Hi I recently reviewed my Google account settings on my phone. On exploring it I found that I can Remove almost every annoying tracker,I can delete my data,Remove services,Disable Personised ads etc.After giving it 20minutes of my day I found that Google do not deserve the Hate it gets from FOSS and PRIVACY Consious people.Is there some real reason why you should not use google products for privacy or It is just everybody want to live a Hacker's life.

Nobody is born evil, with their decisions, they become one. I can't say google is evil or not, simply because they are collecting a lot of information from their users. I don't know and nobody can comprehend what they are doing with all of it, but all I can say is that they made information finding in general easy for everyone. They created and destroyed a lot of services. Ultimately they are helping people all around the world by helping their business interests grow.
