Have you found anything unexpected in your data download from Google? I agree that Google & Facebook (esp. Facebook) appear more greedy when it comes to data collection but that should be visible in the downloads they provide.
- simonh 8y agoThe problem is in trusting that the data they (Google, Facebook, Apple, etc) provide really is everything they have. I know Google has the DLF, but that’s more oriented to providing export access to your data stored in Google services, rather than a register of data stored about you. We need to be careful to distinguish between data we store in these services, and data these services store about us and our use of those services. Providing a summary and exports or access to the first implies nothing about the second, or who any of this data might have been sold to.
- sroussey 8y agoThe data they return is data you basically entered. So you get it back. Inferences though... things that they think might describe you, which is changing over time, does not come out. Something like profilelens.com might provide these insights. I think the CCPA talks about data flows too. Ask for data flows. Ask for justification.
