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.

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
u gave zero reasons or counter arguments u just said “im scared of god sending me to hell just in case he exists”
ur scared of a phantom, a possibility. nobody is going to regret anything. you’ll be ok
I do not fear a possibility I fear an inevitability.
lol if u say so
ill start guzzling dextro again if ur right just for u. i may need to borrow some tinfoil tho i don’t want them sucking my ad preferences out of my brain :O
Ah you don’t matter since you’re just one person, right? Then tell me your address, payment information, every friend you have, how often you spend with each of them, and where you go with them.
and if i did what would you do with it
aside from payment info which is necessary info to give unless ur a crypto bro u cant do anything with that info
shitty retort but good try ig
This argument doesn’t really work, unfortunately. This is a corporation we are talking about (one that is trusted by the majority of normies as well), not a random person. It’s not really equivalent
My perspective is that security breaches of companies are a guaranteed inevitability. What information we give them will end up in the hands of someone we don’t want to have access to it.
