It is really hilarious to me that Google is making PB jump through hoops for this. Google is vacuuming vasts amount of user data without any explicit user consent at all. It's just buried in some encyclopedia length ToS.

- Beltalowda 4y agoLast time I read it, it wasn't actually all that long. It was just full of qualified language like "in some circumstances such and such could be collected" and "Some Google services may do this". At the end of it, it was entirely unclear to me what Google actually did collect, but "services may do this" is really no different from "services can do this" and the result was essentially little more than "we can collect every bit of information you send to us, which we may or may not do". The qualified language was engineered very carefully to make it sound not like that.
