I created a google takeout and in that zip file I found some files containing a ton of data about me. It has logged every single page I visited while using the google search engine and chrome browser. It even logged every single time I opened an app on my old android phone. It even has VOICE RECORDINGS of me and a log of every time I used google assistant. This is just some of the data and I’m very sure there is even more data they have.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. It’s the same with all the big data companies. Everything you type, say or do gets logged and never deleted.
That’s why I’m still in doubt wether to use my fingerprint to unlock my phone. Would be convenient, but where is it stored, who can access it?
Anybody with access to your finger, which means they don’t need you to be conscious or even alive to access your phone.
If they have me dead or unconscious my phone is the least of my concerns.
Depends if you wanna be remembered as John Smith instead of “Ah Yeah, John Smith the furry midget lover”
