If you post music videos, you pretty much have to use Google.

all the objections op raises are real issues.
congress has had these issues to address and did not protect us.
i expect capitalism to maximize money.
you can't avoid the control.
i would like to.
but not if my purchases are not integrated, not compatible, not easy to keep working.
im happy if i can keep most of my applications working without needing to install latest until i see if its any good.
i just click i agree.
whats the alternative?

Alternative to GMAPs
true but one of the most important ones to get rid of.

There is a TON of google code in Brave
true but, all the tracking and 'legal' spyware is stripped. This is evident without looking at the code by the noticeable increase in speed over any other browser. Firefox is an ok second if you want make an anti-google statement.

quote:It was just facts.
Pathetic answer.
quote:No, I'm saying that email is insecure by design, and that tools to ensure email privacy have existed for many decades. Further, I am saying that YOU, the user of any email system, are responsible for understanding the system that you use. YOU should understand that sending an email is the act of deliberately placing a message into a third party's private system. If your chosen email service didn't inform you of this fact, or if you don't care enough to inform yourself, that's on YOU.
You think it is ok for a third party Big Tech company to spy on someone who does not agree to the spying.
quote:Uh yeah, the simple fact that all of these services are free should tell you that you need to do your DD. It's like ladies' night at the bar, ladies drink free. You think a woman would partake in that without realizing she's on the fricking menu?
So, in their Privacy statements almost ALL say that they allow third party trackers and you need to go and read those companies Privacy Policies too. And you think that someone should have to read four or five policies to do so to browse the so-called free Internet.
quote:What is shameful about entering into a contract where one party gets free use of a service and the other is compensated with data? "Read the fine print" was a mantra long before google existed.
It is stealing and it is pretty shameful that you think it is ok in the United States.
quote:If you give them financial and medical information, that is definitely on YOU. And if they use such information in a way that breaks existing laws, that's on THEM.
is in the great majority of Privacy Policies. What is means is they do not want to be transparent and explain how those technologies steal their data. How would it sound to say 'we use cretio, doubleclick and other third part trackers who track you across the Internet and build databases about you so that we will know every aspect of your life, including financial and medical information".
You can make any agreement sound nefarious if you put your own spin on it like you've done here.
quote:Hm yes, almost without fail the most successful companies end up the target of legal issues. We realize that, at scale, certain behaviors seem problematic, so then we have to see if we can interpret existing laws in a way that makes the behavior illegal, and if not we might create new laws to make it explicitly illegal. I fail to see what is "anti-American" about this inevitable process. We allow capitalism to do its thing until it leads in a direction counter to the expectations of society, then we fix it. That's what America does.
LOL There is only so much room in a post. How about just recent stuff...
Arizona sues Google over 'deceptive' location tracking
Google under antitrust investigation by 50 attorneys general
Attorney General Barr targets Facebook, Google and Amazon in broad antitrust probe
If you think what large companies inevitably do is "evil" or "anti-American", then we need to rethink and redefine what we believe capitalism to be and how it should work. Until you are willing to do that, then you must accept that businesses will push the legal boundaries, and that YOU are responsible for your own behaviors.

It would take a ton of dedication and some sacrifices to avoid Alphabet inc.

I picture you during the 1770s and there is a guy on a horse riding through the night shouting "The British are coming, The British are coming" and you replying "God Save the King".
