Reminder that you should move your email archive to another provider, preferably one in Europe, and delete everything in GMail, including in the "all mail" folder.
Then cancel the account entirely if you can, or put a permanent "vacation" message saying that your clients / organizations should not use google products for security reasons.
Also be sure and delete everything out of google drive.
Even if you do cancel the acct(s), they will not delete your data immediately, or possibly ever. You need to do it yourself.
Your data is not safe with google. They have AI crawling every bit of it, and data mine for hundreds of third parties you know nothing about, including muskrat et al.
Additionally, any online service or app you use that has an option to login with google, you should replace. They are letting google data mine your info.
Time to pull the kill switch.
@leonido Es ist hoechste Zeit, dass man in #europa die "longstanding practice" ueberdenkt, Firmen wie #google zu verharmlosen, zu normativieren und teils sogar zur Voraussetzung zu machen, obwohl man wissen konnte, dass sie bereitwillig Propaganda jedweder Autokraten verbreiten wuerden, die sich zum Oberhaupt des Nestes aufschwingen, in dem sie residieren.
@petergleick Or if you can -> Swich default search engine ;P
Turns out there's a whole subreddit devoted to leaving #Google.
Google said it’s testing a machine learning model in the US to help determine whether someone is under 18, allowing it to “provide more age-appropriate experiences” across its platforms.

"Googlen verkko- ja mobiilikalentereista on poistettu esimerkiksi naistenpäivä, Pride-kuukausi ja holokaustin muistopäivä."

Ei s**t*na nyt taas
No niin, lopetin sitten Googlen käytön. Kokeilussa nyt Ecosia. Muitakin ehdotuksia/vaihtoehtoja otetaan vastaan...
Ja mikäs olis hyvä ilmainen sähköposti gmailin tilalle? Joku minkä tällainen boomeri osaisi ottaa käyttöön

Apple Maps também altera o nome do Golfo do México
Google corrige falha que divulgava emails de utilizadores do YouTube
A bunch of people have suggested "inundating" #Google with reports on Maps that "Gulf of America" is an error. Don't bother. You can be sure that the decision to exclusively show the Trump wet dream of "Gulf of America" to the U.S. (while the rest of the planet sees either the actual "Gulf of Mexico" or both names) was made at the highest levels of Google, I'd assume by Trump's leashed pet billionaire Sundar himself. Oh yeah, you can make the reports, but they're just gonna end up on a spreadsheet somewhere in Google Geo where they will be ignored on orders from on high. Trust me on this.

@petergleick I can tell you I think it is utter bullshit that I, as a Canadian, have to see "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)" on Google maps.
Keep that US shit in the US, please.
And someone tell that goof that America is all of south and North America, and USA is only about 1/4 of it.
This over-complying with the president's demand suggests Google is all for the change.
Google confirma datas para o evento IO deste ano
It's not just Google.
"Apple is showing that it is willing to do more than Google by making the change global."

Apple Maps now uses ‘Gulf of America’ name in US, will roll out globally soon.
Just a reminder that moving from one Big Tech company (Google Maps) to another one (Apple Maps) is missing the point.
