When I was living in a big city working a computer company and I worked in the customer repair center. So I work on peoples and corporations computers.
This is going back decades. Everyone still had dial-up Internet Windows 95/98 and XP and Macintosh computers where big at the time.
Google was the new kid on the block. Big software giant we know today. Was never innocent. Back then when they were started out. They would use embedded software code like a virus would. Google would collect every bit of data it could on that computer.
I mean every little dirty little picture, movie, owner name, company documents, or whatever. Google would make text file copy of the data code. You know the classic zeros and ones computer language.
It would compact a megabytes (Gigabyte hard drives were not out yet) of hard drive space in a kilobytes space of text file and send it to google HQ.
Found this out when I work service.
Google does the same thing with cellphones and much more advanced now.
And people wonder why I hate Google so much. They sold our data to the highest bidder. Governments paid a lot of money for that data.
