RE: Google and Facebook cross the creepy line; and then sell YOU, and your data, to advertisers!
So we should better just stay on Steemit/weku as they wont sell anything, isn't it?

If you use android, or the browser Chrome, google is harvesting everything you do, directly, as they own both.
Use duckduckgo,com for a search engine, and it will protect you some.
That said, anything you put on steemit or weku becomes a permanent record, available to all.
:'(whatever we put here or on weku is public anyway but whatever we search or install or use in android is pretty much personal and should be treated as such.
No, each time you sign onto the internet, the android reports to google and tells them everything you did since the last report in.
Apple does not act any better. the new ones include face recognition, and it is easy for apple to download this data. That is a nightmare to think about!
:)>This is too bad to be true, what do we do? can we chose any other operating system on our except android?
even apple? what's wrong with the people
I don't know of any other choices. I have been looking for a Linex based phone, but no joy yet.
In the interim I have disabled all automatic functions, including location and automatic updates. Every few weeks, I un-install every application I can find, and return it to factory original programming.
I can't stop them, but I will slow them down by destroying their sneaky uploads, repeatedly. It makes them have to keep patching their data base together too.
Apple is actually more of a danger because they are recording much more private information. I considered changing to Apple, until I found that out! Now there is NO WAY now!
>:(that is very bad, thanks for educating me also.
I hope we can soon have a way out of it though
Yes, until then I will keep uninstalling all the updates, since it messes with them, ROFLOL!
It is really nice to see You Here on Steemit, I know how low you are on RC! So make the replies short as possible, and they will go further! Trashed again on buying SBDs, but I just bought a book on how to do it....
So do NOT give up yet, okay? If I get into buying crypto, things will improve for Both of us!
:)>I was on 1.17 % on RC when I tried replying but couldn't.
this uninstalling apps frequently thing might work on me too.
That will be wonderful, looking forward to that
