Goddamn it, i want to keep google out of my life entirely, but now my employer uses gmail, so have to use it, and my employer put my first and last name on it: first.last@mycompany.com

To view my work calendar on my phone i have to add that account, so google knows my phone now too.

Even viewing a youtube video at work i noticed that they have me logged in to youtube (which google owns). if i log out, i can't read my email...

Google is the worst thing ever to happen to privacy.

Well, DuckDuckGo (DDG) can eat a bag of dicks too.


Believe me, it's a self correcting problem.

I first stopped using Google because as a company, they pissed me off. NOW I don't use Google, because I can't easily find what I'm looking for when I use their piece of shit search engine.

I'd gladly switch to Yandex from Qwant, but I can't figure out how to get Yandex to stop presenting about half of the results in Russian.

they have language selection in their options

@Bd6r Do you have to be logged in to see those options?

I already have EN selected in the upper right:

Ah, thanks @Bd6r

That does seem to have fixed it, even for subsequent searches, but only until I then close that tab.

OK, now I'll set Yandex as my default search engine in Brave and try that for a while.

Remember when Google's motto was "Do no Evil"?
Then they decided, that dropping acid would make their company smarter. But I think they all dropped so much Acid, they became demented and deranged.


I've said this multiple times before, but I'll say it again.

It is an open secret that Google is funded and supported by the intelligence agencies. Their "parent" company in 2015 became "Alphabet". Somehow, Google, which was founded in 1998, became the child company of Alphabet in 2015. Alphabet as in alphabet agency.

It's OPENLY broadcast. It was discovered that NSA had a secret room inside of Google. There have been SEVERAL whistleblowers. They are 6 miles from where I live.

When engineers in Silly Con Valley tell you this shit, BELIEVE US. Facebook is no better, Twitter is OBVIOUSLY in the pockets of the government.

You can't find shit with Amazon anymore.

It's amazing that Amazon is LESS useful a decade on. Until you consider it is purposeful - to drive people to their Chinese Knockoffs.

When you're searching for something, do a search for the word "sponsored" and click "highlight all" on your browser. You can then quickly identify what is being pushed, instead of what is being searched for, and more quickly skip over those.

Yes, Amazon is purposely broken - eBay is as well.

It must have been determined that NOT showing exact searches increased sales. I remember the good old days when what I searched for is what I got to their best of their ability, then from there, it was advertisements in hopes that it was close enough to what I was looking for. Now results are obfuscated. I think that is true of the Google search engine itself, or it seems that way. That's what made Google great, it reduced time wasted.

Google is so full of shit. You can use every keyword and add "negative keywords" to anything remotely political, and guaranteed to get factchecked Bullshit or SPLC or whatever.

Yeah, just move beyond it.

Instead of complaining about Google's bullshit, just recognize they are now bullshit.

To find videos on youtube of which I know the EXACT TITLE of, I have to use yandex to do it. For example, for this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MA8a2g6tTp0

Here's the search from youtube:

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Joe+Biden+brags+about+having+%E2%80%9Cthe+most+extensive+and+inclusive+VOTER+FRAUD+organization%E2%80%9D+in+history.

now from yandex:

https://yandex.com/search/?text=Joe+Biden+brags+about+having+%E2%80%9Cthe+most+extensive+and+inclusive+VOTER+FRAUD+organization%E2%80%9D+in+history.+site%3Awww.youtube.com&lr=102749

In yandex, it's the first result for me.

Deal with it.
186   AmericanKulak   2021 Oct 20, 5:11pm  

Yes, I had that with S2 Underground. Youtube is actively hiding their videos.

I gave up on Google months ago and esp. Facebook years ago. Blocked on my desktop and laptop. The one thing I noticed, especially with Facebook, is pages loaded much faster despite that being the only change I made.

Next and last phase is Pinephone.

Google is horrific. It's a sad irony that we're looking at Russia for reliable search engines. To all you smart people out there... how hard would it be to create a reliable search engine that gives good results and dosen't sell you out?

@richwicks already mentioned, it’s not difficult and does not need lots of money either. It’s simply environment around doesn’t allow to do it and run sustainably.

Google censors shopping searches for Kyle Rittenhouse t-shirts
A search in the shopping tab shows zero results.
By Cindy Harper

The phrase “Kyle Rittenhouse shirt” has joined Google Search’s list of banned shopping search terms – this is despite the fact Rittenhouse was found not guilty of all charges filed against him.

