I created a google takeout and in that zip file I found some files containing a ton of data about me. It has logged every single page I visited while using the google search engine and chrome browser. It even logged every single time I opened an app on my old android phone. It even has VOICE RECORDINGS of me and a log of every time I used google assistant. This is just some of the data and I’m very sure there is even more data they have.

      Totally. I’m not saying it’s better security just that in a situation like that I’m not really worried about what’s going on with my phone.

        Thats kinda fucked up. So you dont mind if all the conversations with your friends get published publicly?

        You’re not a good friend.

          My friends don’t want to use end to end encrypted platforms so it’s one data leak from being public anyway.
