  • Google is discontinuing the Google One VPN service later this year, as it announced in April 2024.
  • Some features will be deprecated completely, but the dark web reports feature is staying as a free feature for all Google users.
  • Making the functionality free for everyone could help people become more aware of their online safety.

”Dark web report will become available to all users with a consumer Google Account,” the company explains, as reported by 9to5Google. “Dark web report is integrated with Results about you as a combined solution to help users protect their online presence.”

with all the data breaches, would be a miracle if it ever responded “no” …

True. Also the answer to the question: it’s my info in the dark web? It’s yes, yes is the answer

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

It can! Here's some of the possible answers:

  • It is certain
  • Reply hazy, try again
  • Don’t count on it
  • It is decidedly so
  • Ask again later
  • My reply is no
  • Without a doubt
  • Better not tell you now
  • My sources say no
  • Yes definitely
  • Cannot predict now
  • Outlook not so good
  • You may rely on it
  • Concentrate and ask again
  • Very doubtful
  • As I see it, yes
  • Most likely
  • Outlook good
  • Yes
  • Signs point to yes

I use the internet so just assume the answer is "Yes".

"Google will soon let everyone know ~~if~~ that their information is on the dark web."

Spoiler alert: It is.

Does it matter if my data is probably on the clearnet already?

[–] Matriks404@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

At this point probably at least 10 governments in the world know more about you than you.

Time to pour one out for yet another killed service.

Goolag will soon let everyone know if the information that they mined from you made its way onto the dark web
