lol hard pass.
Lmao “Cops sell drugs now” :D
Caps have always sold drugs.
Always have.
Some of those that work forces
I thought it was the CIA?
hahahahahahahaha
Google and privacy is the same as putting lithium in water
Lol
Lol
This makes zero sense. Google is the one you need to protect yourself from.
A VPN doesn’t really protect you from Google though. They get their data through trackers, which doesn’t get blocked by a VPN. Obviously I’d still not use a Google VPN, because who knows what they’d do with that data
No one knows what any VPN provider would do with that data so that’s not google exclusive.
Selfhost your VPN!
All the traffic is now attributed to you, like it was before your self hosted VPN.
That’s a fact. But, in the first place, VPNs weren’t invented for privacy.
It also depens on what informations the host has about you. Bare minimum is the IP, but it isn’t really an identification
If you’re hosting a VPN in your house, all traffic is going to/from your device and your home encrypted, and your home and the isp unencrypted. Since it’s in your home, everything you do on the VPN tunnel can be seen on the other side by your isp.
E: autocorrect corrections
But that extra layer, man!
To really hammer in the attribution? Haha
🙄
Idk… maybe not great for privacy but I just test it (I have been a subscriber for a while and didn’t know there was a VPN) and it bypasses my country blocks of certain piracy pages so so far it’s kind of usefull.
Just be careful with that. If Google is logging your sessions, then your country’s government can request that data. The idea that Google wouldn’t keep logs is laughable.
Sure, I don’t care in my case tough. It’s not illegal to access them even tough they are blocked.
How about we start getting paid for all the information they steal.
A google VPN sounds as sus as huggies condoms.
Fucken hilarious since I’m currently dealing with newborn. Granted, huggies diapers have held back huuge poops.
Haha same here. Huggies FTW.

They really do think we are all fucking idiots, don’t they?
So long as the majority doesn’t know any better, it’s profitable.
looks at my Pixel 6
Well, now I feel dumb.
Had to buy a Pixel 6a to ne able to install grapheneOS, and I did buy it renewed
Same, with Pixel 4A. But now that the Pixel line has abandoned the 3.5mm jack I will look elsewhere for my next phone and ROM.
I mean, are they wrong?
Most are.
The old saying “if something’s free, then you’re the product” still applies.
Not really free, it’s bundled with paid Google one. Not saying it’s good, just not even free
I’m just upvoting all the “lol”, “lmfao” and “hahaha” comments.
That would be like hiring professional bank robbers with a long string of hits to provide security for a bank.
Aren’t some of the more profitable and secure services created by those trained to break security?
Well, Google continues to have the profit motivation of selling people’s personal data, whilst the way black hats turn into white hats is that they can make more money (or at least safer) by helping to improve security rather than break it.
You don’t really hire an active black hat to do penetration testing into your system when they can make way more money selling what they’ll find in your system than what you’re paying them for said penetration testing.
The problem is that Google’s core business is still built-around using (and selling, though indirectly) people’s private data.
Not trusting big Goog at all here, but some of the best hackers have been known to get hired by big corporations or the government, seeing as how they’re the best at what to look for.
Bruh, you have a cybersec violation on your rep sheet and you couldn’t get a job sweeping gravel off a cybersec company’s parking lot.
“Cool cyber hacker gets hired by glowie boys” happens only in movies. The risk just isn’t worth it. In the very rare cases where the skill is worth the risk, which it never is, rest assured there is a handler team authorised to break both hands, the second the hacker goes off script.
In this situation Google controls the whole setup and is not under any oversight from the customers (i.e. those using the VPN).
In that example of yours they would be a still active hacker whose prime source of income is hacking and who makes way more money from hacking than from said gigs for the “big corporations or the government” and who isn’t at all being directly whatched by their employers to make sure they don’t abuse the situation.
Would you give a know active black hat a gig doing penetration testing, which they can do from their own place using whatever they want with no oversight and were the possible profit they can make selling what they find in your systems vastly outweighs what you’re paying them?
