Saying they are politically popular to hate on sounds as if the criticism is not warranted.

- dahfizz 6y ago> Saying they are politically popular to hate on sounds as if the criticism is not warranted. The criticism is definitely warranted, but that is a very shallow take on things. Privacy issues with incognito mode have been known about for years[1]. But all of a sudden, suing Google (and making a spectacle of it) is a big priority.

Maybe the government is full of altruists, doing what is warranted when it is warranted, but I think starting from that assumption is pretty naive.
