When people started calling my personal mobile number with questions about a voluntary organisation I'm involved with, I was confused: we weren't sharing that number. It turns out that Google had decided to take the number I used to verify my identity for Google Business some years prior and start putting it in Google Search results. WTF, Google?
that’s a problem too, but the discussion was about interacting with google. fuck them for showing ads down our throats, but at least they don’t know who watches the video (when using a proxy like invidious), and so they can’t build a profile of you, and they can’t bombard you with tailored manipulative ads either, just something possibly totally irrelevant.
