Excuse me?
Google now moderates your saved bookmarks? The hell?
Email from Google; moderation of an item in my saved bookmarks. The email indicates a bookmark I had saved violates Google’s policy and they have hidden the bookmark from me and other users.

What. The actual fuck.

What platform? Is that just raw Chrome on Windows? Or is it on an Android? (curious how deeply they look - since I'm running eg a de-googled Chromium on Macos).

it’s the default bookmark sync across platforms, I believe.

but it's “my" bookmarks 🤔. I'm thinking - if they end2end encrypt them > won't be able to read them > no policy to violate! What a simple fix.

it's nice that they tell you, so you can switch to a browser that does not spy on you :BagThumb:

I’m glad I switched to Firefox. That is just patently absurd.

apparently, “favourite links”, my bookmarks list in Chrome, is a collection.

I'm glad I use Firefox. It's bad enough that Google now reads dates in my emails and sends* me reminders that those emails exist on that date.

(*I turned off the reminders finally. I'm sure I can't stop it from reading my email.)

I use Firefox, Brave, Vivaldi. I don't have Chrome on my pc.

Gmaps shared my location with a contact in my Gmail. I deleted gmaps and Gmail from phone.

Can anyone recommend an email?
