Google’s entire business model is based on you surrendering to their corporate surveillance. That’s it. All they do is repackage mass corporate surveillance into convenient, free, trendy applications that suck up all your data. Your private data helps Google dominate the online advertising market.

You are the product.

The other key issue to consider here is that Google is tracking and recording your activity in order to build a user profile, which can be used for various purposes. Google has many ways to track your activity, even if you are not logged into a Google account:

Tracking through Google Adsense (all those annoying banner ads you see on most websites also function as tracking)
Tracking through YouTube and other Google-owned platforms and products
Tracking through websites that use Google Analytics (most websites use Google analytics – but not Restore Privacy)
All the data that Google collects about you is usually monetized through targeted advertising (Google is now the largest advertising company in the world). Your data may also be provided to government authorities (Google has been cooperating with governments for mass surveillance since 2009).

I read some articles on google from the past couple years to recent ones, and they talked with many execs that either work there now, or recently left google.

Many complaints that:
- google is unrecognizable from just a few years back
- their employee base is becoming very politically outspoken and difficult, and its causing external problems
- tough to get things approved. either theyre too scared to try something bold, or they take too long to think about it.

A handful of mentions about how one of their NPCs employees short circuits, then turns on google by whistle blowing or invoking wokeness.

I think it would be terrific if their commie employee situation turned into a public soap opera with google going down in flames, showing business leaders everywhere what happens when you dont smack down entitled bratty wokies. But I can only dream about it for now.

I know a guy who joined Google a year ago. He says that the Gmail project is in disarray because so many people left.

Made me happy.
