Vulnerable to Fascism?
~~Vulnerable~~ Susceptible
I think they're less "vulnerable" and more "fragile"
"Afraid of any sort of accountability"
Oh? Are we giving them privacy?
if they have nothing to hide, they have nothing to fear
Yeah, maybe it would be in our interests to make all government communications public access. If it isn't a matter happening outside our borders, have it open. Maybe a classification for certain discussions that requires they be released in a timely manner, and when reviewed by a 3rd party if any information is attempted to be hidden they are immediately removed from their position and an investigation starts as to whether the offense should be criminal.
The timely manner would have to be monitored as in "we are going to performing a drug raid" they get a warrant that allocates them 2 days to have discussions pertaining to that topic, organize and execute it. Then release all communications immediately following. If they don't believe they can perform it in that time they need to submit it in their warrant request as to the reason why, time period, and date the information will be made public.
If we wrote strict laws on it, the judges would be held accountable for giving out warrants brazenly, and the executive branch would be kept in check by such
Maybe we should consider some sort of informational freedom act.
Federated solutions which can't be stopped, self hosted, and available via Fdroid.
Only real answer.
Until Google revokes publishing privileges for side-loading applications. I think we'll have to go further and get used to making PWAs and regular websites.
side-loading
You mean "installing normally." "Sideloading" is fucking anti-property-rights loaded language.
Good point. Wild how these ghouls have normalized their bullshit language.

Oh no, vulnerable 🥺 they need DEI? They need to be a protected class? 🥺
Surveillance is suddenly wrong when it's the peasants surveiling wannabe samurai? 🥺
Can I just be "that guy" and point out the CEO of Google is "Sundar Puchai"?
Who do you think Trump is coming for, you fucking idiot? It's not guys like me named "David".
I hate this. I hate that they are targeting "minorities", or Hispanics, or Indian folks... But many people in charge who are part of these groups don't even care. They think they are special. You're money doesn't make you immune, you complete goddamn waste of oxygen.
We're trying to fucking help you. Stop condemning fellow human beings for the sake of profits. You are damning your children, and your family. You are selling them for gains. We hate you, and so do your children.

The irony is so rich.
To anyone that had doubts about governments putting restrictions on app stores, here is your proof. The level of power the current situation grants this duopoly is excessive and dangerous.
I thought we had all the proof we needed when Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai were snuggling up to Trump at dinners and the inauguration
google had been snuggling up to conservatives for a while, mostly around mid-pandemic, when they removed restrictions on not banning election denial, and then snowballed into right wing propaganda videos plaguing youtube ever since. they are part of the problem, even moreso than APPLE. and google recently made deals WITH ISRAEL to allow thier propaganda to fester the site.
Calling masked, armed, armored thugs and terrorists with a disregard for the law a "vulnerable group" is a bit thick, isn't it?
The agents who implement state violence are not a group. They're agents of the state.
And now Google is directly collaborating with an oppressive autocratic regime.
Someone recommended Kagi in another thread yesterday and that night I finally became 100% google free. Search was the last big hurdle. I was literally the biggest google fanboy. I had google home devices, google wifi, I wanted all their devices, had all their services, everything was set up and integrated. De-googling was fucking hard but I did it and I'm super proud and I've learned so much about how tech works setting up my replacement services and devices. Fuck you Google.

Google says a group of masked fascists kidnapping children from their beds is a "vulnerable group".
To be fair, they did set expectations when they got rid of the "don't be evil" moto.

For the rest of my life I will never forget that Apple and Google went out of their way to defend and protect the Nazi SS of our time.
Absolutely fucking evil and unforgivable.

If you ever want to know why capitalism turns into fascism, look into how many companies willingly and knowingly did business with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy.
IBM made computers to help the Holocaust, because the Nazis could pay for the service of the machines to be built.
Google is just a modern IBM.

This is exactly why sideloading is very very important.
Ah yes... the guys with masks, guns, the backing of the president, and virtually unlimited federal government resources are a "vulnerable group"
Fascists.
Do not let Google escape this, ever. Cancel all payments to them. YouTube Premium, YouTube subscriptions, etc.
So this could get much more serious if they start clamping down on the comm tools we take for granted. Between this and the incoming sideloading block - all of a sudden the most paranoid fears of Stallman's don't seem nearly as far fetched.
"Why dont you stupid Americans organize or something?"
They won't let us. We're trying.

Isn't ICE one of the biggest budget of the US now? How is that vulnerable?
~~Don’t~~ be evil.
“Vulnerable” go fuck yourself with a white-hot steel dildo.

Nope. Our tax dollars pay for their existence. They're not a vulnerable group, they're our employees.

Any web based alternatives? App stores aren’t needed here and it’s a lot harder to stop a website.
