• Resumen

  • Revell shares his eight days data detox experience. Day 1 of the data detox: Escape the Google funhouse mirror. The kit starts by asking him to identify the problem. Search for themselves online, it demands--not just with Google, but also a search engine such as DuckDuckGo that doesn't use their data trail to tailor results to them. In days 2 and 3, he's tasked with finding out what Google and Facebook think they know about him. Using his activity.google.com, he finds out that Google is tracking where he's going, what he watches on YouTube and what he have searched for, pumping it all back into operation data slurp.
