freedom that has ever existed.

May I suggest we use this “feature” as an OPPORTUNITY to express our disgust at BigTech, Magpie Media and the CommieCrat traitors.

Just search google for loaded words like those above or ask some questions...

I want tickets for President Trump’s 2020 inauguration.

If the Commies steal the election will President Trump become the first American Pinochet ?

What is the penalty for treason ?

Have some fun tweaking the AI over there.

This is why I keep data turned off on my phone most of the time.

So, Google is ripping off ad buyers by charging them for ads that are never actually displayed on users’ screens.

Why am I not surprised?

Two weeks ago, I was reading a book on Google Play Books. Over 900mb of communication took place while I was reading, pushing me over my AT&T limit.
