Is there any way I can stop google and youtube from seeing what I am doing or ‘talking’ to each other about what I am doing at least? Its been happening enough that I am just seriously weirded out and not comfortable, I thought I would ask here and hopefully get some help.
Gee, wonder who own Youtube?
The one that sees all…
In short, if you own/use anything that touches Google or Amazon or Facebook, you’re hosed. But especially Google, though Amazon is getting “up there”. With that said, you can stop using the Google search engine (one of the biggest spy mechanisms ever created in history), you can use things like NoScript and uBlock Origin (browser wise). These will not only help keep you from doing absolutely stupid things with regards to your own privacy, but may even help you enjoy the Internet again. Some sacrifices do have to be made. You can’t say, “I want, need, have to have Big Brother 3000 X, because my grandchild says I have to have it.” Sacrifices have to be made to avoid inherently evil things.
Some “things” won’t work “right” and may require some knowledge to make them “work” while keeping “evil parts” from working. These folks are not your friends. And so, they actively looks for “ways” to do their “evil” around any circumvention you might come up with.
It’s a fun game. Game as in “The Most Dangerous Game”
I’m pretty good at protecting myself from those empires, and even so, they probably know a hundred times more than what I think they know about me (yes, it’s that bad).
Even more fun, ever notice that “what you say” is processed and shows up in your ads? In order to understand “Hey Google”, or “Alexa”, they do have to be able to hear everything you know?
Noscript is… Interesting. It’s very useful and I love using it. Though learning how to use it at first was a little confusing.
