Add Facebook to the list. They’re certainly guilty of providing content riddled with lies to the masses and the uneducated have been very predictable consumers.
Yeah, Trump certainly took advantage of that with Cambridge Analytica identifying targets for his campaign to exploit with false information.
A serious and honest question: what can be done about it? It's nearly impossible to not use any products that don't interface with Google in some way, and even if a number of people abstain from using it, it's still reaching a larger number of people than not. So what are some possible solutions?
If Google is on you phone and you don't use it it is still collecting info.
But they aren't tracking you and that was the point.
Opera browser with vpn turned on and DuckDuckGo for searching.
If they want to track me than I am gonna make them work for it !
Yeah, just saying that you use duckduckgo as your search engine or browser is not enough. Anywhere google ads are used(including this very site) is trying to track you whether explicitly if you don't block them or via fingerprint.

Clara likes that google knows she has a dog.
I'd wager that the majority of Americans are like Clara and like how google remembers them.
And what's not to like about that? That would be helpful if you're trying to track a relative with dementia, figure out who is sending you harassing emails, who stole your car and where is it now, etc.
Would you like someone staring at you through your living room window 24/7/365 recording your every move?
It's the same thing only instead of a physical presence, it's a tech presence.
Still OK with that? I'm guessing yes, yes you are.

It's sad.
Google is not your friend or your family. It's tech.
