Are you ready? This is all the data Facebook and Google have on you
This is nonsensical:<p>&gt; The data Google has on you can fill millions of Word documents. 
&gt; Google offers an option to download all of the data it stores about you. I’ve requested to download it and the file is 5.5GB big, which is roughly 3m Word documents. 
This link [Google Takeout] includes your bookmarks, emails, contacts, your Google Drive files, all of the above information, your YouTube videos, the photos you’ve taken on your phone, the businesses you’ve bought from, the products you’ve bought through Google …<p>Well duh, Google stores your gmail emails and Youtube videos and Drive documents and so on! This is the service they&#x27;re providing you! Google Takeout doesn&#x27;t give you a 5GB archive of advertising profile or covertly gathered info, it gives you a 5GB archive of the documents you deliberately uploaded to Google services - emails, docs, pics, videos, calendar appointments. The list of Android apps installed on your devices is there so that when you link a new device to your Google account, these apps will be automatically installed on it. And so on.<p>There&#x27;s a single link on that list related to surveillance - namely, your Google Ads profile, which only shows very basic data, I&#x27;m sure they have vastly more complicated data stored on me.<p>There&#x27;s enough genuine reasons to be upset with Google&#x27;s surveillance, let&#x27;s not promote this kind of silliness. Google knows which Google Groups you&#x27;re subscribed to, really? 5GB could fill 3m Word docs - how many is that in Libraries of Congress?
