The following are postulations that I have not managed to refute since 2013.
Google clearly knows what they have made. The theory that nobody cares to fix this is false. They have good engineers.
Google was always tracking our location and scanning our emails. Few things happened simultaneously in 2014. Google tried to replace the messaging app with hangouts, blatantly stepping on privacy. Inadvertent signing ups for Google+ could occur. I switched to Cyanogenmod.
Navigating new privacy settings would took so long. Then Google maps started suggesting where I intend to go.
Not very creepy. It seems to me that Google intend to do the right thing, which is to declare publicly that our privacy is compromised, (e.g. Snowden) when we use Online centralized products. That is a good thing. I stopped trusting my ill-founded sense of privacy.
I lived in Canada, perhaps the timing was different in the states.
