All swearwords, all the time. Generally puns on the servers purpose.

Or am I reading this wrong and this is just because they have to send your data to the brokers to process deletions?

You are reading it correctly.

If they only used your data to process deletions, it would read along the lines of “data shared with partners as necessary to provide (data deletion, etc) services.”

It should also normally be followed by a sentence that links to each partners privacy policies, and says that each partner complies with similar restrictions on using your data only for the same purposes listed in the earlier sentence.

It’s the future now. All restaurants are Taco Bell.

Yeah. Their own lawyers have the best chance, but there’s so many pages, combined, I wonder if even one of their lawyers has read everything

Exactly. I don’t think I’m alone in feeling that Google’s clever privacy engineering isn’t enough to keep any of us safe.

Google’s expectation that we be okay with these practices feels like corporate gaslighting, to me.

To the best of my knowledge - from a spirited but doomed attempt to read Google’s privacy policies - Google is committed to deleting your location history after sharing it with 10,000 or so vendor partners.

Each of those vendor partners have pinky promised to comply with the rules outlined in the same privacy policy that I failed to read.

For context, I’m not convinced any living person has read the entirety of Google’s privacy policies.

Sadly, I’m quite confident - by the law of averages, human nature, and corporate corruption - that not all 10,000 trusted partners also deletes our location data history.

Google does take privacy preserving steps to anonymyze what it shares.

My educated opinion is that no amount of attempted anonymozation is sufficient for the breadth, scope and quantity of data that Google collects.

Shorter answer for you: yes, I believe that is a corporate lie. True only in technicality, but likely false by any reasonable persons expectation of what “delete” means.

Ooh, great point!

Simon Tatham’s Puzzles contains many classic puzzle games and many more that are destined to be future classics.

Pixel Dungeon a rogue-like that is very like Rogue.

Luanti a game engine that runs an Open Source massively moddable Minecraft clone, among other games.

TL;DR - Google makes (arguably insane) claim that it previously acted responsibly with regards to fingerprinting, and says they will begin acting irresponsibility with fingerprinting in February.

Practical take-aways you probably already knew:

• Today’s Google may do or say anything to make an extra nickel.
• Today’s Google, while it employs some excellent privacy minded engineers, has not demonstrated an organizational commitment to user privacy.
• It is probably wise to assume that the next serious data breach at Google will end marriages, get politicians arrested, get famous people canceled, fuel successful scammers, and have every other privacy impact you can imagine. We know the Google data pool is massive, and we have reason to believe it is incredibly personal. I’m aware that Google has anonymozation solutions in play, and I do not believe those solutions will be effective in a breach scenario.
• I believe that the average person will likely be better off ten years from now if they interact less with Google services.

Everyone is losing their minds because they’re afraid there’ll be a run on popcorn, not because anyone will miss a waste of space healthcare CEO.

If people don’t feel like we can make things better with negotiation, this is where it goes. I’m not up for pretending I didn’t see this coming.

This may be good time to be an experienced professional body guard, because there’s a lot of healthcare CEOs left and no way was the alleged attacker (I didn’t see shit!) the only person they’ve hurt.

Really shitty ones, but yeah.

they want poor who can work to stay alive and live as their obedient slaves that serve them.

Minor clarification.

More people should figure this out. Star Trek is essential to a healthy media diet.

I also recommend a regular dose of stand-up comedy.

Right. It’s different in that it lacks Google Framework Service, and adds a bunch of privacy controls, like additional quick toggles to control the cameras, and microphone, the way other Android can quick toggle the flashlight and location servcies and bluetooth.

The biggest thing is substantially more granular per app permissions, controlled from a calentral interface in settings.

Oof. Even investors (who aren’t billionaires) are getting shafted by the current deal.

Stock performance has been utter shit, because the SEC (and equivalents) aren’t blocking illegal company mergers and acquisitions.

Not a bad plan, but it’s way easier to be born into an emerald mining fortune.

I setup a mail forward, and check the ‘to’ address to all incoming messages for about a year.
