What do you mean “caught”? Google Drive has always been a data farm.

But it’s still probably illegal

Illegal how?
- GolfNovemberUniform ( @GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.ml ) 5•2 months ago
Not allowed by the ToS and the privacy policy

Wouldn’t it be though? No one reads ToS. Most people probably owe google their kidney, their first born child, and their soul. So far as I know, which is admittedly very little, there is nothing that says a company can’t read everything you write if you agree to let them.

Yes. Now its documented that Google is violating their terms of service. I’m sure their lawyers will point to the clause that says they can change the terms of service at any time without warning

Google told me they really care about my privacy, tho.

…Why would you post unencrypted personal information onto the cloud in the first place?
- thefartographer ( @thefartographer@lemm.ee ) 6•2 months ago
!RemindMe in two hours to give my doctor my new SSN after my last one got stolen: 644-11-9217
- HelixDab2 ( @HelixDab2@lemm.ee ) 3•2 months ago
There’s a certain level of due-diligence that you can use when you’re moving personal information around on the cloud. Hospitals have a legal obligation to keep your medical records secure; Google does not.
- thefartographer ( @thefartographer@lemm.ee ) 6•2 months ago
Yes, I wanted to one-up your disbelief by pretending I use random text boxes to store personal information.
Maybe one of these days I’ll make a joke that’s funny instead of confusing…

If it makes you feel better, I’m mildly autistic, so I tend to see things a bit more literally than most.
- thefartographer ( @thefartographer@lemm.ee ) 5•2 months ago
This whole exchange made me feel better. Thank you for being you
