As people have said, this is fake, but why would you keep any important data with Google anyway?

People keep saying this is fake,, but I just received this email today on another site lol that's annoying

It's fake in that this is about shared collections, not just your regular bookmarks as implied.

You also can't share pirate material on YouTube, can you?

Here's the print from my mail. And that is a bookmark from my mobile device, that website is not mine.

Is it maybe about items in this? https://www.google.com/save

I have plenty of links in my bookmarks that google doesn't like, haven't received any email. I do not use the "save" feature though...

In another capture, it says that the link is hidden for others but also for the current user.
