I don’t believe for a second that they are actually going to delete any data they stole from users.
It is what it is

UPDATE disgustingly_detailed_data SET deleted = true WHERE inkognito = true;monogram@feddit.nl 11 months ago
The raw data might be purged but no one talks about the ML modal that google trained with that data.

Of course they will! First you make a copy, then you delete the copy. Contractual terms satisfied.

Um was this surprising to anyone? I think we all assumed that this was the case no???

Doesn’t it specifically say on a new incognito tab that this doesn’t protect against sites or service providers from gathering information…and only stops you from storing local information (history, cookies, etc)? Do people actually think that incognito is adding privacy protection?

Maybe I read it wrong but (to me) the meme makes it sound like Google’s taking the local data (that’s supposed to be forgotten, once you close the browser window) and sending it over to Google for them to, I dunno, run analysis on.
If they’re saying that Google sites (like YouTube, Google search, etc.) were collecting data when I visit them (as, unfortunately, sites do), then I’d say, “Well, duh;” but this makes it seem like they were exporting your local data off to their cloud which, like, they could obviously, technically do but wouldn’t very much be in the spirit of how Incognito mode was portrayed.

It has somewhat of a privacy protection because it’s incapable of keeping cookies. The bar is in hell, but it passed it.

That was actually a result of this issue, where Google placed misleading statements in incognito and then proceeded to actively go around them.
