Imagine having to warp reality THIS much, just to make it fit your twisted narrative?

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.

Fascism is a business choice, always has been. Hitler didn't get popular by himself

Google says a group of masked fascists kidnapping children from their beds is a "vulnerable group".

[-] MithranArkanere@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago

To be fair, they did set expectations when they got rid of the "don't be evil" moto.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 14 points 3 days ago

google recently fellated trump and the gop. Google's youtube is pretty instrumental in drawing in more incel men to voting Rs, by platforming right wingers out of context , like kirk,shapiro, fox, ,,,ETC.

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.

uwu they are working under very hash conditions to terrorise children and other civilians

[-] noxypaws@pawb.social 45 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] ameancow@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Not saying this about you necessarily, but the sad part is that there are millions of people who share this feeling, but will still buy the latest iPhone and browse Youtube with it.

If we had a better sense of community, people would be able to form actual boycott movements that have impact, but we've been trained to avoid other others, stay "rugged individuals" and keep our opinions to ourselves lest we face social backlash. This is all deliberate and designed.

I think they're less "vulnerable" and more "fragile"

"Afraid of any sort of accountability"

[-] brax@sh.itjust.works 14 points 3 days ago

So does this mean Google will also block services that are being used to harm other vulnerable groups, like all the ones being targeted by Snowfla- I mean ICE?

[-] railway692@piefed.zip 159 points 4 days ago

Oh? Are we giving them privacy?

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 108 points 4 days ago

if they have nothing to hide, they have nothing to fear

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 27 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

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

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? 🥺

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 20 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

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.

Calling masked, armed, armored thugs and terrorists with a disregard for the law a "vulnerable group" is a bit thick, isn't it?

[-] sol6_vi@lemmy.makearmy.io 51 points 4 days ago

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.

Federated solutions which can't be stopped, self hosted, and available via Fdroid.

Only real answer.

[-] wagesj45@fedia.io 90 points 4 days ago

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.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 83 points 4 days ago

side-loading

You mean "installing normally." "Sideloading" is fucking anti-property-rights loaded language.

[-] Captainvaqina@sh.itjust.works 31 points 4 days ago

Good point. Wild how these ghouls have normalized their bullshit language.

Ah yes... the guys with masks, guns, the backing of the president, and virtually unlimited federal government resources are a "vulnerable group"

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 74 points 4 days ago

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.

[-] possumparty 44 points 4 days ago

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

Isn't ICE one of the biggest budget of the US now? How is that vulnerable?

[-] SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works 24 points 4 days ago

They're totally vulnerable! Just aim for the head!

[-] betanumerus@lemmy.ca 22 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Do we know yet that what ICE is doing even legal? (kidnapping, detaining, etc) I haven't followed closely enough to be sure of that. Does the actual police just sit by and watch?

[-] NotBillMurray@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

We're at that point where we have started to realize that laws are just words on paper unless someone enforces them.

Do not let Google escape this, ever. Cancel all payments to them. YouTube Premium, YouTube subscriptions, etc.

Google can F-themselves.

[-] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 25 points 4 days ago

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.
