We can turn of location tracking on google apps but still google can trace your moving with any app you have installed because we all are using Playstore.
Does the Playstore have access to your location? I don't have an android phone, but I thought you can give each app permissions? |

But the reality is, most of the people don't care about their privacy or they think there is nothing to hide from the whole world so they just let the google to steal all their data.We can look for alternatives to google products but still we can't claim 100% anonymity.Smartphones means no privacy.
Thats exactly the problem. I don't think its not caring, but it just seems like too much work to move elsewhere. I mean I bet 95% of the people using Gmail or Google in general don't know that there are settings to increase your privacy. Google is literally tracking your every move, where you go and which stores you go in to. This has so much value, which ads to show, which products you are interested in and this combined with your gmail. -> Treasure Cove! |

I've been using DuckGoGo for a while as my standard engine now. After watching the documentary of netflix, I started looking into it a bit more serioiusly and was quite shocked.
I have switched to DuckDuckGo and I have been getting used to it. Siwtched over to Firefox also, so slowly moving away. - Written from my chromebook

Hallo Jungs,
das ging aber echt schnell. Hier haben die Mühlen der Gesetze nicht langsam gemahlt.
Hab heute das Schreiben der Staatsanwaltschaft bekommen:
Das Verfahren wurde eingestellt.
Damit habe ich gerechnet oder vielmehr gehofft, aber das es so schnell geht habe ich nicht gedacht.
Mir fällt ein Stein vom Herzen...
Viele Grüße,
Willi
Danke für das Update! Schön zu hören, dass das Verfahren eingestellt wurde! Bin aber selbst ein wenig überrascht wie schnell das alles ablief. |

Was denkt ihr?
Weit weg von der Seite bleiben... Mal abgesehen von den Rechtschreibfehlern und grammatikalischen Fehlern sieht das nicht sehr vertrauenswürdig aus. Keinerlei Infos und man soll sein Ausweis hin senden? Nein Danke. |

^^^ Isn't Firefox owned by Google?  Google paid Mozilla some decent amount of cash to have Google Search set as default search engine. But Google does not own Mozilla nor Firefox. |

