> The little gnomes are watching me through the cracks in my ceiling. My psychologist told me my thinking is flawed, but I told them @ksd482 thinks their thinking is flawed cause they don't have proof otherwise.

Clever rhetoric aside, what are you suggesting?

Google has been using user's behavior to learn about them. This has been known for a long time. Even your emails aren't safe from it. So it stands to reason to "speculate" they might be doing something similar with your files as well. This may turn out not to be the case at all, but one can speculate given their track record.

Your original argument was "...and there is no proof that they are using your storage to spy on you", which effectively giving them a benefit of doubt.

But they don't have a good track record. So you still want to give them a benefit of doubt?

Apple is a company who I would give a benefit of the doubt in this space.

So my thinking is simply: a company that has a good track record with privacy --> give them a benefit of doubt. A company that doesn't --> don't give them a benefit of doubt.

When I look at your argument and fit it into the above model (probably overly simplistic), it is flawed thinking. That is what I meant.
