I created a google takeout and in that zip file I found some files containing a ton of data about me. It has logged every single page I visited while using the google search engine and chrome browser. It even logged every single time I opened an app on my old android phone. It even has VOICE RECORDINGS of me and a log of every time I used google assistant. This is just some of the data and I’m very sure there is even more data they have.

        A pixel, if you buy into GrapheneOS being the pinnacle of security. Otherwise, anything with an unlockable bootloader and LineagOS support.

          It’s actually quite ironic that the best phone to degoogle your life is sold by google.

    What’s even scarier is that takeout is probably only the data they want you to see, or are legally obliged to share.

    I would be willing to wager they have lots more on you that you’re not even aware of.

    They may even save every Google meet meeting for all we know. They may train their AI on how our faces look in meetings.

    Nothing is too creepy for Google.

    Friends don’t let friends use Google and meta. show those you care about what you have discovered. don’t lecture them just make them aware, share your findings.
