Are they not violating GDPR because of that? Surely they don't need to know most of that data to process search queries? Or it is a classic example of trying to bypass regulation by creating the fake need for this data in their T&C.
Another question is that why regulators don't look into that? If I search for "Pythagorean formula", do they need my address for that?
I think the business model like Google should be outlawed (and I believe it already is illegal in the EU) and it should not be possible to pay for a service with your personal data.
Yes, I get the argument that if services become paid, then a lot of people won't be able to afford the subscriptions, but we could have a law that email operators should provide basic email service for free, just like banks have to provide basic bank accounts free of charge.
