Amazing, that's like a year and a half and it must have survived reboots 
and updates to the OS. Your maid sounds like the kind of high level 
target that Google finds it profitable to store and process data at that 
kind of level. Perhaps they are working with the NSA because working 
around OS updates and reboots is the kind work that requires a state 
level actor to action. Either she is the target or perhaps you are. 
Don't shoot the messenger Doc. I just analyzing it as a plain old ex 
network security professional would. It's a slam dunk, someone is 
targeting your sorry arse unless you are just making it up. Manchu is 
giving me that worried look, he said, "Tell the Doc to keep his head down".

Tell your mate Lula all about the GDPR. HTH.

See, I told you they had your data. Perhaps now you will believe me. 
Shit says, "If you want the photo where you and the goat are getting out 
of the shower naked you know his number", and I don't need to remind you 
about having your credit card ready.

Nice swerve Doc. Don't let imposter syndrome hold you back. The cats 
believe in you. Don't we lads? Lads... FFS wake up. I dunno, I really don't.

Honestly Doc, just put "What was the controversy that led to Richard 
Stallman leaving the FSF" into your favourite AI and I suggest you will 
find that Mr Stallman was far from perfect. I know you know what I'm 
talking about. What is it with you GPL guys.
