Cory Doctorow is rightfully enraged:
This is all downside. If Google complies with the order, it will constitute a privacy breach on a scale never before seen. If they don’t comply with the order, it will starve competitors of the one tiny drop of hope that Judge Mehta squeezed out of his pen. It’s a catastrophe. An utter, total catastrophe. It has zero redeeming qualities. Hope you like enshittification, folks, because Judge Mehta just handed Google an eternal licence to enshittify the entire fucking internet.
@TrickDacy It does not matter who you vote for in America, it is a system that produces particular outcomes. No matter what, inequality and GHG PPM will continue to rise, I send you the graphs and you can compare who was in office during any given rise.
Before you throw your venom at me, I have professionally worked in MN for 19 years. I have personally canvassed for more spineless Democrats than you will vote for in your entire life.
I don’t care what claims you’re making, what you’re doing this very moment is what I’m criticizing, and for very good reason.
