Thank you for summing it up. Now, why do people still buy and/or use Google products? Lack of care? Lack of availability (Android vs iOS)? Not that Apple is that much better. Seems like we are f*cked from all fronts. Meta, Google, Microsoft, Apple, etc. We really need better alternatives with similar prices (and we need people to somehow care and care enough to switch, but we would need a network effect). For example, for a phone, I would buy Librem, but their hardware sucks and it is too pricey.

There was a better site but I cannot find it right now. Can anyone remember? It has "privacy" (or something like that) in the URL (or domain, even).

Additionally, with Chat Control coming to effect soon enough in EU, among other laws passed in various countries like UK and Australia, we really are losing our freedom and privacy. Sad times ahead (with an already sad present).

Yes, yes they can. What would ever make you think otherwise?

Not even when "Don't be evil" was still their motto did Google not only have the ability to read all communication that was routed through them, they actively used those messages to develop their offerings.

The only system or organization you should trust to not read your messages is one that never gets to see your messages unencrypted. In all other cases, assume the organizations involved in relaying your message can read them, and will do so if they (or any of their employees, or contractors, who happen to have access) think of a reason.

Google should be made obsolete, starting with their browser.
