Make sure to read the whole article, not just the headlines.

Or, better yet, read the original Vice article they're quoting:

https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/wj7x9w/google-chrome-scans-files-on-your-windows-computer-chrome-cleanup-tool


As for the Information Liberation article, don't expect impartiality
from the author; in the article, they write about Google (emphasis added):

"This is the most dangerous company in the world and THEY'RE DOING
EVERYTHING in their power to CRUSH MY SITE and others who go against the
narrative."

Regardless of whether or not that statement may or may not be true, they
clearly have a personal stake in this.


I like the Vice article concluding that anyone that paranoid about
Google should really not be using their browser in the first place.

And Room 101 is probably in existence already.

The videos featuring Tucker Carlson and Breitbart are massive hints to 
me that I shouldn't be taking this all too seriously.

Also, he thinks an employee of a capitalist behemoth like The Google is 
"a far-left lunatic."  I did take a look at Schuh's Twitter feed.  It's 
pretty standard for progressives in the USA.  Only far *right* lunatics 
would consider it extreme, exactly the sort of people who don't have a 
solid grip on reality.

One thing to keep in mind is that right wing snowflakes are known to 
bellyache about their views being suppressed, even as they bask in 
mainstream media coverage and their view counts skyrocket.  Case in 
point, Diamond and Silk.
