soooo, no words spent on privacy? this is akin to paying someone to build a fence and gate for you, and then making sure they have a copy of the key at all time

soooo, no words spent on privacy? this is akin to paying someone to build a fence and gate for you, and then making sure they have a copy of the key at all times, and never asking them what they do with it... rhetorical question here, is it common practice prefer Internet servers which look cool and cost a ton and are managed by Google, and not discussing privacy issues? the consumer is being transformed into a marionette, and the issue isn't even mentioned in this article. beyond frustrating that it has come to this.

- fuersty 11y agoThe OnHub Terms of Service: "You agree that Google may collect and use technical and related information, including but not limited to information about your computer and/or mobile device, operating system, peripherals, applications, connected devices, network traffic, and data use to facilitate the provision of the Software and Services, including support and other related services. The OnHub Privacy FAQ describes the categories of data collected and how you can use privacy settings to change what data is collected by the Services. " I'm no lawyer, but from my semi educated reading, that tells me Google reserves the right (which to me means they absolutely will) to collect your network traffic and actual data, send it to the Google databases and use it for whatever purpose they so choose. Does anyone read it in any way more legally limiting than that?
