Many people think of Google as a search company, but its flagship product is actually your identity, courtesy of Gmail. If you use Gmail, you’re always logged in to your Google account, which is how Google can connect your search terms, GPS location, photos, YouTube views, and more to your real-life identity. And every time you sign up for a new service and provide your email address to create an account, Gmail knows about it first.
No one has thought of Google as a search company for decades.
They’re a data-mining and ad service that provides software that helps them collect more data and serve you more ads.
@HughJanus you and me maybe. Normals think differently. We’re not normal.
