“…yet” people always forget that part. These are tests to gauge reactions and deployment abilities. How many people said “android will never be locked down” and the ones that were forecasting it were accused of overblowing it.

Google thrives off data collection, it has to close loopholes.

I see these fucking things ALL the time on Graphene. If I'm using VPN, even worse. Plenty of sites flat out block VPN source ranges. The internet has just been getting more and more insular based on the whims of a handful of companies.

I suppose I should consider my post-internet life.
