Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Just like dealing with the government. Stick you into an endless loop.
L – If you are refraining from the use of an olde English expletive, so as not to offend the delicate ears of whomever, use the term Googled, instead. Their “Don’t Be Evil” slogan of a few years ago, did that originate when they were looking at themselves in the mirror? Were they at the time asking the mirror: “Who is the fairest in the land?” as did the evil Queen in the fairytale. What happened to the mirror, who could not lie? Exactly !
They meant to say … “ don’t be an evil subscriber to the 1st Amendment. We don’t do Free Speech here. We don’t have to.”
What I think they may have been thinking was… “Don’t be evil; that is our job!”
This is from the “I didn’t know this could happen” department.
When the service is free, YOU are the product. When you pay for the service, you are STILL the product except now they charge you money as well. Making you a sucker into the bargain.
So back up all your sh1t every single day, keep some of your backups off-line where nobody can get at them, and assume that every single thing you do on Google is available to the entire internet.

The reason Google and other large tech companies do this is because they can. They have no competition, so customers like this guy have nowhere else to go. The solution is to use anti-trust laws to break them into smaller companies that compete with one another.
The problem is that OpenClaw, unless you are very skilled, is very insecure, and people using it are leaving their data all over the place without knowing they have done so.
