    Google “Only spy the web” is highly inaccurate…they are everywhere. In every website, in your android phone, in your YouTube, in your Google drive, in your email, in your Google maps…

    Anyways… I will calm down now. :)

        They are even part of paying for the massive underwater cables between continents that all internet traffic runs through.

        They took everything over.

        It’s the most extensive surveillance network in the world.

            Except that instead of an authoritarian government using it to totally control the learned populace, they are showing you ads.

            We’ve still got a way to go before 1984. If it did happen, you wouldn’t be able to discuss it.

      It’s cute, people think their android os isn’t collecting an embarrassing amount of data. Even if you turn everything off but cellular, it still phones home with cellular tower triangulation, app usage, call history, general web activity, weather the phone thinks your walking driving or riding a Bike, device diagnostics, etc.

          Same, I wish there was a better options. I’m on android right now but when it comes time to upgrade I always try to choose the lesser evil and it’s hard.

        I wish there was a paid google of no spying… I mean what does google one get me, but the ability for google to spy on more or my data?

          Everyone thinks about the spying as relating to themselves, the individual.

          Google doesn’t give a shit about you. Google gives a shit about us. Collectively. They can monitor the collective soul of the world. When people are busy, when they’re not paying attention, when they’re mad, who, and for how long; how they react to certain subjects…how to get them to listen about certain subjects, how to bring them around to certain subjects, how to keep them disagreeing with other viewpoints, etc.

          They’re literally developed “a remote control for the flock” and everyone’s out here like “why do I care if Google see my save games I have 500 hours in CoD so wut”
