Shocking news! The all-seeing eye of Google.

in #life6 years ago

Google does not hide the fact that it eavesdrops on its users, but it does not advertise it, to put it mildly. The Internet giant not only records conversations, but also stores them on its own servers. And the robot "eavesdrops" on you not only when the smartphone is turned on, but also when it simply lies close to you, for example, on the desktop.

Why does Google need this? The company explains the eavesdropping with the need to collect and analyze information, which will later help the algorithm to select advertising for you according to interests. It does not sound so scary, but! First, personal information can fall into the wrong hands if someone hacks your account. Secondly, if you happen to have any conflict or just a misunderstanding with the authorities, your company will have to transfer your conversations to the appropriate authorities. Thirdly, frankly speaking, "tailored" for the interests of users of advertising often does not fall completely under these very interests and only in vain annoying the user. In this case, the collection of information becomes simply meaningless.

However, to the credit of the company, Google does not hide the fact of collecting personal data, so anyone can log in to their account and clean the information collected there.

Here (https://myactivity.google.com/myactivity?restrict=vaa) stores all data from your smartphone's microphone. If there is nothing here, then you have not yet used the voice assistant, that is, you never said: "OK, Google."

But the complete file (Welcome to My Activity), which you collected Google, based on what you do on the Internet.

Among other things, there is information about where and when you were (more precisely, your phone); all that you were looking for on the Internet; all the pages that you downloaded. Fortunately, convenient navigation allows you to quickly and without a trace remove everything
