Dr. Mercola, why are you still using reCATCHA, a Google service, which will track people too, to some degree? We should minimise/avoid all direct use of any Google service, as much as possible, e.g. I use Aurora Store for getting some Android apps, and micro-G as a replacement for Android Services on my Android devices. Also beware of using GPS functionality on any device supporting internet access, with internet access enabled, including mobile data, because more devices are hardwired to use one of the few GPS satellite listing services [1], the main one being Google! [1] GPS satellite list services speeds up the initial fix time for GPS, which can otherwise take a couple of minutes to get the initial fix.

Is there any evidence that the data was destroyed or that the uses the data was put to are made public? Is anyone who received the data or purchased the data identified. Just a minor licensing fee for invasion of privacy.

A fine that small does not qualify as punishment for Google.

Crimes & violations against users & the government gets the reward? Something not quite right w/ that picture.
