Hi I recently reviewed my Google account settings on my phone. On exploring it I found that I can Remove almost every annoying tracker,I can delete my data,Remove services,Disable Personised ads etc.After giving it 20minutes of my day I found that Google do not deserve the Hate it gets from FOSS and PRIVACY Consious people.Is there some real reason why you should not use google products for privacy or It is just everybody want to live a Hacker's life.

Google tends to be good about security.

Google's revenue is mostly from ads, which means they're intentionally bad at privacy. They're one of the biggest data hoarders. Your data. If it's free, you're the product.™ Yes, they're evil and you'd have to live without internet to never be touched by them, if ever so slightly.

Everyone just wants to be a hacker :P the only evil google does is to try and make you unaware of the trade you're making be taking their services for no money in exchange for your behavior information. Even if you turn off the tracking Google still can use your data, just not tied to you specifically. They also have all the data if there was a rogue element inside Google that could effectively steal everything they have on you regardless of legal agreements.

That can be some general data like where I live,Who I am,What I do etc. But do they gather data like what I like even after I disable these things off ? Also, do they review my personal data on there servers like my google photos,Files on drive etc ? 🤨🤨
