I am more concerned that they are using the idea that this "would give the internet giant an unfair advantage by denying access to users' data" as a pretext for "We will no longer be able to spy and spoof efficiently on our customers".
In my opinion, the telecoms and government give us a lot more reasons for concern than google. Its not in googles best interest to become known for censorship, customers will just use another browser and search engine (some already have), but you don't have the same degree of recourse with government and telecom control.
- justanotherhn 7y agoI agree with you - The goverments do not care about our privacy. Again and again this has been demonstrated through the laws passed and practices of these big spy organisations. What can we do? It feels like the drip is tightening and everyone is asleep.
- zarro 7y agoWhat you can do is try to prevent legislation that puts arbitrary barriers to entry for competition. If privacy is as big a concern as we think it is, over the long term products which offer privacy built in will outperform in the market. Meaning Apple and google will build in privacy into its products or risk losing market share. The only way that will be prevented is if a law(s) are passed which prohibit google from making changes that would make it harder for telecoms and government(s) to spy on you.
