Who needs dystopian fiction when Google is here to have us live it in real life? Another reason why E2EE is important.
Ah yes all of those dystopian novels about bookmarks synchronising across devices. Chilling.
A corporation unilaterally deciding to go through the information I’ve saved to ensure that my memories don’t contain any wrongthink is of course a utopian outcome.
Hail Alphabet!

The other end is Google though, as you'll get access to your Sync data from everywhere you log in. The solution is probably a service ran on the user end, like the ones offered by Synology or the other NAS makers.
Having access to your data while being the only one holding the encryption keys is perfectly possible.
This is about Google Collections (a sort Pinterest built into recent Android and potentially sharable) not your Chrome browser bookmarks which are private. Of course, e2e encryption is also optionally available for much of browser sync content, bookmarks included - if you're extra paranoid, turn that on. https://www.google.com/collections
Let's count the number of people who echo in with "Google Bad", and "OMG I can't believe Google is doing that", etc. It never ceases to amaze me that people will read any randomly written headline on the internet and just assume that it's true, particularly when confirmation bias is present. edit: The headline here used to be "Google moderates bookmarks", with the implication being that private bookmarks saved to you…
Because from where I’m standing they fudge the lines between “collections” and old fashioned bookmarks and try their best to nudge people towards “collections”, only to then curate what you can and can’t save regardless of it being shared with others.

Paranoid about google invading your privacy? Are you being realistic here?
