I created a google takeout and in that zip file I found some files containing a ton of data about me. It has logged every single page I visited while using the google search engine and chrome browser. It even logged every single time I opened an app on my old android phone. It even has VOICE RECORDINGS of me and a log of every time I used google assistant. This is just some of the data and I'm very sure there is even more data they have.

I just deleted my google account. Bye YouTube comments.

I wish I could just delete it. I'm still figuring out things with nextcloud and I run a youtube channel so I can't do that yet.

@sidgames5 @trippingonthewire Is there a more privacy-friendly option (non-data siphoning) for video hosting?
