Googlectomy

Post by Reeltarded »

I just had my Google removed. Orwell never considered that the corporation would become the government in such a way.

An alternative will present itself. I am not going to have apps suggesting how I should act, and where I should go. If I need a nosy assed secretary of the state, I'll let them know.

Eff you, Google.

Was it covered under your insurance? Or did they consider it cosmetic/elective? :?

Neither did the founding fathers ever foresee that a corporation could vote either.

And what of the freedom of foreign entities to influence our elections via super PACs? Now everyone is free to have their say - regardless of nationality.

It's a strange time...

I just heard about this.

How is it different from what Google was already doing?

What is the downside?

TIA

It works pretty good! I really don't like Bing, and the other engines seem scary because they look like generated phishing sites!

Thanks!
