Google’s system automatically profiles you.Google’s system automatically checks whether it ‘has any data about you’.These two automated systems do NOT see the same thing.And when this contradiction becomes visible, they deny it.Please stand with me, people — we cannot let this slide.Google is operating unlawfully, and even on their own forum they cheat.They delete the truth because it hurts them!
Google’s “Results About You” just found1 resultfor me — after YEARS of using their services. This system is a joke. It’s not privacy, it’s PR.
They pretend to “scan the internet for your personal data,” but the tool only shows a tiny, useless fraction of what Google actually knows about you. New visitors need to understand this: the feature is basically a placebo.
If we don’t call this out publicly, Google will keep treating users like idiots. Open your eyes — this is not protection, it’s distraction.
All of my posts were removed, not just hidden. I am recording the evidence on video and will upload it publicly soon. Everything is archived, so it cannot be erased.
Google’s “Results About You” tool found exactly one result about me — and it’s just my own YouTube channel.
That’s all their search system can detect. That’s the level of “privacy protection” they offer.
Now compare that to this video:
In this recording you can clearly see how Google’s AI Overview builds a full profile about me from multiple sources:
forum posts, old comments, nicknames, linked accounts, regions, context — everything.
The AI knows far more about me than the privacy tool ever admits.
That’s the disturbing part:
Google’s AI can assemble a detailed profile about me,
while the official privacy tool barely finds anything at all.
This isn’t privacy. It’s PR.
Assuming google employees are browsing this forum, they can’t really do anything about your posts except escalating them internally to actually dig the issue you’re mentioning (low chance they would actually do that).
Burry it (like what they are doing), because you might be right, but it’s a legal issue and not a personal fight to be lead. If you are in europe, I recommend that you file a complaint to your Local National DPA.
You can file a complaint with the data protection authority in the EU country where you live. They are obligated to look into it and coordinate with other EU authorities.
Depending where you live they have different names: CNIL (France), BfDI (Germany), AEPD (Spain), GPDP (Italy), etc.
I already tried the official route — it’s useless. None of the authorities investigate anything. Don’t try to lecture me, I mean it. What you’re saying sounds nice in theory, but in reality it’s just a fairy tale. I’ve been through this whole process. The forum admin is deleting my posts right now because I’m right — my posts hit a nerve. You have no clue what this is actually about, you’re just pretending to be smart. Did you hear that from Gemini?
I’m not lecturing you. I’m telling you why they might be burrying your posts.
Yes, the part about where to file your complaint is AI written. And yes official routes are useless because they are probably drowning under such complaints right now, most of them even identified and written with AI, that is the irony.
I feel you.
Still, the more you’ll post on this forum, the more it’ll be classified as spam. You made your point, would be nice that someone from google answer to you, but because it’s sensitive, their best move is to play chicken here. So don’t expect nothing except a wall … I’m sorry. You must found another route.
It’s not that the topic is sensitive, it’s that Google doesn’t care about any of this — they only care about profit, nothing else. And taking something to court isn’t that simple, only if you have the nerves and the money for it.
With that in mind, go ahead and show off your ‘wisdom’.
This isn’t about them being slow — they simply don’t want to deal with this at all. I’ve been contacting them for half a year, and they don’t investigate anything. They even warned me to stop pushing the issue or they’d block me. That tells you everything.
I don’t know what to tell you appart that you’re not the only one to identify the system is cluttered and not working.
Just there is not much we can do about it. It’s just how europe works. It’s a big, nice looking, pile of nice written paper, where the reality is that really few of them are applicable (or enforced).
It’s a bigger issue than just google not respecting some parts of GDPR. It’s a societal collapse
A thread on the Google AI forum titled ‘Did Google AI Studio silently change safety filtering today?’ recently hit nearly 250 replies and over 7,000 views. It was deleted in its entirety. It was a hub for users documenting how the update from two weeks ago destroyed creative workflows and made the model hyper-sensitive and moralizing, effectively rendering the safety sliders useless
They aren’t just moderating; they are erasing evidence that their product has been degraded. I believe they are silencing us for a few specific reasons:
Avoiding Accountability: If they admit the update made the model worse, they’d have to explain why they prioritized corporate safety over actual utility. It’s easier for them to delete the proof than to justify it.
Controlling the Narrative: They want new users to believe Gemini is ‘amazing’ rather than a lobotomized tool. Deleting critical threads creates a false consensus that everything is working as intended.
Digital Exclusion: By banning users who push for answers, they use fear to silence the rest of the community. It’s a classic tactic to kill a grassroots movement before it gains real traction.
They treat us like children, and when we call them out on it, they shut us down. The fact that they are deleting these threads and banning users proves that they have no actual defense for what they’ve done -they’re just choosing profit and image over their most loyal and advanced users.
The real problem isn’t even moderation it’s that there are literally no humans at Google anymore.
I’ve never seen a single human on the Issue Tracker. Not ‘for months’ I mean never.
There’s no DPO, no support, no actual person to talk to.
Everything is bots, scripts, automated replies, and automated deletion.
You can’t even escalate anything because there is nobody on the other end.
That’s why they can erase anything instantly:
there’s no one who would have to take responsibility, because there’s simply no human involved at all.
I’m really glad someone finally wrote a braver reply under my post.
What you wrote is exactly the same pattern I’m experiencing you from the safety‑filter side, me from the data‑protection side.
I completely agree with the 3 points you listed.
What do you and the others reading my post think about this whole situation?
How the hell is Google able to get away with this?
It’s not that the authorities or Google don’t know what I’m talking about. They know exactly what this is about.
What’s on the forum is only the surface. The real materials, the evidence, the technical details have been in their hands for months.
I was emailing with them, but it was completely one‑sided.
I sent everything, they stayed silent.
No real answers, no reactions, no investigation.
The DPC literally committed procedural fraud.
For months they told me that my case was progressing and that they had handed it over to the CBA, even though they never handed over anything.
They lied the whole time, and the Google DPO was in CC on every email, so they all knew exactly what was happening.
And the best part is that they were lecturing me.
Telling me not to CC people and not to use AI to write emails, as if they had any say in how I communicate.
Ridiculous.
For six months I’ve sent thousands of emails to the authorities and to Google, and they all pretend to be deaf.
It’s not that they don’t understand.
It’s not that they don’t see it.
They know exactly what’s going on.
They are deliberately ignoring it.
At this point only one thing would work: a class action lawsuit.
The fact that they went from silence to actively lecturing you on how to write your emails - while simultaneously committing procedural fraud - is the ultimate proof that they see you as a threat to their narrative. They aren’t ignoring you because they are incompetent; they are ignoring you because you have evidence that threatens their bottom line and their public ‘safe AI’ image.
You’re right - at this scale, a class action is likely the only thing that could force them to even acknowledge the issue. Everything else is just theatre for them.
The fact that they tried to control your tone and your tools (like telling you not to use AI) is just pathetic - it shows they are so terrified of the truth that they’ll grasp at any straw to discredit you.
I’m curious: do you have a centralized place or a mirrored site where you are saving all the evidence you’ve gathered? If they are wiping the forum and blocking people, having a public ‘archive’ that they can’t touch might be the most valuable asset if you ever find a legal partner for a class action.
This is not a forum for developers anymore; it’s a graveyard for feedback. Google has chosen to hide behind bots and automated censorship, which shows they have completely lost touch with their user base. It’s a company that has outgrown human contact.
If you’re right and they are systematically deleting inconvenient truths, then the only rational response is to build our own infrastructure - away from their reach. Stay brave, keep documenting, and don’t let their automated walls make you doubt your own sanity
