That's not how I interpret the meme. The way I understand it is rather
So I interpret this is as surveillance companies be ready to go through absolutely anything, even something literally dirty, i.e trash, in order to get yet more information about people. People knowing it's problematic and yet relinquishing even the modicum of privacy they had until then.
So... IMHO it's not about the garbage itself, rather garbage is meant as a provocative metaphor to mean literally anything and everything.
Nope, you are coping. Infact I see the meme as a failed attempt to call Google garbage (the word garbage is stylized with the famous google colours).
The incognito mode joke makes sense. Everything else is out of place.
The reason why they have garbage in the google style is because they’re portraying google as a garbage company who searched through your garbage, plus this isn’t coping. :)
You do realize that you are agreeing with me.
