        • OP claimed it’s his private bookmarks not facing public

        • the site doesn’t contain any illegal content. It’s just google being overzealous and intrusive

        • Google Keep Notes has a sharing note feature. You think it would ok for them to sniff what you noting and delete it if they didn’t like it?

        • one again - there’s nothing illegal on that website, nor is accessing it or sharing it’s address

          OP is mistaken. Read the email in the screenshot.

        They don’t have to, they choose to. You can share bookmarks on Firefox, but Mozilla doesn’t filter nor censor them Orwellian style.

            No, it’s when the company attempts to assume the role of a governing body and delves into the privacy of people’s bedrooms.

      If you’re going to store something on someone else’s computer (Google cloud), they have every right to control what is and is not allowed on their systems. Don’t like it? Use encryption, selfhost, etc…
