    I don't believe google or Facebook turn off anything if you don't want their date collection they do it anyway

      They still collect data, but if you turn off targeted ads, it no longer uses that data for targeted ads. It's better than nothing however.
      Citation: "We provide personal information to our affiliates and other trusted businesses or persons to process it for us, based on our instructions and in compliance with our Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures. For example, we use service providers to help us with customer support.""
      "Does the service allow third-party access to private personal data? "
      "Yes"
      "Does the service collect personal data from third parties?"
      "Yes"
      When it comes to ads, the tech companies that bid on ad space then get access to your data through advertising, and its Google's way of selling your data while being able to say they don't sell your data, since it's not directly selling, by instead letting advertising companies and tech companies bid for ad space which collects your data. This data is then collected and sold to data brokers who then sell it to anyone who wants it (and I literally mean anyone).
      If you use Google services without a private browser, blocked cross site tracking, adBlock, VPN, private DNS, custom OS (for phone), then your data is openly at risk whether you turn on/off privacy settings with Google or not. I recommend Brave or LibreWolf, uBlockOrigin, Mulvad VPN, NextDNS, GrapheneOS. Search into these individually. If you want more options, or just want to get rid of Google entirely, look into Proton Mail/Calendar/Drive/Pass and other Proton services, as well as TechLore, Privacy Tools, Privacy Spy, Privacy Tests, and for FOSS products, use AlternativeTo to find free open source software, like LibreOffice for example which handles all Office365 needs with free software.

      Yes, it does. What's your point? Are you saying 'don't bother de-googling because it's not 100%'? Or, are you suggesting that people not use their devices at all if they're concerned about their privacy? You made a true statement, but you didn't use it to support a conclusion so... I'm asking: what conclusion do you want other people to understand from your statement?

    Google audio heard what you say and analyze words some apps analized without your know and turn on at your activity example when you talk with someone. Thats why adds change on compared to your conversation theme. At some moment you can find only basic info on google but google take many info about you and show it for anyone

    Why i keep my phone in a faraday bag until I need it. Turning off these settings means nothing. These companies are so corrupt they just ignore you turning off on your phone. We have deleted all social media except YT. This will be gone soon.

    I will absolutely see low quality ads if I turn off personalized ads. I live in a particular type of US state where particular types of politicians are desperate to steer my opinion so that I will vote against my own self interests in order that they can keep power and so that their donors can keep their tax cuts. No thanks.

      Control the ability of pregnant women to travel, yep, absolutely can confirm - when my wife was pregnant with our daughter, I distinctly remember her being arrested by Republican Party Security Agents and interred in a Republican Supermax Facility so she would be unable to terminate her pregnancy, while simultaneously being prevented from seeking prenatal care (which Republicans hate for, you know, obvious reasons) that would increase the chances our daughter or my wife would die during her pregnancy.

    I have a 5 year old Motorola that is out of service, but it still works, just very hard to text on or figure out what I'm doing. Your devices are likely alot newer. So I was trying to change things for Google to share my pictures, phone number or any pics that would give away my general location. FB picked up private pics and locations, so I got spooked. Just not sure I did it right. I made have made it worse. What do I do??
