If you're still using Google, you're not even trying

Google is a state surveillance asset. They're in bed with the DoD, the NSA, the CIA, they're a regular clearing house for all of your most intimate information. If you're serious about protecting your right to privacy, you need to get off of Google. <br><br>This goes for all of their software and products, too: Google Maps, Google Hangouts, Gmail, Google Home, Google Voice, Google Messages, Google Drive, Google Photos, Google Calendar, Google Contacts, Google Pay, Google Pixel, etc. <br><br>They have an app for everything, don't they? Yeah, it's not a coincidence. They want you to be in their ecosystem at all times, and the only reason they want this is so they can exploit and sell your personal data. <br><br>If you have a google voice number, you're being spied on. If you have a gmail account, you're being spied on. If you use an Android phone, you're being spied on. If you use Google Maps, you're being spied on. If you use Google Home, you're being spied on. If you use Google Pay, you're being spied on. If you have a Google Pixel phone, you're definitely being spied on. <br><br>If you have a Google account and you sign in to it on the desktop, Google knows every single thing you do on that browser, every website you visit, they have all of your web history, they know every single thing you've ever searched in your life, every single thing you've ever played on YouTube, every video you've clicked on and watched, every video you've clicked on and didn't watch, every video suggestion you looked at and ignored, they know everything about all of the baby apps you use to make emoji look smarter and more relatable. <br><br>They know everything about you, and they make a copy of all of it. They send it to the government and they sell it to advertisers to build profiles on you and to manipulate you through sophisticated mass psychology attacks, and to finance the next elections to make sure that government stays exactly the same so that the money keeps flowing. <br><br>If you're still using Google, you're not even trying.
