Just when I thought this system couldn’t get any more contradictory, Google handed me the ultimate piece of evidence against themselves.
To comply with data portability laws, Google allows you to export your forum data. Today, I downloaded my archive (user_archive-Bitu79-260621-073211-2780.zip).
Instead of just useless metadata, this system-generated file contains the exact raw server logs of my entire activity. Specifically, the queued_posts.csv file holds the exact text of my formal complaints about the 32-day data retention failure in AI Studio and my explicit warnings that I have sent registered legal letters to Google’s Legal Dept and DPO—which have been ignored for over 6 months.
Why is this important?
Because Google generated this file.
They can no longer claim “technical error”, they cannot claim user manipulation, and they cannot claim they “didn’t receive the notification.” Their own backend database proves that they successfully logged my identity, my GDPR complaints, and my legal warnings. Yet, their response has been nothing but deploying automated bots pretending to be humans (“Emily”, “Csilla”) to deflect the issue.
I have now emailed this exact ZIP file back to the Google DPO. You cannot gaslight a user when your own server logs confirm everything the user is saying. This archive is now permanent, unalterable legal evidence.
Across its entire ecosystem (whether it is YouTube moderation, AI Studio data protection, or anything else), Google employs the same robotic, responsibility-shifting tactics, hiding behind bots. They never provide a real answer to the user about anything; they just keep sending automated templates. But with this server log, I can now prove that they are fully aware of everything. This is an authenticated, raw database extract generated directly by Google’s own servers. In a court of law, Google cannot dismiss this as a ‘forgery’ or a ‘user error,’ because they exported it to me themselves.
not surprised at all, same for Google business profile and Google Ads. Not sure about the privacy/ gdpr stuff but they def use AI bots to handle very serious customer support issues
Do you understand how many people want to talk to Google from all forms of the Alphabet company? There are probably more people wanting to talk to them than financial transactions they make. It’s insane. To expect them to be able to accurately handle that volume of content is insane. Now if they get maybe 100,000 of the same message in a single day, then they take notice. Else it’s not worth wasting their time on. It’s just the reality of the system. You just have to accept it. Unless you can get another 100,000 people to join you, with all of you having the same problem, and all of you working together to get Google to listen, you have NO chance. The only other thing you would have a chance with is if you have 100% legal proof that their millions of lawers can’t possibly defend against, and you have a spare $100k lying around to spend on legal fees, then you can take them to court Else, you are probably better off getting over it, accepting reality, and spending your valuable seconds on something you actually enjoy. I gave up trying to be heard long ago and just accepted that people will die and the system is built that way. So I can either cry about it or go play computer games and enjoy my life. Pretty horrific reality but it is what it is. No point in fighting something and stressing when you have zero agency over what happens.
Thanks for your input, but there’s a fundamental difference between your situation and mine.
You may have given up on dealing with Google, but I didn’t — and unlike you, I actually obtained system‑generated, authenticated server logs directly from Google’s backend. That’s not speculation, not opinion, not “accepting reality” — it’s legal‑grade evidence.
If someone chooses to stop fighting, that’s their personal choice. But please don’t project that defeat onto others who actually have documented proof and a valid GDPR case.
I’m not here to “accept the system”. I’m here because Google’s own exported data confirms a 6‑month failure to act on GDPR‑relevant complaints. That’s not something I’m going to shrug off or replace with video games.
If you’re fine with giving up, that’s your path. Mine is different.
Yeah but they aren’t concerned. It’s not going to cost them a cent. The moment it starts being a real problem to numerous people, then they will start considering actually looking at it. Then if it gets serious enough on a global scale, then they might actually do something about it. But 1 person posting on a forum is not about to sway an entire conglomerate that doesn’t even look at the forum. If you can get together a class action lawsuit against them, they’ll listen then. Can you get a class action lawsuit going?
However let it be noted that I’m not suggesting people sue Google. If there is a real legal problem and people take the real legal path to address it in a civilized manner, Google are well equipped to address any significant legal concerns that come across their desk in the proper legal process.
If for some reason that’s not an option, then that’s just how things go. I’ve been burnt legally in the past and rather than pay thousands of dollars to get back less than the court costs, I just let it go. Many people who can’t afford the court costs do a similar thing. Just the reality of the system unfortunately.
But sure if you can get it changed, awesome! That would be super cool.
I just think someone could drop the entire code base for AGI on this forum and it will get 2 likes and then fade away into the forum archived threads. LOL. Just the reality of the system.
Please read all my posts before replying. I’ve already proven everything with actual system‑generated evidence. I’m not just talking — I have documented proof.
I’m not saying you don’t have proof. I’m saying if you do, just follow the standard legal process if you want to pursue it. If not, don’t. I can’t tell if it’s proof or not. All I know is that with my legal experience, having proof isn’t always enough. It’s a matter of the court costs, and the time and effort needed to make the change you want happen. If it’s not worth it, then don’t. If it is, then do it. No point in whining about it on a forum that has 10 no bodies looking at it. LOL We basically know nothing really when it comes to all this. But I for one like to see people talking about cool ideas. I like exploring ideas with them. Even if the ideas are completely nuts. Because that’s about the only thing that this forum is good for. Maybe small assistance with getting some things working.
Point being, there’s no point in complaining about it to us. We aren’t going to change anything. If you have the legal avenue and want to take it, go for it. If not, do something different that you enjoy. Either way is progress.
Your post on here is documented. In a decade’s time when a supreme court or something demands Google fix it you can say, “See I worked that out over a decade ago!” So done
And. You proved it to me. Now what? You can prove that you have ASI and it still wouldn’t change anything by sharing it here. Go show some worms in the backyard. They will probably have more chance of taking notice and actually responding than posting it here. I’m not having a go at you. I’m pointing out how pointless it is to try and get any response here. Answer this. Did you read my posts? All of them? Okay maybe not. Do you intend to? Maybe Hell no? That’s fine. I don’t expect people to read it. That’s just how things go. If people actually read things here seriously, OMG that would be nuts!
The forum does matter.
Not because this is where Google will resolve the issue, but because public, timestamped documentation has real value. Everything written here becomes archived, searchable, and independently preserved — including through systems like the Wayback Machine.
That means this thread serves as a permanent record of the timeline, the evidence, and the fact that the issue was raised. It is part of the broader documentation, not an attempt to get attention from random readers.
It’s completely fine if you don’t plan to read every post.
But that doesn’t change the fact that documenting the facts here is meaningful, both for accountability and for anyone who may face the same problem later.
Else, you are probably better off getting over it, accepting reality, and spending your valuable seconds on something you actually enjoy. I gave up trying to be heard long ago and just accepted that people will die and the system is built that way. So I can either cry about it or go play computer games and enjoy my life. Pretty horrific reality but it is what it is. No point in fighting something and stressing when you have zero agency over what happens.
