   Excuse me?
   Google now moderates your saved bookmarks? The hell?

     @silvermoon82 it's nice that they tell you, so you can switch to a browser that does not spy on you :BagThumb:

     @silvermoon82 next step is to block access to the site altogether.

     @silvermoon82 Hey Eddie, not to worry, they’re just moderating their bookmarks. (They were never yours.)

     Isn’t surveillance capitalism great? :)

     No kidding! Probably one of the most successful Firefox promotional emails ever sent!

     Yeah. I hadn’t been to KAT in a while and thought it would be funny if the Wikipedia article linked to the domain while Google was banning it. Caught up on Artem Vaulin’s story. The US had him thrown in a Polish prison and planned to extradite him but he disappeared while on bail. Good for him

     Does that affect bookmarks exported to Google Cloud / Drive, or do you suspect that Google goes through your browser's history and bookmarks on your machine?

     @simsa03 I suspect it has to do with being logged into Google in the Chrome browser or a Chromebook laptop. It will automatically save bookmarks and tabs in the cloud.
     
     But the screenshot I saw mentioned hiding the bookmark from the person and from others, so maybe there's a Google-owned bookmark sharing site.

     That was my main question. Is it possible that Google sneaks into the bookmarks on the machine and sort of malwares around? A different thing may be if this happened on a bookmark-sharing site, because that would have some specific TOUs, to which a user needs to comply before using it. In the later case, it wouldn't not intrude on the user's machine but on some site at Goggle's.

     @silvermoon82 ... And this, people, is why you should always (have an option to) use end-to-end encryption for all the data that you store anywhere else than locally on your devices (and then, said devices should use encrypted storage).
