About this episode
This episode discusses what big tech companies know about users and how to protect privacy.
Ever wondered what Google really knows about you (this applies to other big tech companies as well) and how to prevent this unsolicited gathering of information (to avoid the nasty term "spying"), this is the episode you want to listen to. And of course the rest of the back catalog of shows you carefully managed to avoid so far as you were of the opinion that other drugs are better suited to put you to sleep in no time. But weren't aware of the side effects. Now for the good news: As Linux Inlaws doesn't have any side effects (apart from furthering your knowledge of course), there's no package insert (hooray! :-).
