Does Google REALLY think I'm just going to turn the Spyware back on? (lemmy.zip)

Google keeps asking about turning on my location timeline, trying to push for me to turn ON Ad tracking.

Are they stupid? If I'm the type of person who went out of his way to turn this crap off ...do they really think saying "Your in Control" is going to encourage me to turn this s*** back on?

Youe feelings are valid and we should be pushing for proepr regulation.

However, let's be real it isn't happening. This is just one aspect of the class war. Most people are unwilling to go into proepr opposition ie stop using their slop services. They will keep doing this.

It is up to you how much abuse you will accept before taking direct action to punish the parasite.
