Nowadays, most websites use Google’s ad software which tracks a user's browsing history. On top of that, "Google saves location history, search history, attendance of events, every email sent, even deleted search histories."

Google is known for its simplistic homepage design, an illusion that nothing is going on in their homepage. And yet, Google analyzes and stores all searches a user makes, no matter how “long, short, silly, repetitive, distinct, admirable, terrifying” the query may be. Google creates a log of searches that connect to a specific user via IP address, which is a number assigned to a user’s computer. Over time, this log creates a vast database for each user. The information is used to conduct future searches, meaning that Google has complete control over what it shows.

"For example, a 2018 survey of four thousand American adults found that only 11% were willing to share health data with tech companies, versus 72% with physicians [31]. Moreover, only 31% were “somewhat confident” or “confident” in tech companies’ data security [28]. In some jurisdictions like the United States, this has not stopped hospitals from sharing patient data that is not fully anonymized with companies like Microsoft and IBM [32]. A public lack of trust might heighten public scrutiny of or even litigation against commercial implementations of healthcare AI."

"Alphabet’s Google is the most dominant search engine on the market, and it is also known as one of, if not the most, significant data miner because each search a user makes is essentially raw user data. Amazon stores even more sensitive information like credit card information and Social Security numbers. The bottom line is that you, as the consumer, have traded in your right to privacy as a product that funnels billions of dollars into the pockets of Big Tech CEOs and executives."
