What Google Knows About You Is Absolutely Terrifying

What is Google? If your answer is "a search engine," you are so wrong. And you're missing what makes Google so powerful (and dangerous). I'll explain this episode.

Google is an entire ecosystem! It’s not just Search; it’s also YouTube, Gmail, Google Apps, Google Maps, Android OS, Chrome, Google Display Network, and Google Analytics.

Scared? You probably should be. All of this data collection puts Google in a position to understand human intent more than any entity that's ever existed. In fact, in April of 2015, Google told a woman she was pregnant BEFORE SHE KNEW SHE WAS PREGNANT! (Source: Moz). That was 8 years ago...

While Google started as a search engine, it's really an entire ecosystem. In fact, if you combine all of Google's properties, they make up the vast majority of how people spend their time online.

Everything you do within that ecosystem is appended to your user profile within Google to begin understanding who you are demographically and psychographically. This allows Google to begin understanding how you behave. In fact, I posit that Google's unstated intent is to predict human behavior.
