Google's File On You Is 10 Times Bigger Than Facebook's - Here's How To View It

• https://www.zerohedge.com, by Jake Anderson

Google, Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft are all central players in "surveillance capitalism" and prey on our data. New reports actually suggest that Google may actually harvest ten times as much as Facebook.

Curious about just how much of his data Google had, web developer Dylan Curran says he downloaded his Google data file, which is offered by the company in a hub called "My Account." 

This hub was created in 2015, along with a tool called "My Activity." The report issued is similar to the one Facebook delivers to its users upon request. Whether or not these reports are comprehensive is still up in the air, but Curran says his was 5.5 GB, which is almost ten times larger than the one Facebook offered him. The amount and type of data in his file, Mr. Curran says, suggests Google is not only constantly tracking our online movements but may also be monitoring our physical locations.
