you might not have known this, but google - the company you use for searching, email, maps, translation, data storage, watching videos, voice assistant tech, backing up your phone, storing photos, finding images, making purchases, making your phone's operating system, advertising, providing webfonts, running website analytics, providing captcha authentication, and browsing the internet - might be tracking you
this might come as a shock, but google, a company whose primary revenue source is advertising, might be collecting your data

@lynnesbian Might? Optimist. They're definitely tracking me.
@lynnesbian
Yes. Contrary to popular fears about various governments, the bigger risks arise from corporate entities trading and collating data to advance their profit motives. Ultimately the endgame of corporate oligarchs is to ensure social and economic control.
@lynnesbian my stepdad is super paranoid about computers but he /had/ to have the newest Samsung phone when it came out. Yet he won't give us his SSN for the FAFSA?
i'm pretty sure the us already stores everyone's everything in government computers
