The bottom line is that, bug or not, privacy conscious people need to simply stay away from Google. And I don't mean just Google Search or Chat. I mean /all/ of Google, Everything they offer. We need to remember that there are two things about Google that make them particularly dangerous to privacy: 1) They are largely an advertising company that wraps cool tech around their ad platform and 2) It seems they have a fairly close relationship with the United States government. Those two things mean that Google probably doesn't really have your privacy as its main concern - well, not totally. Do I believe Google is secure against hackers? Absolutely. But that's as far as I'd be willing to comfortably extend the word 'security'. TL;DR: If you value your privacy, don't use Google. They aren't the only game in town and they don't really protect your privacy.
