No, not really. The way this worked is that if they detected personal information on a "dark web" (per their definition -- I have no idea what this actually meant) site, they would show you a report that told you which PII was listed, and it was usually things like your fname/lname, address, phone or location. The problem is that it wasn't actionable [because it was the dark web], unlike their current personal data privacy features and data removal tool.

This is one where I don't blame them for killing it because "it" wasn't really even a product -- it was just a very basic, not useful at all, report.

That's not how it reads to me. I think it's more that they feel they can't share enough information to make it useful without compromising their operating methods. Which is an eternal struggle with stuff like that: the bad guys are reading too.

That's my read. That it's not a revenue generator and taking server resources that could go to something that is making them money. They've at least added more things to Google One over the past year which softens the blow.
