I have three western citizenships, one is EU, and I live across borders, usually accessing the internet via VPN from China. Google cannot possibly understand this, nor should it try to, rather it should give everyone the best protections guaranteed by law anywhere in the world and only punch holes in it for local regulations in specific jurisdictions where unavoidable. To do anything else (such as profiling for ads) is to be evil.

- myrandomcomment 7y agoGoogles job is to make money, which means monetizing your data. We have no reason to expect anything else from a free service. I fail to understand why this surprises people. If that does not work people can use another search engine (duck duck go or the like) and pay for email (proton, etc).
