How much Google knows about you

[Tommy Kwesule]

Majority of kenyans and i mean like 95% do not interest the govt or the intelligence community.... You can threaten the president today and trust you me hata hutakua kwa brief atapewa kesho morning.... So your midget porn liked list, your gambling addiction and wikipedia queries are pretty much intel that is swept under the rug you can sleep sound.... However it changes when you get from the 95 to 5% now you start taking your privacy seriously

It's not about today, hata kesho pia ni siku. And people rise to become more important with time, if our developing leaders have all their information about them that can be used for blackmail in the hands of the wrong people then democracy kwisha. Kumbuka that information is easy to store for as long as needed (forever).

Ever heard of the presidential alert system? Google it. Unless utoe battery kwa phone...that shit is a mic and tracker, with or without internet

Actually you're right, can we escape it? NO
it came to me, when you book a flight, google sends you a reminder on your notifications, sync your email, with ticket and all.
Can this information be shared, that is the question.

The direction technology and surveillance is heading is towards a digital autocracy

The kind of info on you that can be gleaned from these devices / social media is mind blowing
Mimi I avoid Google services as much as possible

unless you go to China, Google has everyone else by the balls

Your location is accessible to anyone, i just need to send you a link on WhatsApp or anywhere, once you open it i know your location. Kama unatumia dedicated internet connection ndio mbaya zaidi

For starters, if you are on Android, Google has virtually unlimited access to the info on your device. This includes your porn collection. Nothing to worry there. What should worry you is that it has a record of all your movements. And the amount of intelligence that can be gathered from this is amazing.

Since you're always at a specific location between say 9pm and 5am, Google deduces that this is where you live. And similarly, anyone within that locality is in your household. So Google knows your spouse and kids.

Your location between 8am and 5pm is your workplace. And those around the locality are your workmates. And if you're somewhere regularly between 6pm and 9pm, that's your drinking den. And your drinking mates are easily identified.

Occasionally, there's somewhere (away from your usual location) where you frequent after work and before sleep time. That is your mpango's den, and the regular occupant is your mpango. The time you spend there is an indicator of how long you last.

Just consider how valuable such info can be to a government agency. And you'll understand where the billions of Google profits come from.
