To Google: Did that slider feature say “Off” to “Tracking?”

If so, you lose.

But, but, no one can track me, my cell phone is pass word protected! /s/

I’ve been told that by a few people. Also when I tell some folks their texts, pictures, whereabouts, and recordings can be accessed I get that look like they think I’m stupid. Tell them their cell phone can be used to record them, then they really laugh.

Americans are so dumb they deserve to be tracked.

After the lawyers take their cut, and expenses, the actual users will each receive, well a number that is so small it will not even purchase a small modest fast food breakfast. And Google, they write this off as a business expense and go on about their business of spying on everyone they can. Google does have a motto: “Do Evil” or similar, I believe.

Would be nice if big business and big government didn’t spy on us

Be very wary of Big Tech, because Big Tech spies for Big Brother.

How will I know what I’m interested in if Google doesn’t track and tell me?

G**gle is the largest and most pervasive censor and manipulator of information that has ever existed ...






... at least on this planet.



G**gle exists entirely to modify what you think by controlling what you see and read. If you use any G**gle product (without first making some technically astute modifications), you're as much as begging for Progressive Indoctrination and/or a proctological exam every time you fire up a PC or handheld digital device.

My next phone, after the present Motorola, will be a Linux Pine phone.

Pocket change, Cost of doing business.

Isn't that really their *main* business? Tricking people into being targets of spying?
