What if this is true? – Google always listens to you!

People are not sure about this. It is mainly focused to target ads to you.

This video has a big flaw though, the video was being live recorded on youtube. That might mean Google was actually listening and taping him. For now, don’t worry since nobody else found the same when they were not recording live youtube video.

Google doesn’t keep it a secret – Be cool!

Google will never sell your personal information to anyone. It is in safe hands, It mentions what data it collects, why and how it uses it to make the internet a better experience for you. After all, you cannot imagine a life without Google, can you?

Yes, It knows nearly everything about you, with the introduction of the apps like Tez and Files Go, even more. For now, we can let Google take care of your internet experience. It sure makes it better.
