GOOGLE?! So... left hand cleaning up the mess created by the right hand? Isn't that called a Ponzi scheme, or something?
This would be an extortion racket instead, I think.
Well, that's the same thing they did with the "Topics" thing in Chrome -- “we can track you and figure out what you like and send that information to other websites, but they can't do that directly. You are safe in our hands. Don't you see that's better?“
they just want to be the exclusive owner of all yours datas!
I just looked through the perks on my Google One and don't see this offering. I don't see it in the premium perks either. Do you happen to have a link? Is it some kind of hidden benefit?
It shows in your Google Account settings, takes me to https://one.google.com/dwr/dashboard
Google just checks for your details in known data leaks. They don't talk to data brokers on your behalf.
A few of my personal details were found on "dark web" according to Google. Well, they can't really talk to those people and say don't leak my password.
No they don't; they only offer 'dark web scanning'. https://one.google.com/about/security