 Zu argumentieren, dass man sich nicht um das Recht auf Privatsphäre schert, weil man nichts zu verbergen habe, ist nichts anderes, als wenn man konstatiert, dass man sich nicht um freie Meinungsäußerung schert, weil man nichts zu sagen hat." - Edward Snowden Hello zusammen. Ich habe den Thread zunächst im globalen Beginner Forum erstellt. Jetzt kommt er hier auch noch her. In Zukunft kommen meine deutschen Freunde als Erstes dran =) COVID-19 hatte mich angeregt mir Gedanken über meine Privatsphäre zu machen. Wir nehmen alle das Internet nicht ernst genug, wir machen uns keine Gedanken welche Spuren wir hinterlassen und was Google mit diesen anstellt. Google, Ja die mit dem großen G. Wir benutzen Google täglich, sei es Gmail, Maps, Hangouts... Ja es ist kostenlos, ABER du zahlst einfach mit deinen Daten und diese sind Google sehr viel lieber![/u] Ich zähle mich selbst dazu, Ich nutze (noch!) Gmail, die Google Suche, Google Translate und Google Maps... nur um ein paar davon zu nennen. Nur durch diese Information weiß Google soviel. Nach was ich suche, wo ich war, Bilder von mir und anderen Menschen. Dadurch setze ich nicht nur meine Privatsphäre aufs Spiel sondern auch die meiner Familie und Freunden. Google macht uns das Leben schon leichter das stimmt und ja, die Alternativen werden anders sein. Sie werden wahrscheinlich nicht so gut sein wie das Google-Produkt. Mein Vorschlag, langsam anfangen. Man muss ja nicht alles ersetzen, nutzt man Google Mail nicht mehr, ist das eine Info weniger die Google von dir hat. Ich gebe euch hier ein paar Tipps zum #degoogle- Wann
- Warum
- Wie
- Die Alternativen
- Nennenswerte Addons
- Bonus: Highlights von Daten Leaks (meist englische Quellen)
WannWie wichtig ist dir deine Privatsphäre, und die Privatsphäre deiner Familie und Freunde? Ich für meinen Teil hatte diesen Gedanken, nachdem ich mit ein paar Freunden gesprochen hatte, und fing sofort damit an. Die Zeit ist JETZT.Hier nur ein Highlight wie Google den Datenschutz als selbstverständlich ansieht. Sagt dir Recaptcha etwas? Für dich sieht es so aus, als würdest du Bilder von Autos, Schildern und Zebrastreifen klicken, um Google zu beweisen, dass du kein Roboter bist. Zum Teil ist das richtig, aber einer der Hauptgründe dafür ist, dass es Googles KI hilft, zu lernen und noch intelligenter zu werden. Mit nur Ihren einfachen Klicks verfolgen sie Mausbewegungen, Reaktionszeit und das Schlimmste von allem: Sie pingen die Captcha-Box an, um den eigenen Standort zu bestimmen. Official Zitat des Google Blogs: Wir haben ein Backend für die Erweiterte Risikoanalyse für reCAPTCHA entwickelt, das aktiv die gesamte Interaktion eines Benutzers mit dem CAPTCHA berücksichtigt - vor, während und danach - um festzustellen, ob dieser Benutzer ein Mensch ist. Dadurch können wir uns weniger auf die Eingabe von verzerrtem Text verlassen und den Benutzern eine bessere Benutzerfreundlichkeit bieten.
Warum- Du hast ein Recht auf Privatsphäre
- Überwachung
- Hör auf Google alles von dir preiszugeben
Nimm dir ein paar Minuten Zeit, denk darüber nach, welchen Dienst du benutzt und welche Daten du hinterlässt... Es ist ziemlich erschreckend, wenn man darüber nachdenkt. Du verhältst dich in der Öffentlichkeit doch auch nicht so, du würdest diese Dinge Fremden nicht erzählen/zeigen. Wirf einfach einen Blick auf all die Daten, die Google über dich gespeichert hat: Spoiler: Löschen von Mail in Google Mail? Diese werden nicht gelöscht
WieJa, komplett Google zu entfernen wird schwer. Weil Google wirklich fast überall ist! Aber du kannst ja auch langsam mit #degoogle anfangen. Du bist noch nicht bereit, Google zu verlassen. Achte zumindest darauf, zumindest die Datenschutzeinstellungen zu aktualisieren/anzupassen.
Die AlternativenIch werde das "Augen Prinzip" nutzen. 5-Augen, 9-Augen and 14-Augen Kurz gesagt, es sind die internationalen Überwachungsallianzen. 5-Augen: Australien, Kanada, Neuseeland, UK, USA 9-Augen: 5-Augen+Dänemark, Frankreich, Niederlande, Norwegen 14-Augen: 9-Augen+Deutschland, Belgien, Italien, Schweden, Spanien Chrome BrowserDieser sollte relativ leicht zu ersetzen sein... Wenn du keine große Änderung willst, benutze Mozilla Firefox und benutze einige der Addons, die ich weiter unten aufgelistet habe, um dein Surferlebnis privater zu gestalten. Google MailIch habe dir vorher schon Links gezeigt warum du diesen ersetzen solltest. Google Mail ist kostenlos, hat eine riesige Menge an Speicherplatz, eine saubere Schnittstelle, aber wir bezahlen alle mit unseren Daten. Google SucheDie allbekannte Google-Suche, wer benutzt sie nicht? Hey, lasst uns googeln. Google hat eine riesige Datenbank über jeden von uns aufgebaut... Lasst uns aufhören, denen mehr Informationen zu geben! PhotosHier sind einige Alternativen zu Google Photos. Google hat alles von uns, lassen Sie sie nicht auch die Kontrolle über deine Fotos übernehmen... Hangouts (Instant Messaging)Ich habe einige Alternativen zu Google Hangouts oder allgemein aufgelistet. Telegram ist nicht auf dieser Liste, der Chat ist zwar verschlüsselt sein, Telegramm enthält alle Schlüssel, so dass sie ihn leicht entschlüsseln könnten. Mit Whatsapp will ich nicht anfangen. Maps/Street ViewIch muss zugeben, dass Google Maps eine der besten Kartenanwendungen überhaupt ist. Es hat die aktuellsten Daten, die beste Benutzeroberfläche. Ich habe unten einige aufgelistet, aber ich muss zugeben, dass Google Maps immer einen Schritt voraus ist. Google Drive/StorageGoogle Play StoreAndroid - HINWEIS: Bootloader muss entsperrt werden How to Mit dem alternativen Betriebssystem wird es möglich sein, Stock Android durch ein Android-System zu ersetzen, das unter besonderer Berücksichtigung des Datenschutzes sicherer gemacht wurde.
Alternative OSHat jetzt nichts mit Google zu tun aber hier ein paar sichere OS, als Alternative zu Windows, die Ihre Prio auf Privatsphäre/Sicherheit legen
Nützliche Browser-AddonsDies sind einige nützliche Addons, die Das Surfen sicherer und privater machen. Ich habe einige aufgelistet. Alle sind für Firefox, welches ich in den Alternativen für Google Chrome verlinkt habe. - Noiszy ist ein Browser-Plugin, das sinnlose Webdaten erzeugt - digitales "Rauschen". Tarnt somit dein wahres Verhalten
- Privacy Badger - lernt automatisch, unsichtbare Tracker zu blockieren
- Decentraleyes - Schützt vor Nachverfolgung durch "kostenlose", zentralisierte Bereitstellung von Inhalten
- HTTPS Everywhere - aktiviert die HTTPS-Verschlüsselung automatisch auf Websites, von denen bekannt ist, dass sie diese unterstützen
- Temporary Containers - automatisch verwaltete Einwegbehälter. Container isolieren Daten, die von Websites gespeichert werden (Cookies, Speicherung und mehr), voneinander
- Cookie AutoDelete - Selbstzerstörende Cookies - Wenn eine Registerkarte geschlossen wird, werden alle nicht verwendeten Cookies automatisch gelöscht. Eine Whitelist derer, denen Sie vertrauen ist gegeben
- uBlock Origin - ein effizienter weitreichender Inhaltsblocker. Schont CPU und Speicher
- Cookie AutoDelete - löscht Cookies nach dem Schließen der Webseite
- Privacy Badger - verhindert Tracking
Bonus: Highlights von Daten Leaks (meist englische Quellen)Dies ist nur eine kleine Liste, diese Liste kann möglicherweise endlos fortgesetzt werden. Es gab so viele Datenschutzverletzungen oder Fälle, in denen Unternehmen offen zugeben, dass sie Ihre Daten verkauft oder gespeichert haben.

