I’ve explained why simply breaking them up won’t work.
I’ll just add that the socialists never seem to recommend the expropriation and liquidation of “capitalists” who have not earned anything honestly but that very expropriation and liquidation.
They would nationalize in a heartbeat the house you spent a lifetime working for and the business you spent a lifetime building, and murder you if you tried to stop them. Their pals in Silicon Valley and Wall Street? Never.
I missed that. The Cole’s notes version, please?
Saying “already been answered” without a link doesn’t really help.
Just for fun I googled “Donald Trump” and “Joe Biden”. As expected when googling “Donald Trump” there were many negative stories about Trump. What surprised me is when I googled “Joe Biden” over half of the stories were negative stories about Trump. Only two were about Biden directly and they were positive.
Kind of funny that Trump is more associated with the name Biden than Biden himself is.
Try DuckDuckGo “Donald Trump” and “Joe Biden.”
For “Donald Trump” you get his campaign sites and msm. It doesn’t reflect on DuckDuckGo so much as the msm that the articles are negative.
For “Joe Biden” you actually get two articles on his scandal on NY Post. You also have an article quoting Jill Biden’s ex-husband who was Joe Biden’s best friend.
I endorse a return of the guillotine for our tech/social media aristocracy. I’d pay good money for Zuckerberg and Dorsey’s heads on a pike.
Listening to James O Keefe with Tim Pool right now.
No one has yet to explain to me what influence Google has over my life that I can’t obviate simply by not using Google, nor how what they’re doing is in any way different from what every major left-wing media organization has been doing for decades wihtout people clamoring to have the First Amendment chucked out the window.
Google does not have a monopoly over anything that affects the average citizen (they arguably have a de facto monopoly on embedded web advertising, but it’s not clear precisely how they could in any way exert that monopoly).
Correct Daniel. As I have said about twitter, don’t use it and it dies. If no one buys a Ford vehicle Ford goes broke, dies as it were. The solution is simple, too simple I guess.
Somebody recently did an experiment where they used a private VPN to block all connections to Google on their laptop. The laptop basically stopped working.
You don’t use Google, Google uses you.
It’s not so much a question of not buying a Ford as it is trying to avoid Ford products and services in your daily life. Walk across the street to buy a cup of coffee from the independent corner store and you’ve already failed.
Visit a web page with a “Log in with Google” button on it and you’ve already failed. That button isn’t just sitting there passively until you click it. It’s a bug. Google has just used you. Got a mobile WiFi device? Google is using the shit out of you. Have any WiFi device at all? Google is using you to use others. You have effectively become an agent of Google yourself.
Way back in the day when Google was nothing more than really good search engine I was invited to be a beta tester for Gmail. I declined. I do not and never have had a Google Account. I do not use their search engine or web browser, but . . . my 2G feature phone stopped working because my carrier took down the 2G network (and the 3G network is being taken down as I type this). The 30 USD flip phone I replaced it with looks like it’s a feature phone, but it isn’t. It’s a smart phone disguised as a feature phone. It runs KaiOS, which is the Linux kernel and Firefox rendering engine, which have nothing to do with Google. It’s fully programmable by any 12 year old script kiddie. It has WiFi, Bluetooth, AGPS and Google baked into it. This is a bottom of the line, cheapest “burner” phone I’m talking about. It does at least have a removable battery, but the cover isn’t the push down with your thumb and slide it off in no more than a second of my old phone. It wants a spudger to get the job done.
Here’s the fundamental flaw in the “just don’t use them” argument – people who use Google services aren’t it’s customers. People who pay Google are its customers. People who merely use it are Google’s product, a “natural resource” being mined like coal, with no more say in the matter than coal has.
Try running a mid size business without paying Google a ‘tax’ of thousands of dollars per month so that your leads don’t dry up.
Most people under the age of 30 do not watch television. Google ads and social media are the only way to reach these potential customers/voters. Google/Twitter/Facebook control these views completely, and aren’t afraid to censor even the New York Post for no other reason then they want Trump to lose.
Alphabet, Google’s parent company, owns more than you realize. It’s basically impossible to use the internet without using Google or a Google run company. It’s the definition of a monopoly.
Do you have any sort of mobile device? What’s the battery life when “off?” If it isn’t measured in years and months than your device isn’t off. Something is using power. I just checked a cell I charged to 4 volts and stuck in a drawer more than a year ago. It’s still at 3.92 volts.
Just because you aren’t interested in the Internet doesn’t mean that the Internet isn’t interested in you. Security systems, billboards and even store signage are now physically bugged. They’re asking your devices about you, and your devices are telling them.
Eschew devices? No problem. The bugs are being trained to recognize your mere physical presence, what your voice sounds like, what your face looks like and simply how you move, which most people don’t realize is nearly as unique as your face. You may not be using the Internet, but the Internet is most certainly using you.
How did the breakup of Standard Oil and the privatization of 407 go?
