There once was a guy named Stefan,
He talked at length about the ills of Islam,
Some might have seen him as a tad obscene,
But #ScrewTube thought he should be seen.

Then one day in 2014,
He spoke of #bitcoin versus the war machine*,
Three days later it would seem,
His ScrewTube channel would be banned**.

* Bitcoin vs Political Power, https://altcensored.com/watch?v=joITmEr4SjY
** BANNED FROM #YOUTUBE https://altcensored.com/watch?v=FIBriSfx8wo

I'm from Silicon Valley & Mountain View was just a place to go visit family. Now it's only for Shoreline concerts. #GoogleIsEvil #Gentrification

This didn't exist. Where I am now is worse:

Ihmiset, jotka käytätte Chromea tai Chromium -pohjaista selainta: Lopettakaa.

Poistakaa se selain ja totutelkaa käyttämään esim. Firefoxia.

Google on paha. Se yrittää tuhota avoimen internetin.

Tällä helpolla muutoksella taistelette avoimen internetin puolesta.

#Google's #WEI isn't (just) about blocking adblockers. That's just a 'minor' consequence.

This is about a fight against Open Computing in general, where YOU no longer get to decide what and how you use your devices to access what you want in the way that you want, but G👀gle/M$/Apple.

See f.e. https://drewdevault.com/2020/06/26/Vendor-purpose-OS.html

G👀gle wants to turn the whole internet into their walled garden. So yeah, they're just copying Apple's playbook.
Much innovation, such wow 🙄

IIRC some time ago the idea was floating around to create a new HTTP status/error code: 666

That was for the previous horrible thing that G👀gle did.

How about we implement it this time around? Something like:
- If UserAgent = G👀gle/Chrome/Chromium/etc then return 666 with
"This page was written for the Open Web, but your browser is against that, so we can't serve you this page.
The fix is to switch to #Firefox.
Or circumvent this simple attestation by changing your UserAgent"

#GoogleIsEvil

Remember that horrific Web Environment Integrity proposal?

Well, G👀gle listened to the feedback!
So it's coming to #Chromium in 117.0.5902.0 and later.

LOL, wait. You didn't think they'd listen to anyone outside of their bubble, right? 🙄

So I fully agree with 👇

Not only that, but it will also force every Android user to install the proprietary G👀gle Play 'services', so that any freedom you thought you had* by Android being Open Source, becomes a total farce.

This is thus *also* about G👀gle getting complete control of every #Android device out there.

#GoogleIsEvil #GoogleIsSpyware

*) Which has always been a delusion. Abandoning Android completely is the only solution.

Tu achètes avec TON argent un gadget électronique, un #Chromecast avec #AndroidTV.

Tu paies ton service d'IPTV légal, donc aucun piratage ici.

Tu te tapes (en plus) des pubs dans tous les produits de Google désormais, ainsi que nombre d'autres applications.

Ben tabarn..., ils trouvent le tour de te mettre des pubs dans la page d'accueil de ton gadget que tu pensais avoir acheté exempt de publicité.

#Google, va donc ch... !!!

Gerade einen #Invidious Videolink in Google Chat gepostet (ja, ich weiß, in bestimmten Situationen nutze ich das, und ich bin - wie mir jetzt erst auffällt - soo ein Idiot, das zu tun).

Klickt man drauf (kopieren kann man nur den gesamten Text), geht tatsächlich die entsprechende Invidious Site auf - aber ohne das Video: Videoparameter und überhaupt alle Parameter werden einfach mal entfernt, statt dessen landet man im Top Level der URL - im Suchfeld. Frechheit.

Google wants to change Robots.txt. Oh come on. They just want access to everything to scrape.

"... the fact remains that Google Chrome is the arbiter of web standards"
"G👀gle's deprecation of the JPEG-XL image format in February in favor of its own patented AVIF format ... does highlight, once again, the disturbing amount of control it has over the platform generally."

"There is not enough interest from the entire ecosystem to continue experimenting with JPEG-XL."

"ecosystem" = G👀gle interest 🖕

Giving your info and asking questions on #Google platform?! What could possibly go wrong?! #bard #GoogleIsEvil

Google is targeting low-income U.S. women with fake clinic ads, as shown by a Tech Transparency Project study.

Google is continuing this deceptive practice despite pledges it made to Dem lawmakers to desist.

Fake clinics endanger women's health, lives.

Thanks! Not the thread I was thinking of but an interesting essay on why private email servers would have such a hard time.

Great work Google. Burn a couple of billion a year and hope that when you start charging you'll capture people.

Seeing a few #music biz / life folks following me, I'll take a break from my focus on the ruination of #socialmedia & #truth for a new John Fogerty release on this new iteration of "YouTube Shorts".

Yes, #GoogleIsEvil , I sure know as an 8-year Google+ survivor. And I cynically reacted first in terms of their current super-promotion of "shorts"- as a "compete with TikTok" effort.

But he's excellent of course, for at least the 1st 5 minutes. And is that Jack Cassidy?