Recently when i'm looking news about Zoom, i found out Keybase was bought by Zoom. Zoom is known to have bad security, bad privacy and lying about feature of their service. I don't use Keybase, but i'd have some concern if i were to use Keybase. Source : https://keybase.io/blog/keybase-joins-zoomThis is what I love about this community! Thanks for pointing that out, I will remove it. Yes Zoom has been the center of attention with their security flaws. |

A very good post with a lot of useful information, and what I especially appreciate is that every service from Google have an alternative which means online life without Google is possible, but still not quite as simple as pressing a button.
I can only say that privacy is not something that worries most people too much these days, especially since some governments around the world have put security ahead of privacy and most people have accepted it for granted. I personally can say for myself that I would like to have a much higher degree of privacy than I have today, but it is not easy to throw out some habits.
I definitely agree that it is quite insane to stop using all Google services at some point, so gradually replacing individual applications is the best solution. I've been using Firefox again for a while now, and I'm also seriously considering putting Gmail out of use altogether. I think it’s a good start, definitely something anyone can do.
Thanks for the kind words. Yes its not going to be an easy task, since Google really has some quality products and I have been using Gmail for so long. https://www.xda-developers.com/google-apple-contact-tracing-coronavirus/I added the links in the Original post and linked you in the contributions. I didnt even know this was going on. Yes seems like they are helping, but they dont mind the extra data they can harvest from us using COVID-19 as reasoning! |

