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's search engine is based on algorithms that exploit the uncertain judgments of Internet users. In addition, Google censors information available online.

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.

Although Google claims that it is not “selling” our data, the practices of Google show that over time, we will eventually lose all autonomy over our privacy

“We are currently in a familiar situation in which regulation and oversight risk falling behind the technologies they govern. Regulation should emphasize patient agency and consent, and should encourage increasingly sophisticated methods of data anonymization and protection.”

"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."

"These tech platforms, like Instagram or Google, all have parent companies that collect data on their users, despite any data privacy concerns these practices raise. The federal government has taken advantage of these blatant data privacy violations through the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). Under this surveillance law, the government is granted full-range permission to access data, where it is available."

"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."

"Google LLC and its subsidiary YouTube, LLC will pay a record $170 million to settle allegations by the Federal Trade Commission and the New York Attorney General. The settlement requires Google and YouTube to pay $136 million to the FTC and $34 million to New York for allegedly violating the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) Rule. The $136 million penalty is by far the largest amount the FTC has ever obtained in a COPPA case since Congress enacted the law in 1998."

"The COPPA Rule requires that child-directed websites and online services provide notice of their information practices and obtain parental consent prior to collecting personal information from children under 13, including the use of persistent identifiers to track a user’s Internet browsing habits for targeted advertising. In addition, third parties, such as advertising networks, are also subject to COPPA where they have actual knowledge they are collecting personal information directly from users of child-directed websites and online services."

"In the past, he says, artists in training copied the work of masters in order to learn the craft and develop their own aesthetic." - "“AI isn’t doing either of those things,” he says. “It’s doing its own copying. It doesn’t strengthen the image that it copies, neither does it critique that image.”
