Location is possibly a very personal piece of data collected. But you can also imagine how they perform their "analytics" on the photos and videos we upload to their cloud services, or the messages and emails sent using their platforms. Google collects heaps of user data - which could potentially be dangerous if the data were ever leaked or accessed by the wrong people.

If there way was away where you can always shows your location by default which should be google hq. that would be fun. Lets start turning the table around and be on the attack instead of always been on the defensive. Inch by inch, bit by bit just like the communist let see if they think this is fun.

Google is robbing everyone every day. We all should feel rage against the greed disguised as protection. Karma always makes it's rounds...

I always said Google's privacy controls are like switches that are not actually connected to anything. It makes you feel you've done something and Google will just always harvest as much data as possible no matter what. Even if they get caught, like anyhting big is going to happen. They'll just say "we're sorry", pay that ridiclously small fine and that would be it. These mega corporations make so much money from harvesting data from users that all the fines are just their casual regular expenses like frigging toilet paper for their restrooms and electrical bills...

People keep mentioning China when China has nothing to do with Americans spying. This is an article on Google, not on China.

MightySkull, 25 Jan 2022Hey Author, What are you talking about? Incognito mod... moreIncognito mode is an eyewash. It's mostly inconsequential.

Google will just bribe the jurors are buy out the judge. How difficult would that be in a country where many former presidents have been mysteriously murdered, and nobody doubted the investigations.
The majority of shady politicians in the US own stocks in big tech. Justice is impossible.

Just an allegation. Given how politically charged the US is, I would wait for a judgement before forming an opinion.

I have met some commenters that said they prefer Google collecting their user data than any Chinese companies because "Google is more transparent and trustworthy". Would really like to see their faces when they read this article.

Only because it's not Chinese company, it's bloatware and spying aren't considered as such. Not defending Chinese companies, but bloatware and spying are bad for consumers, whether it's East or West doing it.
We must openly declare Google apps as bloatware and call out for spying. Down with Google and their legalized bloatware and data theft!

"Throughout 2019, Google introduced privacy controls such as auto deleting your location and search histories, as well as built-in incognito modes for Google Search and Maps apps."
Right, you'd have to be pretty gullible to believe any of those options are anything other than placebo.

No slight surprise why the deGoogle movement is a thing these days and it keeps on growing day by day.

Hey Author,
What are you talking about? Incognito mode came to Google Maps only in 2020/21. And Google Search on Android still doesn't have an incognito mode!
