    China: hey Alphabet, we’ll give you five dollars for it

    Alphabet: of course! Would you like our special CIA package?

            I was a venting a little, I think I’m on of the shills you say, and the reason is at least I can ignore these Chinese apps and go on, but alphabet, in other side is all the time trying to mold the internet to show you more ads, things like the monopoly of chromium and the web environment integrity. I can live without tik tok but not without browsers and internet these days

              I made some 20 years ago many choices about what tech I would never use. the only thing I know, it’s that I’m still very largely right about those choices, though I’m aware that’s a lost war

      That’s not actually how it works. Google doesn’t sell or give away data, they just use it for targeted ads, which means it’s in their best interest to be the only ones with your data.
