Why bother asking if you’re not going to look it up and just say it’s not true?

I looked it up on Google and it said google was one of the good guys.

circular reason is also this?? (i looked it up on brave search and it said google is evil!!) both are bad arguments, i’m so sorry.

well, with all blog articles, not everything has to be taken literally, maybe sometimes it’s just criticism or a misunderstanding. for example breaching user security, yes they did it, but for the safety of other people, so i’m sorry.

Multi-billion-dollar corporations do not deserve the benefit of the doubt. Companies do not act morally unless they are legally compelled to.

They sell ad spots based on their data about you - IMHO that’s very different from outright selling your data.

lawsuit claims
It’s right in the title. So you claim it is true. I can also claim that you sell my personal data. Doesn’t make it true.
Let that lawsuit play out, and wait for the verdict.

In 2019, Google agreed to pay $170 million to settle claims by the FTC and New York Attorney General that YouTube illegally collected personal information from children without their parents’ consent, the suit noted. Last year, a French high court upheld a 50 million Euro fine against Google over alleged failure to obtain users’ consent for using their data for ad targeting, the suit said.
Many settled claims too.

That would be bad for business. Why sell your data to the highest bidder once when you can interest yourself in their value chain and seek rent forever?
