Pretty scary shit. If you log out of Google on your computer, I bet they still match your IP address to you. Which is a bit dodgy as a lot of internet providers have dynamic IPs. Who's to say the next person using the last IP you had isn't googling ISIS, bomb making, drug smuggling, etc?

Ofc I would use Bing for that. :D

I downloaded my facebook data the other day. Nothing I didn't expect to see as I don't post on there much despite reading it most days, though it turns out I've clicked on less than 50 fb ads over the past 10 years.

Google, on the other hand, really knows everything android users do, and the rest if you sign in to any google services. As do Apple with iphone users.

The cost of being able to use fairly mind blowing technology that seemed improbably or impossible 15 years ago, for "free".
