The social network Diaspora is a good alternative.
I can explain what the US Government wants to censor off Google. Piracy websites. Yes there’s child porn, but do you think the US blocking domain names, is going to stop child molesters? Course not! It’s all about piracy, as countering that makes money, just like how the RIAA and MPAA work with the government. It’s all about piracy and all about money. Don’t make me laugh.
Youtube is fucked up on so many levels now. I am deleting my account soon.
FOX news talked about GOOGLE last night and said they apologize. It’s not
just GOOGLE search, it’s the other search engines as well.
Which is why we use fake names on the internet these days when we make]a comment or join something.
they say google is trying to control more than the internet. im seriously scared
What do you guys think of “Geolocation” on your web browsers??? Sounds like an invasion privacy. Not cool.
Google=NWO
Update: April 30,2010 -Deputy just found shot in Arizona by illegal immigrants. I hope all of you start condemning these actions. This was a documented worker intercepting drugs. The same drugs that affect our youth. You decide. If you don’t take action against this then you are just selfish and racist
@WalKnDude002 It’s always a crime to make it a crime for someone to choose what they want to do with their life if it causes no one else harm. Seatbelt law… hahaha Freedom used to come with a price. That price was that criminals could abuse it. Now, they want to punish the 99% to catch the 1%. Sweet.
@iFreedom4ever Yep. When you threaten them with imprisonment, what can they do? I mean, they can say no then they gov labels them anti-patriotic, etc.
Many people complaining about strange behaviours of google’s web browser Chrome too. It spikes CPU at certain times, makes connections in the background and does weird things with the cache. More datamining?
Alternatives to google:
ScroogleORG, StartpageCOM, ClustyCOM
Who watches the watchers I wonder?
Firefox has a tracking cookie blocker addon that specifically blocks google’s trackers.
Meh, i’m fine with google stealing my info. In fact, the further my info is spread the better. Then EVERYBODY will know about my thirty-nine and a half foot penis.
Use: Scroogle(.)org
They use google’s search engine but they block the 40yr tracking cookie.
Google is one of the most Evil corporations ever…Right up there with Monsanto & Big Pharma.
Like the govt, google is not your friend. They will not fight for your privacy and would sell you out in a heart beat for some political favor. Google is nothing more than the eyes and ears for big brother, same as the telecoms.
Street view is awesome.
TRUE !!! THEY don’t give a S*t
because i walk into a store with a sign outside that says they can video my breathing. does not give them the right to tell the insurance companies my respiratory rate. you have more than overstepped. you have committed treason, over and over and over. google, homeland and federal. your job was to protect our rights. you have not only failed, but worked to take them from us.
I have long since assumed that ALL forms of communication, especially electronic, are being monitored.
