How to Quit Google, According to a Privacy Expert

Quitting Google isn't like that. It makes many products, many of which you depend on to live your digital life. Leaving a company like that is like a divorce, according to an expert I talked to. "It's not easy, but you feel so much better at the other side," said Janet Vertesi, a sociology professor at Princeton who publishes work on human computer interaction. "Think of a friend who gets a divorce and is so happy to be out. That could be you. That's how it feels to leave Google."

Windows users on suicide watch: turns out, extracting everything that Microsoft is scanning is trivial:

Every few seconds, screenshots are taken. These are automatically OCR’d by Azure AI, running on your device, and written into an SQLite database in the user’s folder.

This database file has a record of everything you’ve ever viewed on your PC in plain text. OCR is a process of looking at an image and extracting the letters.

While this keylogging "feature" can allegedly be opted out of, it is on by default. Your clueless parents, employer, etc will have all sorts of sensitive information tied up with a little bow for the next piece of malware they get exposed to.

One cannot believe this is a simple oversight on Microsoft's end. Glowniggers of all types need more consoomer data, after all.
