      Ok @Google. I had turned off YouTube history under my Google account settings. Today, I find out YouTube has been keeping my history for years anyway. See recent videos I watched! I track this stuff for a living. HOW THE HECK IS AN ORDINARY PERSON SUPPOSED TO MANAGE THIS? 😖😡🤬pic.twitter.com/NdJqEYfQIV

      It took me about three tries to completely turn off Google location tracking. I kept thinking I had turned it completely off, and it would just pop back up. If I can't manage this, who is supposed to? I have a technical background and write/research about all this for a living.

      This kind of whack-a-mole is the norm, Google and Facebook. I don't care if it is explicitly deliberate or not. It's their obvious and persistent choice to make it quite hard to opt-out—even for the few who do. Tracking should be opt-in, and then we'll see how hard they make it.

      There is apparently a whole other setting under YouTube—good luck discovering it, or even guessing that it exists, or that it is on anyway WHEN YOU ALREADY TURNED OFF YOUTUBE WATCH HISTORY IN GOOGLE ACCOUNT SETTINGS.pic.twitter.com/ar5WBq6UzU

      In effect, we have no privacy settings. We are just being phished into a situation of maximum data extraction. That's it.

      Can someone check or confirm this? Do you have to opt-out of history tracking on Google separately on every device? I thought that was the point of signing into the browser (don't get me started on the stealthiness of that but..): universal preferences. https://twitter.com/tammyinlalaland/status/978335061454946310 …
