Google has launched a new site that gives some idea of what they know about you.

Their data includes detailed maps, searchable by dates, of everywhere I've been in the US since 2009.



I assumed they were keeping this stuff, but wow.

I am pretty sure it scrapes your location based on your social media presence- Instagram,facebook, etc. Even if you turn location services off.

Duckduckgo is the only search engine to trust. So far anyway.

Google knows how long I spent in the grocery store today on the way home from work.

Who cares. Apple won't even crack a terrorists phone. If they used this info to track people then many lives would be saved. But they don't.

Google uses way more than just GPS to track you, genius.

All it showed me was my recent YouTube videos watched. I don't log into google on any of my browsers. I'm sure they know more but they are only coughing up stuff here that you have agreed to or logged in to.

I have to just assume that everyone is fricked, so my google weirdness won't stand out more than anyone else's.

I'm not worried about it, unless they use it to blackmail me. Then, I'm totally screwed.
