Im getting rid of all things google. Im amazed at the amount of people that could care less that google collects all the information they can on themselves and their families, then lets google auction it off to the highest bidder in the world.
Heck some day people will let google put cameras in their homes to watch everything they and their kids do for a free car.
Its easy to buy people and google as well as the others know it, just give them stuff and not charge them for it, like rodents they become dependent.
Start by reducing your searches on google. duckduckgo.com is a great way to do that, throw some business to bing.com too. You dont have to not use google, just give duckduckgo a first try.
Dump gmail, MY GOD, common knowledge for over a decade and people could care less about google scanning their emails in return for free email service. Completely blows my mind that anyone uses gmail and if they do, well, should never bother about asking for privacy. Just open all the shades in your homes, in your bedrooms for all to see.
Drives me nuts and then some complain... most likely posted in here so will keep this short *L*
private email? outlook.com but the ultimate private is protonmail.com
Also your internet provider is the ultimate thief but that's a whole other story.
