I also did it some time ago, but I have a feeling, with nothing to backup my claim, that they still log, store and analyse all my activity but just don't show it in the dashboard. I don't know how targeted ads are (because of ad block) but youtube doesn't suggest me anything based on watch history so I guess I might be wrong here.
- supermdguy 9y agoThat's probably true, but I at least feel a little more comfortable.
- samschooler 9y agoOne thing I like to do is just leave them all on, but minimize my contact with Google's services. Then I check in every few months just to confirm they haven't collected anything on me.
- DarkCrusader2 9y agoOff topic - I am actually working on a framework to automate the process of self-hosting these services on some VPS. I might open-source it once it is in usable shape. But some things just have no real alternative(like maps and android)
- samschooler 9y agoApple Maps is actually acceptable I think (at least on iOS). I'm trying to find an alternative for Google Photos.
- gowld 9y agoHave you considered filing a lawsuit? That would be a great way to punish someone for violating their privacy policy and EU obligations.
