I won’t do Google ANYTHING

Posted by Maya @ 0:35 on November 22, 2017  

No Chromebook for me.  EVERY Google app appears to have some kind of tracking.  Old neighbor of mine came for a visit and she is the ultimate social media queen.  Tried to get me signed up on some google social media app that she texted to me directly.  Before I opened it, I looked it up…. google tracking included.  I called her on it and she said,  “Well of course!  I want to know where my friends are!  If I hear of a car accident in your area I want to know if you are all right or where you are!”   Sorry…. I don’t need mother-tracking.   She was miffed that I refused to load it… just for her.   So later she sends me all the pictures that she took during her visit.    Again… from a google app.   With just a teaser of the first picture, the button says  “Open in App”.    Sure enough… another google app that won’t allow you to open pictures except from within a google picture app.  More tracking included.   I dumped the pictures package without opening.

I use Startpage.com as my homepage and privacy search engine.
