Big Brother. Everything Google knows about you

Last updated on February 17, 2025

How to make young people aware whereas the Internet is both a great tool for knowledge and communication and a place where constant care must also be taken to preserve the confidentiality of what is being done there. Internet giants are real data vacuums.

Google is a great example. The web search giant offers great services to all Internet users. But every time you use his services, you leave him without necessarily noticing a considerable amount of data about you. Unless you are careful to adjust your privacy settings. Here are three examples that should end up convincing the most skeptical or unconscious.

Google knows everything about your activity on the web.

Chrome is arguably one of today's best web browsers. This cross-platform application developed by Google also keeps in mind all the sites you visit, all the searches you do there or the YouTube videos you watch. And regularly deleting your history if you think about doing so is not enough. The evidence?

Google knows everything about your interests

Google, the original web search engine, quickly understood that its business model involved the sale of advertising space.. Google invented targeted advertising on the web. The idea of Google’s engineers is clear. Instead of offering the same advertisement to everyone, we will display ads that match your profile. To serve you of course … Por this Google needs to identify who you are and will rely on the sites you visit and the searches you do.

Google knows everything about the places you go

The GPS embedded on our smartphones is once again a great tool to never get lost again. It will also be a great tracker of your activity and all your travels. Google knows everything, especially if you're using an Android smartphone from the places you've been in in recent years. You can even specify a date. Do you doubt that? Do the test and in passing if you wish to disable the position history.

So much for these three thought-provoking tests. It is not a question of no longer using the great services offered by Google or Apple or Amazon or … but of doing so knowingly by limiting the data collected by those Big Brothers on the Web to the maximum extent possible in the settings or if it is not possible to look for alternatives.
