Google agrees to 'de-identify' / 'destroy' browsing data collected in Incognito mode !!!

When a Google employee enters a party he says "all the people here call me fucker".

99.95% of the stuff they say isn't true.

Googleganda.
 
They will probably do some shady shit like create a new company and send them the data and then pull analytics from that company. Then delete it and say “we deleted it!”
or just feed it to gemini and say

I'll connect with John Mueller and ask him if we can cooperate, so I get the data and then he removes.

SImple as that. A business opportunity.
 
All along I don't feel is so call Privacy online. No wonder what Tech companies can get your data as long you go online.

Yeah, it's well-known in this industry that companies pull stunts like that all the time. To people outside of the industry though, they might think of this as paranoia.

Speaking of which, did you know on psych forms, they sometimes ask patients questions in regards to stuff like this in attempt to identify paranoia? I remember one such question I was asked years ago was, "Do you believe apps on your phone are listening to you?"

It was alongside other paranoia-based questions, so I inquired about that and was told, "Yeah, so basically, do you think the mic in your phone is listening to you when you aren't talking on the phone or that the things you say are being collected and stored somewhere?"

In other words, the idea of apps with permission to access the microphone to regularly listen out for voice commands (e.g., Alexa or Google Assistant) and companies using the data for personalised ads is considered paranoia to some psychologists.

"Do you feel like you're being observed by cameras?"
I answer: "yes, they're everywhere.".

I'll give you olanzapine. See you in a month.

Then I had to find another psych.

They also gave me mirtazapine and I had weird dreams all the time haha. Stronk drug.

Edit: if you want to talk to people, don't answer "yes / no". Ask what they mean etc. They'll likely tell you it's not about that you saw cameras in the city and sometimes you feel like there's too many.

It would not surprise me at all if some do. They might even do it in a really sneaky way to avoid detection like listening and processing it all locally on the phone then just sending the analysis as a small encrypted packet.

I’ve also always assumed CIA/GCHQ have backdoors into most OSs through agreements or exploits.

Luckily I don’t have anything to hide so it’s never bothered me that much. Although I do still think it’s totally wrong.
 
they will backup the info and sell it for chunks when needed, that is a lot of money for them if they delete it or they will sell it and then delete it :D:D:D

I don't believe them in destroying
de-identify yes, they most likely do that route.
Can't see google burning money that they haven't collected yet.

totally didn't steal this from @RoiBox
IM SORRY
they will destroy the data, but not their backups :D
