Acidosis:
Technology or communication is not possible without data. If you don't want your data taken, stay away from tech and go live with your grandma in the village.


So Google should record only your voice without taking up other sounds in your vicinity? Google na God?

Thank, I have always believed that without taking a picture, as long as u use android plus google, Google have your photos with them, your voice with them, your location with them even without you turning on your data sir. Your Webcam will snap u repeatedly without u knowing and sent to their database, same voice, location. They are just telling us to switch on our data to make us believe they can't have access without it so that we don't think of privacy infringement.

Believe it or not, your data (both the expected and unexpected) are with dem.

Google’s voice search function doesn’t just turn on when you ask it to. Rather, it records almost everything. The outlet reports that Google began doing this in June of 2015. Sounds creepy yet? Well, it gets even worse. You see, you can listen to the recordings Google has stored and associated with your name simply by visiting this webpage the company set up.

The feature works as a way of letting people search with their voice, and storing those recordings presumably lets Google improve its language recognition tools as well as the results that it gives to people. But it also comes with an easy way of listening to and deleting all of the information that it collects. That’s done through a special page that brings together the information that Google has on you.
How to delete the recordings
Luckily, if you’re not too happy about Google having potentially hours of your voice in its database, you can delete those files.

Beside each file’s title you’ll see a checkbox.

Simply check those boxes and click 'delete'.

How to Stop Google from Recording You Again
Now, as The Independent points out, stopping Google from recording you does result in some limited functionality if you’re using an Android phone or the company’s search.

However, you may be someone whose concern for privacy is much greater than finding what you’re looking for easily. If so, begin by never using Google’s voice search functions again. Follow up by disabling Google’s voice search.

Follow these steps for Android users:

1. Navigate to Settings
2. Tap the General tab
3. Under “Personal” find “Language and Input”
4. Find “Google voice typing” and tap the Settings button
5. Tap “Ok Google” Detection
6. “Under the”From the Google app” option, move the slider to the left

Yes o.. There's no App without privacy policy and these things are clearly stated. We just choose to ignore and later on cry about infringement. If we don't want our data taken by foreign companies, then we should sit back and create ours.

All correct sir.

So long as that phone is on. Google records everything, even what you say in your sleep, them record all and have used it to build a complete psychological profile of you. If they wanted to build a non-DNA match clone of you and place it in your life after killing or kidnapping you, they'll do it and no one will know.

Why do you think that the US embassy don add 5 years of social media scrutiny to their new visa requirements?

You shouldn't complain too much about this, because it's included in their privacy policy if you care to read them, but I trust most Nigerians will click agree without reading their TOS. We are now in Google world.

Google started out good. But now they are this monster. They are rapidly tagging everybody in the world. No one is safe. They have almost everyones data. There is no such thing as privacy anymore.

They are gathering data for the Antichrist. When he rules the world he will know where everyone is and what everyone's doing at every particular time using this technology (probably bought over by another company then and at a more advanced stage). Then chips (mark of the beast) will be inserted in people's bodies for transaction purposes in the name of a cashless one-world system.

Last week I heard Scientists were on the verge of creating perfect human cells that won't allow people to die or be sick again (they may however be killed by other disasters like car accidents or gunshot wounds)...and that's quite a laudable feat. However it only confirms what the book of Revelations said in chapter 9 verse 6..."and in those days men shall seek death and not find it, and shall desire to die but death will flee from them"

All these technological feats are quite impressive and valuable to mankind...but for those who understand the times, they know that the beginning of the end is upon us!

Not surprised at all .

Not even if you were the CIA would you be able to unravel to whole mystery .
You can only know what they want you to know .
Behind every revealed secret, there are still some secrets to be revealed .
I swear. If Google reveals it's true capability, we will faint.

Clearly, you don't know what we all are in for. With the data they have gathered about you, you will have to "STRUGGLE" to remain clean... Trust me, if the need arises, anyone can be made into a criminal since they know your weak points and and can precisely strike to either maim or kill. You can't hide anywhere not even in a cave. Don't worry, it will be made clearer with time.
only criminals will be scared seeing this kind of headlines. Once, you don't do illegal business, making calls that affects anyone e..t.c no one can use anything against you.

Funny but true. Targeted ads use algorithms of your phone location and search to create accurate personalized ads. Did you know that they are even able to diagnose users of diseases before symptoms are noticed based on your data and habits online.
I remember when I was visiting hospitals, old people home and rehabilitation center for work, only for them to start sending me advertisements for burial expenses and life insurance.
They probably didn’t know I was going to those places for job. But God pass them.

You are correct. But i dont agree with your religious beliefs. You see the human race is still an infant. We have so much potential that we have not even began scratching the surface yet. I dont think there is any such thing as the anti-christ. Rather i think humans as spiritual creatures will finally break free from there ignorance and embrace the knowledge that they are capable of anything. That is the essence of the teachings of the greatest teacher ever. Jesus. Which is grossly misunderstood.

It doesn't record everything we say.It only record your voice when you use it.It is switched off by default,it only work when you activate it by using it.It is a serious violation of anyone's privacy if it is permanently switched on to record any android phone user voice.I bet iOS for iphone has it too.
