Do you actually believe it will delete anything? You're wrong. NSA would still get the data, and so would Google for marketing purposes. It's just to calm privacy-aware, but not techsavvy users.


If you don't want the NSA to gather information on you, the GDPR will not address that.


If it is illegal for google to collect the data, then the NSA can't force them to or subpoena the non-existent files.


The NSA will collect it on the wire anyway. They have drilled in and tapped underground fibre optic cables on private networks behind HTTPS load balancers before, and simply captured what they want.
