yup, if you don't want your posts and photo's sharing on Google then post them on an private forum. This is a puplic forum when all said and done. I use the google search engine as much as the internal search engine when I'm looking for content on here. It's a great service on the whole.

These things have been around for 20+ years
As everyone says, these are bots that crawl the site for SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) purposes - feeding back to Google what's on here so you can find things by searching on Google - they're not going to take over the world so don't worry.
However if you do want to worry, Google shouldn't be your biggest concern - it should be Amazon :evil:

Have a read of Orwell’s book 1984 ... that’ll put the scarers on... I won’t have an Alexa in my house that’s for sure!!

My Mrs keeps telling me to be nicer to our Alexa!!
Says 'you will regret it when they take over' !!
Realistically, owning a mobile phone, a computer, using the internet... It all reduces our actual privacy.
Walking out of your front door a talking to a neighbour reduces your privacy. They then tell the next person they chat to any interesting snippets from your conversation and they might even pop a bit in their diary, for future reference. The Interweb is just much much much better at doing the same thing.Jfgoldfish said:

I knew there was a good reason why I avoid talking to my neighbours :wink:
A smart phone is bad enough. A saw a video where somebody posted audio of a family evening gathering somehow recorded on their Alexa. Do you all remember that? I think Amazon had to make some changes... My friend just go one. HE has been having fun setting it up. You can program it to reply to key words... His friend Walter came over and my friend asked Alexa IS WALTER HERE? She said.
Yes he is. Watch out for that no good covid spreading sun of a biotch. Get Lysol and spray him down.
Now that's a smart house....

Its a tough world but data is power, its the new oil, it is taken from anything and everything we do, from your shopping cart when you use your membership card to your fuel choices at the filling station. Not too sure why but a lot of people are against it but it makes life much better, ever wondered why your spam is about the things you look for on google, or when you open a browser the lawnmower you were looking at online seems to be in every advert.
Amazon have services you would not believe too. its all to make our lives better of course (not the money for selling the data, no no!). Even theme park rides now look at your faces and recognise if you had a good time on the ride or not and use that data to make the ride better.
Its a tough world to be anonymous.
