Hi I recently reviewed my Google account settings on my phone. On exploring it I found that I can Remove almost every annoying tracker,I can delete my data,Remove services,Disable Personised ads etc.After giving it 20minutes of my day I found that Google do not deserve the Hate it gets from FOSS and PRIVACY Consious people.Is there some real reason why you should not use google products for privacy or It is just everybody want to live a Hacker's life.

That can be some general data like where I live,Who I am,What I do etc. But do they gather data like what I like even after I disable these things off ? Also, do they review my personal data on there servers like my google photos,Files on drive etc ? 🤨🤨
