Since it’s mostly free, there has to be a catch. I may be wrong, but since it’s Google, there’s always a catch nowadays.

    Honestly, this is kind of a weird question. It’s Google. They collect all of it. Every picture, every note, every keystroke. All of it.

    The answer to "what information does GOOGLE SERVICE collect is always all of it.

    You can read their privacy policy, but I think you know the answer already. All of those things are stored 100% unencrypted on their servers, so you’re trusting Google 100% with all of your data.

    people can scare u and say they’re collecting everything :O which sounds scary til u realize u dont matter as a person and the data is stuff like where are your trends and interests so information and advertising given to you is tailored better

    obviously the problem with that is it can easily tailor propaganda and be manipulative but thats what marketing is anyways and youre influenced whether you like it or not

    be more concrete with how you feel about the world and create a relatively reliable bullshit detector. nothing is good or bad theres nuance in everything.

    its not bad or good that they have our data really nobody knows the implications (because realistically and currently there are none except the fact its exploitative and essentially digital free labor. which we should demolish capitalism not people working in a broken system)

      The problem isn’t that they know about me or you. Or that they know wherever we go and everything about us, more than our family or closest friends. That matters too of course, but the bigger problem is that they know this information about everyone and will know it forever. The issue is systemic privacy. Whenever things go to shit, which they will and partly already have, you’ll be sorry for not caring about privacy. Caring about personal privacy is rebellion and doing your part in the fight for privacy for everyone
