  • Look I never said I disagree. My point to OP is just please don't make up shit that straight up isn't true. Pick a real issue, not some made up paranoia.

  • Re 1: People keep lumping Google with Amazon and Meta, but Google does not sell your private data and alerts you if it finds out the government to accessed your data. People keep assuming that because the general tech community sells data that Google does it too, but check their privacy policy or just ask anyone who's worked there. They don't.

    User data at Google is locked up tighter than fort knox. That's why the Snowden leak was such a huge deal, because the NSA was taking advantage of a security flaw that Google didn't know it had to scrape user data. Google patched it immediately after they found out.

    Amazon, Meta, and Uber, are much less scrupulous.

  • Does anyone here NOT hate Google?

  • FWIW I don't really like tech companies in general. They're monopolies.

    That said, I really admire Google's environmental policies. I worry a lot about global warming and habitat destruction. They're doing better than any other tech company on that front.

    Other companies will just lie about their emissions. Like Amazon claiming it's 100% renewable (it's not even close). Google has been honest and clear with it's emissions numbers since the beginning. And it has never been afraid to call out when they were wrong. For example, they recently updated their numbers when they realized one of their accounting methods was wrong. No other company has kept themselves as honest as Google on environmental things.

    It's a big company with 170k employees. I can name a million examples of it doing shitty things. Like shutting down Inbox. But the environment is far more important to me than some product I didn't pay for.

  • Honest question, why does the fediverse like firefox so much? This is not a common opinion to have on the internet, but everyone here and on mastodon seems to have it.

  • Firefox added ad tracking and has already turned it on without asking you

  • Yes. The problem with cookies was that they could be used to track and identify you. If this can't do that, then what's the issue?

  • They are. Read their environmental report.

    They invested over $3.1 billion in renewable energy projects with an expected combined generation capacity of approximately 4.5 GW. That's twice as much energy as all their datacenters combined.

    It's simple: People who gain from misinformation create platforms that empower bots and sockpuppets.
