Developer Bert Hubert has created an app, Googerteller, that beeps every time data is sent to Google. The app is compatible with Linux-based operating system. Hubert is also the creator of PowerDNS.
I made a very very simple tool that makes some noise every time your computer sends data to Google. Here a demo on the official Dutch government jobs site. The noise starts while typing the domain name already. Code, currently Linux only: https://t.co/ZjKeOSfYffpic.twitter.com/dEr8ktIGdo
Googerteller works using the IP addresses provided by Google that are associated with Google services and Google Cloud. Any time Google gains access to a computer’s IP address, the system will make a noise.
Hubert demonstrated the app on Twitter.
