The fact that they want you to do this again every 4 weeks is downright laughable.

The fact that anyone in /privacy/ uses any google products or services is also quite laughable.

Nice gatekeeping bro, keep it up

I don't think that word means what you think it means

[-] wandermind@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 year ago

What does it mean then, if not implying that you're not a real Privacy user or cannot be interested in improving your privacy situation if you use Google products?

[-] aeternum@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

I honestly, i think it's the truth. You can't be a privacy enthusiast if you use google products. It's the antithesis of privacy.

What about someone who has been slowly degoogling themselves but isn't all the way there yet?

On that note, any suggestions for a privacy-friendlier alternative for my favorite but most difficult-to-replace Google service, location history?

[-] aeternum@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I think mosquito does location history. But it's usually self hosted.

That’s like worrying about privacy while using Facebook and tiktok. Moreover, accessing all of your personal information on a device created by Facebook.

[-] wandermind@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

I mean, you've got to start somewhere.

It will be more often than that. The ad topics will be generated in a rolling fashion so expirations will be staggered.

It says that they're auto deleted, there's no action needed every 4 week by the user.
