Dammit Google by Numberz_ June 3, 2016 at 2:06 PM UTC

After watching a video by Unboxtherapy about Google recording conversations I found out that if you have a gmail account signed in on your phone it does a lot. It can record you talking if it's triggered by words like "ok" causing it to turn on its recording feature. There is also a site that tracks all of your history on that Google account. Things like search history, location, YouTube, passwords, voice and video recordings. This is some pretty crazy shit. If you want to check if you have any weird recording the link is https://history.google.com/history/ The video I watched explaining some of this.. https://youtu.be/TtmR9L0ITlM

I actually had nothing in my recordings or search history which is a bit surprising. Check your Google accounts xD

And what? It is normal. You can delete all that stuff. Nothing criminal.
Wait, you haven't read end-user license agreement? :OOOOO

I don't think anyone I know has. xD I knew Google was into some odd privacy stuff but wasn't going to read a massive document when signing up...
