Is it for good or evil?

by Two Moons on 10 May 2013 - 14:05

I don't Google.

by GSD Admin on 10 May 2013 - 15:05

But, google does you, lol.

by Two Moons on 10 May 2013 - 15:05

They are doing us all but no one seems to take it seriously.

by Two Moons on 13 May 2013 - 12:05

Nope,
not seriously at all.

Of course they don't show progress shots of reforestation or expanding glaciers.

If anyone hasn't heard of these google alternatives , try these:

and/or

Firefox has a few more add-ons available like - "NO Google Analytics", "Google Privacy", etc....
For real privacy:

Of course that is only a few ways of trying to protect privacy from google.

Seriously?

You don't understand the nature of this beast at all, or the depths of their involvment world wide.
Or the moneys involved.

I'll guarantee you that I have a clue, but what are the choices at this point: exist, resist, disappear? (all of them?)
The gov is also watching everything as you know (patriot, ndaa, cispa, etc...).

Here's another one brewing at the moment:

Sorry Lees,
I wasn't so much talking about you as I made that remark.
The only thing one can do is avoid contact, but that means no more gadgets.
Or limit contact, better than nothing.

But it's already a done deal, and laws won't change much either since enforcment would be very difficult.

I just dropped my e-mail because my service provider did a deal with google.

Things have gone way beyond Orwell and people love it, so I don't see anyone doing much about any of it.

When I've had enough I guess I'll just un-plug myself.