I'm glad to see people finally waking up to the reality & see how their data is mined and used. Well done!
One little mention: when you listed the Android custom ROMs, you can remove the "Rooted Device required" note. As soon as you have an unlocked bootloader, you can flash a custom ROM (I personally prefer TWRP) through which you can easily backup your current OS and install a fresh new one. But root isn't necessary.
Thanks alot, very much appreciated. I have added a contribution area where I will list everyone that has contributed to the list. I remove the hint and replaced it with a guide of how to unlock your Bootloader. Sadly it cant be done for all phones. I'm very curious, why did you list all 3 ROMs (LineageOS, Graphene OS and Replicant) as "5 Eyes"? Here are two more IM (Instant Messenger) apps I suggest to those willing to Degoogle: - Conversations (FREE from F-Droid; Expert Settings has an option to enable Tor routing)
- Briar (FREE from Play Store; this one is completely decentralised, works through any connection (Bluetooth, local hotspot, Wi-Fi, Mobile Data but might drain the battery faster)
The "Eyes" Concept is based on where the company is located that made the specific program. Multiple sources I have looked at told me they are based in a location thats part of the 5 Eye Alliance. If you wish, you could also include some computer Operating Systems as (free) replacements for Windows: - Qubes OS - Runs each app in a separate Virtual Machine but has pretty high system requirements
- Parrot OS - Runs on Debian and has lots of interesting features especially when it comes to cryptography, hacking etc, the one I like the most being Anonsurf (running system-wide Tor for anonymity)
- Tails - Temporary amnesic OS that resets & deletes any change upon reboot. You could flash it on an >8GB USB stick. I use it the most for browsing and downloading stuff I only need temporarily.
- Basically any Linux system - Most Linux systems are better than Windows when it comes to privacy. The most-known distros such as Debian, Arch Linux, Ubuntu etc also have amazing support from the community in case you ever have a problem (and most issues are easily solvable through simple Internet searches).
These would probably be good alternatives to the Google OS thats installed on Chromebooks. Replacing windows is a whole other chapter =) The first thing we should do in my opinion is changing the OS of your mobile phones and computers. Swapping Chrome for Tor Browser, for example is of no use if the system itself scraps data off your computer/mobile. Remember, do NOT flash the GApps file on your phone! Only the Custom ROM; installing GApps will install all the Google stuff. Overall, it's a great post. If someone could give the OP 5 Merits from me, I'd be grateful I'm interested in translating this topic to my Local board. Let's spread the word! Agreed, even small steps will change your privacy to the better! Thanks for the kind words and please do translate and share the word. Just link back to the original and get a conversation started there! |

"Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say." - Edward Snowden Hello fellow Internet Users, This covid 19 pandemic really has made me think about my privacy on the internet. I really think that we are all taking the internet too lightly, not knowing where, when and what kind of trace/footsteps we leave behind and what its worth for Google. Google, yes that big G. Most of us use it, well because it works and its free... Here comes the big BUT. Free in $ terms, but we are paying so much more with all of our data.Myself included, I use(slowly moving) Gmail, Google Search, Google Translate, Google Photos, Google Maps just to name a few. Now just looking at this, Google knows so much about me. Starting from my Search History, where I been, pictures of other people I know... Im not just putting my privacy on a Platter, I'm putting family and friends privacy there too... Yes, Google makes our lifes easier and yes the alternatives will be different. They will probably not be as good as the Google Product, so it might be useful to start slow. You don't have to replace all of them, if you for example stop using Google Mail, thats one info less they have... So let me give you fellow users some tips to #degoogle- The When
- The Why
- The How
- The Alternatives
- Useful Addons
- Bonus: Highlights of Data Breaches
The WhenWell how important is your privacy? your familes and friends privacy? I for myself had that thought after talking to a couple of friends and immediately started. The time is NOWLet me just point out some highlights how Google is taking your privacy for granted. Recaptcha ring a bell? To you it seems you're clicking on pictures of cars, signs, crosswalks to prove to Google that you are not a robot. In part its true, but one of the main reasons is its helping Google's AI learn, be even smarter. With just your simple clicks they track mouse movements, response time and the worst of all ping your captcha box to determine your location. Official Quote from the Google Blog: we developed an Advanced Risk Analysis backend for reCAPTCHA that actively considers a user's entire engagement with the CAPTCHA--before, during, and after--to determine whether that user is a human. This enables us to rely less on typing distorted text and, in turn, offer a better experience for users.
The Why- You have a right to privacy
- Surveillance
- Stop giving Google all your information
Take a few minutes, think about what Service you're using and what Data you are leaving behind... Its pretty scary when you think about it. You wouldn't act this way in public, you wouldn't tell/show those things to strangers. Just take a look of all the data Google has saved on you: Spoiler: Deleting Mail in your gmail? You will notice they will still be there.
The HowFirst of all, yes Google makes our lifes easier. Getting rid of Google, most likely near impossible... BUT there are steps to slowly #degoogle. You arent ready to leave Google all the way, at least make sure to update some privacy settings, at the very least.
The AlternativesI will be using the common term of 5-Eyes, 9-Eyes and 14-Eyes if available In short its the international surveillance alliances. 5-Eyes: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, UK, USA 9-Eyes: 5-Eyes+Denmark, France, Netherlands, Norway 14-Eyes: 9-Eyes+Germany, Belgium, Italy, Sweden, Spain Chrome BrowserThis one should be relatively easily to replace... If you don't want a big change, use Mozilla Firefox and use some of the addons I have listed further down to make your surfing experience more private. MailI have shown you links previously, Google Mail is free Info for them. Yes it has a huge amount of storage, a clean interface but we are all paying with our data. SearchGoogle Search, who doesn't use it? Hey lets google this and that. Google has built a huge database of everyone of us... Lets stop giving them more info! PhotosHere are some Google Photos alternatives. Google has everything from us, don't let them also take control of your pictures... Hangouts (Instant Messaging)I have listed some alternatives to Google Hangouts or in general. Dont get me started on Whatsapp. Telegram is not on this list, the chat might be encrypted but Telegram hold all the encryption keys so they could easily decrypt it. Keybase has been removed (thanks ETFbitcoin) Maps/Street ViewI have to admit that Google Maps is one of the best map software around. It has the most up to date Data, best User Interface. I have listed some below but I have to admit Google Maps stays ahead of the game. Google Play StoreAndroid - NOTE: Bootloader needs to be unlocked How to With the alternative OS you will be able to replace Stock Android with an Android System that has been made more secure with an emphasis on privacy. Google Drive/Storage
Alternative OSNothing to do with Google but I will list some alternative OS that have the priority on Security and Privacy!
Useful Browser AddonsThese are some useful addons to make your surfing experience safer and more private. I have listed a few. All of them are for Firefox which I have linked up in the alternatives for Google Chrome.
Bonus: Highlights of Data Breaches (not only Google relatedThis is just a small list, this list can go on possibly forever. There have been so many data breaches or where companies openly admit they have been selling or storing your data. Google admits its new smart speaker was eavesdropping on users5 Million Google Passwords LeakedFacebook: Your Personal Info for SaleGoogle and Mastercard Cut a Secret Ad Deal to Track Retail Sales Marriott - passport numbers and credit card information -- of up to 383 million guests.How PayPal Shares your dataHundreds of millions of Facebook and Instagram users credentials were exposed Hundred of millions of insurance documents leaked by real estate giant First American Financial Corp4 billion social media profile records were exposed

I can recommend the following book, it really makes you think about how much it would affect all of us if there really was a wide range cyberattack on our power grid. What I really like about the book, its realism. Its not just plain non background facts, he got the knowledge and facts from intelligence and computer security officials. Blackout: Tomorrow Will Be Too Late by the Austrian author Marc Elsberg.  The novel is about a European power outage due to a cyberattack. For realism the book is written on the basis of interviews with intelligence and computer security officials Plot (wikipedia) The novel starts with a collapse of electrical grids across Europe, plunging the population into darkness and disaster.[2][3] The prolonged electricity cut causes major problems: no more petrol, no telephone, no food in supermarkets, no cash machines working, nuclear disasters, etc.[3][4] A former computer hacker and IT professional tries to find out the root cause for this. While doing so he himself becomes a hunted person as officials find suspicious e-mails sent from his laptop and think that he is involved. |
