    I don't think anyone thought that "incognito mode" his anything from anyone except the other users of that particular computer

        You’ve gone Incognito. Others who use this device won’t see your activity, so you can browse more privately. This won't change how data is collected by websites you visit and the services they use, including Google. Downloads, bookmarks and reading list items will be saved.

        - Google Chrome

          If anyone thought that Incognito somehow protected their data from websites or services, then that's their fault for jumping to that conclusion in the face of everything saying that's not the case.

          Also...

          In lawsuits settlement

          In meme sentence, words disappear.

              That was actually their lawyer's argument, that "incognito mode" being private was just something people assumed and ran with, not their fault.

                Well yeah, that's the only possible argument that the lawyer could even have.

                    Incognito was never about hiding your data from Google, it was always about preventing random websites from getting your data

                          Doesn't it specifically say on a new incognito tab that this doesn't protect against sites or service providers from gathering information....and only stops you from storing local information (history, cookies, etc)? Do people actually think that incognito is adding privacy protection?

                          Maybe I read it wrong but (to me) the meme makes it sound like Google's taking the local data (that's supposed to be forgotten, once you close the browser window) and sending it over to Google for them to, I dunno, run analysis on.

                          If they're saying that Google sites (like YouTube, Google search, etc.) were collecting data when I visit them (as, unfortunately, sites do), then I'd say, "Well, duh;" but this makes it seem like they were exporting your local data off to their cloud which, like, they could obviously, technically do but wouldn't very much be in the spirit of how Incognito mode was portrayed.

                            Incognito was never about privacy. It's about hiding your seach history from your parents or partner or whatever

                                I don’t believe for a second that they are actually going to delete any data they stole from users.

                                The raw data might be purged but no one talks about the ML modal that google trained with that data.

                                  It doesn’t even do that. All it does is prevent persistent data from being stored from the browsing session (so, no disk cache or browsing history).

                                      Except the part where all incognito tabs/windows share the same session.
