Google is the worst offender in creating the current state of zero privacy.
Real privacy is privacy by default. Opt out is bullshit and everyone knows it. Just try to opt out of information sharing for every service you have. It’s simply not possible. Why don’t our lawmakers advocate for real privacy? Because powerful tech advertising lobbies prevent it.
Google doesn’t even respect opt out.
There’s no role for user privacy advocate at google . There’s no room for the discussion. They regularly and actively subvert even the weak privacy laws we have here.
Notice how they nag you forever to log into google maps? That’s so they can share your location data across all properties. They aren’t legally allowed to do it unless there’s a reason. The login service is their reason.
How do I know this? They said it openly. Is this conscious, active and continuous violation of privacy law? I’d say it is.
