I appreciate the Google Takeout stuff including the ol' "Google Confidential and Proprietary" warning inside some of the files exported out (in the "Android Device Configuration Service")
one honk maybe more

@benjojo this is the second Gmail/Google exodus reference I've seen today. Have they announced something stupid?

@tmcfarlane nothing in particular (at least as far as I know), I just take a regular takeout of my account for disaster recovery reasons

@benjojo I saw a reference to Gmail training on email, but waved it off as the usual (well founded) paranoia. Your post had me more worried 😂

@benjojo The most likely explanation is that it was internal only before GDPR and remained unchanged since.
Luckily they didn't include the IMSI there. That would've been crazy.
