Since it's mostly free, there has to be a catch. I may be wrong, but since it's Google, there's always a catch nowadays.

The problem isn't that they know about me or you. Or that they know wherever we go and everything about us, more than our family or closest friends. That matters too of course, but the bigger problem is that they know this information about everyone and will know it forever. The issue is systemic privacy. Whenever things go to shit, which they will and partly already have, you'll be sorry for not caring about privacy. Caring about personal privacy is rebellion and doing your part in the fight for privacy for everyone

I do not fear a possibility I fear an inevitability.
