at first I read that one header as “We’re Not Changing”
“Even if they are not linked, services can still share data” Isn’t that the whole point!?
EU, aka the illusion of changes to make good impression while catching 🤝US dollars at the EU parliment
Least cynical american.
Text transcript for the blind :
Keep your Google services, like YouTube, linked?
YouTube, Google Search, Google Play, Ad services, Google Chrome, Google Shopping & Google Maps.
New laws in the EU mean that, starting on March 6, 2024, Google needs your consent if you want to keep these services linked. When linked, they can share data with each other and with all other Google services to :
- Combine data to help personalize content and ads.
- Develop and improve our services.
- Measure and improve the delivery of ads
- Perform other purposes described in Google’s Privacy Policy at g.co/privacypolicy
Things to know : Other settings let you control whether you see personalized content or ads. Linking Google services is not about sharing your data with third-party services.
What data is used : All types of personal data described in Google’s Privacy Policy can be shared across linked Google services.
What’s not changing : Even if they’re not linked, Google services can always share data with each other to prevent fraud and abuse, effectively help you complete tasks, and for certain other purposes.
You’re in control. You can change your choices anytime in your Google Account. Choices will take effect on March 6, 2024. Learn more about linked services. (I don’t have the link to transcribe).

Oh man thank you I always forget, sorry, didn’t think about it.
Remember! YOU are in control.
So basically nothing changed.
Things most certainly changed. Now google has to beg me for it. Come on Google, beg. But maybe your point is that resistance is futile and why even try to fight it just give in and let it happen. I don’t know but mama didn’t raise no quitter, I don’t know about you but to each his own eh.
It’s not good enough. Google must DIE <3 ◉‿◉
Waiting for the perfect solution that might never come without doing anything in the meantime accomplishes nothing.
I do plenty.
You still using Gmail? 🧐I was talking about law making not you specifically.
Just ban Google already 😈
This is the EU slowly doing what it can.
“Kill cancer already”? Ok, for that we need to do testing and advanced chemistry for a long time. This IS how you get rid of it, there is no other way.
This is one battle in the long war, my friend. If you want to kill them, these kinds of steps are absolutely essential. You can’t just go back in time and snipe Hitler, you have to fight on the beaches, on the fields and in the streets, and you must never surrender.
Good. The more people realize is being spied on, the better.
If the thing that’s shared is sso then I’m fine with that, but I would also not mind having 3+ accounts if it meant less tracking
