I hope not. I don’t trust them, or Facebook (or Twitter, though I don’t really share that much personal stuff there). I wish there was a good non-Apple alternative to Android, but it’s one of the reasons that I minimize my mobile use.

Google caters to furries, transgenderism, and a “yellow-scaled wingless dragonkin.” But no conservatives viewpoints allowed.
What I’m seeing of this lawsuit, even if google evades legal liability the facts that stand to be uncovered could be horrendously embarrassing for them. And that could hurt the company far more than any likely penalty awarded.
There is no penalty for google and other social media. A loss in court has no meaning if the fundamental problem is not addressed and it will not be.
Their power to influence can not be controlled. In part because of lack of will. In part because our system of justice depends on people being informed which is the exact thing being targeted.
It’s the media’s job to inform. They do just the opposite, in part because the talking heads have no experience with reality. They don’t even know they’re misinforming.
The truly evil, those leading the problem from the top, have no incentive to fix this and plenty of incentive not to.
We’ve passed the tipping point. People are going to die. America has become one of the shithole countries. Note the media stops before finishing Trump’s statement that we should take in more Asian immigrants because it doesn’t fit their racist narrative?
Anybody that reads Damore’s essay and doesn’t understand it or demonizes it is part of the problem. Even Mia Love thinks Trump’s statement was racist which shows how effectively evil lies work.
The racist are the one’s that see racism in remarks that are about something completely different… merit. That’s exactly what some did with Damore’s memo, reading into it their own projections that never did exist.

In the latest Project Veritas video, Twitter people say that as soon as you make an account, they already have a lot of personal information about you. The data brokers have a lot of information and not just about people’s online activities but also probably have detailed information on financials, education, travel habits, hobbies, reading material, diet, vehicles, family relations, ect.
How detailed user profiles get is unknown but there is the potential for them to be extremely detailed regardless of what you do on any platform. With IOT, profiles will get even more personal by building up data on how people move around their homes and what activities they engage in. Some people will advocate for this type of monitoring by claiming it will help industry provide products that will be more energy efficient or nudge people into changing habits.
Ace of Spades had a funny meme the other week. One black and white picture showed a woman talking on the phone saying she should watch what she says so the government wont wiretap her phone. The other picture showed a woman in a modern kitchen talking to her tablet, “Hey wiretap, what’s a recipe for pancakes.”
If you carry cash you’re a criminal. If you’re a criminal you’re rights (any and all) are alienable (to them.) Don’t even think about mentioning the constitution. That just means you’re a crackpot.
The only law that exists is force and they insure yours will be less than theirs. Divide and conquer. Only allow useful idiots to be a protected mob. Quoting law is incitement to violence.
Speech is only protected for the right people. We have ways of shadow banning your thoughts!!!
Civilization is so far down the rabbit hole they believe this is normal.