On the “Shopping” tab of Google Search, “Kyle Rittenhouse shirt” does not bring back any results. The results page displays a message stating: “Your search – Kyle Rittenhouse shirt – did not match any shopping results.”

Since Kittenhouse was acquitted of all charges, which included first-degree reckless homicide, first-degree intentional homicide, and attempted first-degree intentional homicide, the sales of shirts showing support for Kyle Rittenhouse and self-defense have sky-rocketed. ...

As noted by The Blaze: “Google has no issues selling shirts with serial killers such as Jeffrey Dahmer, the cannibal sex offender who killed at least 17 men in Wisconsin, John Wayne Gacy, who was convicted of murdering at least 33 young men and boys, and Ted Bundy, who raped and murdered at least 20 young women and girls.

“On Google shopping, you can purchase clothes featuring Che Guevara, a homophobic and racist Marxist revolutionary; Pol Pot, leader of the Marxist Khmer Rouge that killed more than 1.7 million people through work, starvation, and torture in four years; Joseph Stalin, the Russian communist despot believed to have killed 20 million; and Chairman Mao, the Chinese communist tyrant that killed 45 million in four years.”

“Kyle Rittenhouse shirt” has only been banned on the shopping tab.

@Patrick,

Social scores are fucking evil, but what if you can make multiple identities and create entirely new ones at will? You can start over whenever you like, but you're back to being a newbie.

On the early internet were people trying to make themselves visible so in order to get noticed, they would have a bunch of unrelated but popular search terms placed on the page on white and white text, or black on black. I have a method to make it impossible to allow such bullshit, and allow it to be called out. Not have central authorities call you out as a bad actor, but good actors do it.

I think generally people are good people, and there's a few bad apples - but the good people, they just don't believe there's bad apples.

Multiple identities are necessary anyhow. Friends my not necessarily mix with families, and they may not mix with work, or groups you're a part of. Even your child's interest in video games and music shouldn't be associated with their (nascent) political views and schoolwork.

Pretty sure they are overweighting the anti-Kyle shirts.

But instead of linking to the video of Dr. Malone, any of the stories that dive into the phenomenon, or even reaction videos that expand on the concept, Google decided to promote some random dude’s minute-and-a-half video “debunking” it when people search them for “mass formation psychosis.”

Google has now made this random guy’s video attacking Dr Malone on Mass Formation Psychosis the top result when you search for it

There is a reason that historically Businesses have stayed out of politics.

When the other side gets in power, they tax the ever living shit out of the businesses that supported the other side.

I'm all for taxing the living shit out of Facebook, Twitter, and Google. Tax them into the dust, 90% sounds about right.

Force Facebook and Google to move their factcheckers to Northern Idaho and only hire Militia members.

No hearings, just tax entire segments. Tax NFL teams 50% of revenue, not profit. Tax Amazon and Netfix the same, half of all revenue. Distribute the money to mom and pop businesses, including ones that closed.

Start a trial and charge every single Fact Checker, just throw shit at them and use every Patriot Act law to make the trials hidden and under the control of the military. Make sure every fact checker goes broke just defending themselves against charges of colluding with a foreign power.

They sure don't love us, so let them fear us. They actively colluded with the CCP and WEF and 1%er NGOs to fuck us over, they wanted to destroy us. Treating your literal existential enemies with "principle" is only postponing your demise.

I'd like for Pfizer, Moderna, et al to be disbanded, the executives imprisoned or executed for murder and conspiracy to commit murder, the assets sold off, and the proceeds given as compensation to the families of their many victims.

Class action lawsuit says Google pays Apple to stay out of the search engine market

The case focuses on the search business, citing reports that emerged last year of Google paying Apple as much as $15 billion in order to remain the default search engine on Apple’s Safari browser on all devices.

Not only that, but the filing further claims that Apple agreed not to develop its own search engine, as part of a non-compete deal it has with Google.

According to the plaintiffs, the non-compete here also means – no competition, as smaller players are unable to properly compete in the search market; another way in which competition is undermined by Apple and Google is by acquisition of existing or potential smaller competitors.

Meanwhile the cartel-like nature of this alleged Big Tech arrangement means the cost of advertising is higher than it ought to be, since the deal creates an anti-competitive environment.
