Pretty immature website, I get why people are against Google and specifically this campus but this website rubs me the wrong way. If they made the same arguments, cleaned up the language and delivery and cited it with studies, papers and facts it would be a much more credible site. They should probably change the domain name as well.
- happyraul 8y agoI agree with your points, but it's worth noting that to non-native English speakers, certain words, in particular profanity, don't have the same meaning/impact that they do for native speakers. Just the same as if you uttered a string of, say, Hungarian expletives at the dinner table with your family (assuming you aren't Hungarian speakers), it would not be considered terribly offensive, most likely. I found this to be an interesting article on this topic: https://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/06/fashion/06love.html https://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/06/fashion/06love.html
- Panoramix 8y agoThe lack of numbers and clear facts in there are very telling. I'm always wary when significant claims are made but no numbers or studies are cited to support them. In this case it's just about feelings; believing something like a sort of religion. I'm not saying all of their claims are outright wrong, but this borderline childish website did not persuade me of anything - if anything I have some antipathy against this movement now.
- dmix 8y ago> borderline childish website It's fully childish, it's called "Fuck off Google" and the call to action button is "WTF?", and it's promoting tagging graffiti on stores/public places with ugly slogans and calling it "street art": https://fuckoffgoogle.de/2018/04/17/street-art-against-google/ https://fuckoffgoogle.de/2018/04/17/street-art-against-googl...
