Do Google employees use other search engines to avoid Google knowing what they search?

Like if you work at Google and you’re at home searching for random stuff that would be embarrassing if your employer knew (literally any random internet stuff), would you use Bing or something?

You do know that Google can't just pull up your search history just because they "feel like it" right? They'd need a subpoena or something. This is a lame ass post IMO.

You’re saying Google search histories are owned by the user and not Google? No didn’t know that. If it’s true, how does their foo.bar challenge pick people?

Foo bar is done automatically not manually

No, we use Google, like anyone else. And access to user accounts is heavily restricted and delimited and logged and audited.

Thanks for the straight-up reply that doesn’t make weird assertions about what you “can” or “can’t” do. Saying Google has strict policies is much more believable than to say Google needs a subpoena.

Any service provider, anywhere, has the ability to see their customer's data (unless there's a true zero knowledge encryption in place). The key is about the company having safeguards and ethics.

Haha no bro, just use incognito mode if anything. And that's more about it not showing in history for yourself.
