The move comes as Apple removed ICEBlock after direct pressure from U.S. Department of Justice officials and signals a broader crackdown on ICE-spotting apps.

    If you ever want to know why capitalism turns into fascism, look into how many companies willingly and knowingly did business with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy.

    IBM made computers to help the Holocaust, because the Nazis could pay for the service of the machines to be built.

    Google is just a modern IBM.

    Google says a group of masked fascists kidnapping children from their beds is a “vulnerable group”.

      google recently fellated trump and the gop. Google’s youtube is pretty instrumental in drawing in more incel men to voting Rs, by platforming right wingers out of context , like kirk,shapiro, fox, ,ETC.

    The agents who implement state violence are not a group. They’re agents of the state.

    And now Google is directly collaborating with an oppressive autocratic regime.

    For the rest of my life I will never forget that Apple and Google went out of their way to defend and protect the Nazi SS of our time.

    Absolutely fucking evil and unforgivable.

      Not saying this about you necessarily, but the sad part is that there are millions of people who share this feeling, but will still buy the latest iPhone and browse Youtube with it.

      If we had a better sense of community, people would be able to form actual boycott movements that have impact, but we’ve been trained to avoid other others, stay “rugged individuals” and keep our opinions to ourselves lest we face social backlash. This is all deliberate and designed.

        We are far, far beyond the point of a boycott having any chance whatsoever of taking down the richest corpos in the history of the world.

          Power is too entrenched at this point. I think the only real thing people can do at this point is flip the fucking table and stop putting more meat into the meatgrinder.

          This is why you hear so much whining and crying about falling fertility rates, so much propaganda and push to increase population. It’s the one actual challenge to their power. You can’t control people who don’t exist.

          Because none of you willing to suffer for your conviction. You’ll moan online, but when asked to go without carplay or android auto, all of sudden fascism isnt that bad. You can make all the excuses you want, but the reality is that you are all spoiled. And wont even go back to dumb phones for a few months to a year to make your point.

        Yeah, maybe it would be in our interests to make all government communications public access. If it isn’t a matter happening outside our borders, have it open. Maybe a classification for certain discussions that requires they be released in a timely manner, and when reviewed by a 3rd party if any information is attempted to be hidden they are immediately removed from their position and an investigation starts as to whether the offense should be criminal.

        The timely manner would have to be monitored as in “we are going to performing a drug raid” they get a warrant that allocates them 2 days to have discussions pertaining to that topic, organize and execute it. Then release all communications immediately following. If they don’t believe they can perform it in that time they need to submit it in their warrant request as to the reason why, time period, and date the information will be made public.

        If we wrote strict laws on it, the judges would be held accountable for giving out warrants brazenly, and the executive branch would be kept in check by such

    So does this mean Google will also block services that are being used to harm other vulnerable groups, like all the ones being targeted by Snowfla- I mean ICE?

      Can I just be “that guy” and point out the CEO of Google is “Sundar Puchai”?

      Who do you think Trump is coming for, you fucking idiot? It’s not guys like me named “David”.

      I hate this. I hate that they are targeting “minorities”, or Hispanics, or Indian folks… But many people in charge who are part of these groups don’t even care. They think they are special. You’re money doesn’t make you immune, you complete goddamn waste of oxygen.

      We’re trying to fucking help you. Stop condemning fellow human beings for the sake of profits. You are damning your children, and your family. You are selling them for gains. We hate you, and so do your children.

        Rich Brahman caste Indians, or similar believe they are the ones most similar to rich white people. At least if you looked into Indian caste system, they are notoriously conservative and probably racist too. Usha, is also part of it

    Someone recommended Kagi in another thread yesterday and that night I finally became 100% google free. Search was the last big hurdle. I was literally the biggest google fanboy. I had google home devices, google wifi, I wanted all their devices, had all their services, everything was set up and integrated. De-googling was fucking hard but I did it and I’m super proud and I’ve learned so much about how tech works setting up my replacement services and devices. Fuck you Google.

        Idk I started using organicmaps (comaps now) long long ago. I guess I don’t have a great fundamental understanding of search. Are not most other search engines just hopping on the back of google search engines? I honestly don’t know. Its not an area I’ve spent a lot of time learning about - or maybe I’m just a backwards dude haha.

          No, that’s fair play! I think you were just ahead of the curve with ditching google maps :D I use a combo of OSMAnd, Comaps, and Magic Earth (not open source, but has live traffic data).
