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.

Many folks have complained recently about Israel’s use of AI to pick targets in Gaza. I mean, what could go wrong? Well, apparently angst toward Israel may be misplaced. They probably got it from us, since the U.S. developed that technology first. The New York Times yesterday ran a remarkable, non-paywalled story headlined, “In Ukraine, New American Technology Won the Day. Until It Got Overwhelmed.” Actually, Google did it. For nine million dollars.

Here’s how the genesis of our robot overlords was described in the article:

Six years ago, the Silicon Valley giant signed a small, $9 million contract to put the skills of a few of its most innovative developers to the task of building an artificial intelligence tool that would help the military detect potential targets on the battlefield using drone footage.

Why is that an issue now? Israel got lots of was stuff from the US - the F-35s and other warplanes, bombs. munitions, and tons of dollars.

But check out the conflict of interest statement, a screenshot of which you can see in the tweet below from Natalie Winters. It shows that Metabiota Inc. received funding from Google, one of the world's most powerful and corrupt corporate entities. ...

Keep in mind that Google, as Winters also points out, heavily censored the "lab leak" theory of COVID when it first started to circulate. Perhaps Google was trying to protect itself from being implicated in the bioweapon's development?

It turns out that Google has been a silent partner of Daszak and EcoHealth for the better part of 14 some-odd years at least. A 2010 study on bat flaviviruses lists both Daszak and EcoHealth vice president Jonathan Epstein as authors – and like the 2018 study mentioned above, this 2010 study thanks Google for funding it.

Yet another paper on henipavirus spillover that was published in 2014 shows the same authors and funding from Google, demonstrating a lengthy relationship between these entities. ...

"It's no secret that Google regularly collaborates with intelligence agencies," wrote another, referring to Jigsaw, Google's intelligence agency, citing a 2021 report from Zero Hedge.

"They are a known NSA subcontractor. They launched Google Earth using a CIA spy satellite network. Their executive suite's revolving door with DARPA is well known."

Hahaha... I just restart using my roku controller. It usually takes zero to four starts to get a vidya going and with that simple controller it's super fast too. Much faster than trying that with a web browser. I do the same for adds in the middle of videos. It's not so much that I don't ever want to watch an add it's that I don't want to watch an add from that company that helps support it. There are rumble channels I watch the adds.

Rumble sues Google for $1 billion over digital ad 'monopoly'
Rumble argued Google "excludes competition by engaging in conduct unlawful under settled antitrust precedent."

Buried under the news from Google I/O this week is one of Google Cloud's biggest blunders ever: Google's Amazon Web Services competitor accidentally deleted a giant customer account for no reason. UniSuper, an Australian pension fund that manages $135 billion worth of funds and has 647,000 members, had its entire account wiped out at Google Cloud, including all its backups that were stored on the service. UniSuper thankfully had some backups with a different provider and was able to recover its data, but according to UniSuper's incident log, downtime started May 2, and a full restoration of services didn't happen until May 15.

That IT guy that decided on a third backup while using a non-Google provider should get a nice bonus.

I can apparently opt out but I received this email from googly:

"Your Android devices will soon join the Find My Device network

How it works
Devices in the network use Bluetooth to scan for nearby items. If other devices detect your items, they’ll securely send the locations where the items were detected to Find My Device. Your Android devices will do the same to help others find their offline items when detected nearby."

It even works if your device is off...

They are filtering out the Trump Assassination Attempt photo also.

Search engine results on Google about the recent assassination attempt on Donald Trump are coming up empty, leading the web giant open to accusations of election tampering.

Google has been accused by conservatives of interfering in elections dating back to 2008, with the Hunter Biden laptop story suppression in 2020 leading many on the right irate.

Now, those who enter the terms 'assassination attempt' into the system, the attempt on the life of Donald Trump just two weeks ago doesn't show up.

The news reached Donald Trump Jr. who issued a blistering statement on X regarding the omission.

He wrote: 'Big Tech is trying to interfere in the election AGAIN to help Kamala Harris. We all know this is intentional election interference from Google. Truly despicable.'

I've confirmed for myself that the AI linked to by DuckDuckGo also omits mention of the Trump assassination attempt when you ask it to tell you about recent assassination attempts. But when you complain, it apologizes and knows all about it.

The Dems are constantly talking about taking anti-trust action against Alphabet. Alphabet knows that if they do not tow the Dem line that anti0trust will get serious.
