Google is discontinuing the Google One VPN service later this year, as it announced in April 2024.
Some features will be deprecated completely, but the dark web reports feature is staying as a free feature for all Google users.
Making the functionality free for everyone could help people become more aware of their online safety.

”Dark web report will become available to all users with a consumer Google Account,” the company explains, as reported by 9to5Google. “Dark web report is integrated with Results about you as a combined solution to help users protect their online presence.”

with all the data breaches, would be a miracle if it ever responded “no” …

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago

True. Also the answer to the question: it’s my info in the dark web? It’s yes, yes is the answer

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

It can! Here's some of the possible answers:

It is certain
Reply hazy, try again
Don’t count on it
It is decidedly so
Ask again later
My reply is no
Without a doubt
Better not tell you now
My sources say no
Yes definitely
Cannot predict now
Outlook not so good
You may rely on it
Concentrate and ask again
Very doubtful
As I see it, yes
Most likely
Outlook good
Yes
Signs point to yes

I use the internet so just assume the answer is "Yes".

"Google will soon let everyone know ~~if~~ that their information is on the dark web."

Spoiler alert: It is.

Does it matter if my data is probably on the clearnet already?

Time to pour one out for yet another killed service.

At this point probably at least 10 governments in the world know more about you than you.

Goolag will soon let everyone know if the information that they mined from you made its way onto the dark web
