A secret program called "Project Ghostbusters" saw Facebook devise a way to intercept and decrypt the encrypted network traffic of Snapchat users to study their behavior.
Let’s be real for a moment, when has legality stopped Google?
I’m not saying you’re wrong, but until relatively recently countries have not been holding Google or other big tech companies to task beyond a measily small percentage of their annual revenue
Actually no, my statement “until recently” was referring to GDPR. I think GDPR is amazing and I’m glad we have it even if I’m an American.
The rest of your statement is fairly factual. The only point I could consider is someone would have to prove the keyboard is tracking us which unless someone at Google wants to whistleblower isn’t the easiest task. Whistleblowers have their own issues to content with.
I don’t think it would be insane at all. I just think it’s unlikely. Big well known companies do wildly illegal stuff all the time, for instance, Meta (Facebook) in the article posted here.
In evaluation of threats, that standard is way too high. The possibility is real even if unlikely. Unlikely things happen daily we just can’t predict which ones, because they’re each unlikely.
I was pointing out that the poster was likely referring to Gboard, not that I have knowledge about any data being collected by Gboard or any other keyboard software.
Willing to bet they meant in the context of whatever you search for with Google.
Or the default Gboard on Android phones.
