why do you think this is a coincidence? I thought there's nothing hidden that Google scans your conversations and targets you with ads.
And YouTube is part of Google portfolio... so nothing strange here
Is there a customer service at Google? Had no luck with them... once I got an email after they charged me twice for Play Music, but this was canned response. It took them almost 7 months to figure this out and pay my money back.
I wanted to switch from Google few times (always postponed it to a "next time"), but reading this today I realized how devastating it would be to get locked out. So in the next few days I will move away from Gmail.
I don't think this is an issue with LE or the implementation. Maybe we need different policies for such organizations, but this is for sure not a LE issue
It is not the first case for Telegram. So, Durov will continue with his show... they claim that Telegram is e2e encrypted, but don't mention that needs to be activated per chat
That they are not able to target you and others with ads worries me. I'm asking myself what are they doing with all this data they gather on people?
Regarding your point working at google, I don't think the entirety of google is evil. There have to be good people somewhere.
But some parts are just evil.
