XboxLegendary 04/10/18 8:46:04 PM #1:	I was going to make a new gmail account so I could get a new YT account, and of course, it's asking for a phone number. Sometimes Google won't require a phone number and I'm able to make a account. However more often than not, it requires one. I'm use to that, but what I found strange is when I click on the box to type in a number (to see if I could bypass it) an auto-complete box pops up with MY PHONE NUMBER as a suggestion. Seriously, what the frick?! I know it's probably location tracking but I have never given my number to Google. Even when using my browser's private mode it still shows up. Seriously Google...WHAT THE FRICK?! This is some Orwellian shit. <cite>XboxLegendary posted [p:899433301] in WTF...Goog...

Chrome saves any phone/address AND credit card info you've entered in input boxes because why not ~~or allegedly to make it easier to fill input boxes in the future~~ This happens across devices and not locally afaik --- Go and watch Ef ~ A tale of memories now! <cite>samurai bandit posted [p:899433486] in WTF...Goog...

Somewhere you agreed to it in one of the many EULA's you scrolled through and hit "agree" without reading. --- This is LinksLiege's signature. It is fantastic. <cite>LinksLiege posted [p:899434211] in WTF...Goog... [t:76505128]...</cite> <quote>Google tracks everything it possibly can.
