# Google Shit I Don't HaveA recent check of a "Google Dashboard" revealed a great deal of Google Shit I don't have -- but apparently cannot get rid of. Submitted as feedback:----Dear Googles: Quite simply: I don't want to have services, profiles, accounts, systems, networks, calendars, notifications, or anything else set up, configured, provided, enabled, or otherwise made available, functional, or live, unless I specifically request them. Trust. It's about fucking trust. That shit you violate all the fucking time. "Edward Morbius" has a G+ profile (for now), and an email address. * He doesn't have a calendar. * He doesn't have books. * He doesn't have ten bookshelves of books he doesn't have. * He doesn't have Chrome Sync. * He doesn't have contacts. * He doesn't have a birthdays calendar. * He doesn't have entries he didn't add to a birthday calendar he doesn't have. * He doesn't have Groups. * He doesn't have Locations. * He doesn't have News. * He doesn't have Photos (though there are specifically updated images and screenshots elsewhere). * He doesn't have Music * He doesn't have a "Play Store" account. * He does not have, and will not provide, payment information for the Play Store account he doesn't have. * He doesn't have a phone number. * He will not provide the phone number he doesn't have. [Stop asking](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6745525). * He doesn't have a Profile. Whatever the fuck that is. * He doesn't have Search history. * The search history he doesn't have isn't "paused". It. Doesn't. Fucking. Exist. Full. Fucking. Stop. * He doesn't have Talk. * He doesn't have Tasks. * He doesn't have Webmaster Tools. * He doesn't have YouTube. [And wouldn't want it outed](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6746731). * The search history of the YouTube he doesn't have isn't "paused". It doesn't fucking exist. * The video play history of the YouTube he doesn't have isn't "paused". It doesn't fucking exist. He is also doesn't have any shits to give for Google. Who are manifestly evil.----Google, passive-aggressively as usual, provide myriad controls for tweaking any of numerous settings for services. What's not provided is a global kill switch for those services, with very few exceptions (notably: G+).This is evil.
