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.

Google tends to be good about security.

Google's revenue is mostly from ads, which means they're intentionally bad at privacy. They're one of the biggest data hoarders. Your data. If it's free, you're the product.™ Yes, they're evil and you'd have to live without internet to never be touched by them, if ever so slightly.
