Is Google still as evil as it used to be? I have the feeling that a few GDPR fines later they take privacy more seriously, or at least a lot more seriously than the other evil AdTech (Facebook).
I don't want to defend Google, but I noticed:
- Google Drive is now paid (soon even for "low-quality" storage) a clear move away from ad-only revenue.
- Google has auto-delete and a clear privacy dashboard, which clearly shows what Google know about you.
- They have the option of disabling "creapy ads".
A few more GDPR fines, and I think Google will become as privacy-friendly as a SaaS can be. :)
- Nextgrid 6y ago> that a few GDPR fines later they take privacy more seriously Their current GDPR consent flow is still not compliant (because you can't decline) so I guess the fines weren't enough.
