Google India this week joined the "really" meme bandwagon by posting under its Twitter handle the question "we really want to know you keep asking the Google Assistant to marry you?"

want to know why you keep asking the Google Assistant to marry you 🤔
Indians the world over did not the miss the opportunity to reply back, mostly in the same humour, as Google might have intended, but many used the occasion to aptly question Google India about its contentious privacy policy.

Which indicates that "GOOGLE IS STEALING USER DATA" What a statement by Google.

Indians raised concerns that the very fact that Google knows what question is being asked by Indians to the Google Assistant is evidence of Google's lack of adherence to its privacy policy.
Some straightaway asked Google to "stop tracking conversations".
Perhaps stop stalking conversations between two individuals first. 🤣

So you do listen to what we tell Google Assistant. Point noted.

Every information or conversation goes to them and they can do whatever they want to do with that information (as user agreement) on any platform be it Siri, Alexa etc.

The thread of reactions to Google India's "really" meme had comparisons drawn between Google Assistant and Apple's built-in AI assistant Siri.
Apple never asked why people ask siri to marry them, perhaps because they know that siri sounds attractive.🙃

Many Indians were frank to admit that they ask Google Assistant to marry them just for the thrill that is inherent in doing something enjoyable but meaningless.
Because we will get immediate positive response which makes us happy at the moment atleast — 90's kids 😂🤣 @Uthistran

because she doesn't ask questions, she let us to ask questions. and she does things according to our wish. she doesn't argue.she keeps quiet when we ask her to, etc..
A Twitter user with the handle @jjkdsc started the "really" meme in December and several e-platforms like Youtube, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Linkedin and One Plus have shared posts on social media using the same meme format with the aim of evincing a viral thread of responses. However, of them all, Google India seems to have emerged the winner, given the number and variety of hilarious responses its meme has garnered in the short span of a week.
