Re:New study: Google manipulates users into constant tracking by AlexandrB on Friday February 01, 2019 @10:29AM (#19054845)
This is comical. I try really hard to keep Google from tracking me. I use DDG, FastMail, iOS, have pseudonymous accounts for logging into Youtube. But I know Google still has a pile of information on me through reCaptcha, trackers on various web sites (Google analytics for starters) and services that use the Google Maps API. So I'm left with the nagging sense that I'm still being tracked by Google, no matter what I do. There is no real choice available. Google will track you in some way, your "decisions as an adult" be damned.

It doesn't even matter anymore if they can tie your actions to your identity, so long as they can tie your actions to the information that they choose to let you consume.
