No google took your (and your mum's) gmail sign in from the gmail website, intercepted it in their browser to log your /browser/ into their servers that have /nothing/ to do with email so they could better spy on you and build a better database about your online activity. Without your consent. Without your mum's consent. Knowing they didn't have it. Knowing exactly what they were doing when they did it and making shitty excuses pretending it was something anyone wanted.
They did it dishonestly, covertly and knowingly for profit. People should have gone to jail the same as if they broke into sergey and larry's houses and photographed everything and sold the pictures to the highest bidder while claiming "consent" because they typed the question into chrome which larry and sergey have decided to monitor.
The idea that Google is better than Microsoft is like arguing whether fresh horse manure is worse to eat than fresh cow manure.
Take each crook entirely individually.
Google is horrible, market abusing, foul, dishonest and needs to be broken up into tiny pieces.
Completely separately to that and in no way is it related:
Microsoft is horrible, market abusing, foul, dishonest and needs to be broken up into tiny pieces.
In the race to the bottom everyone who passes the threshold of acceptable behaviour in civilized, democratic society that upholds the rule of law and equality before it needs to dealt with separately in the strongest terms. "But s/he does worse!" is as ridiculous a defence as it sounds.
And when you look at what Apple are doing, google are not interesting.
And when you look at what facebook does, microsoft are not interesting.
And so on.
Break them up.
/me waves to the cia/fbi/nsa aplogists who clearly want them all big and controlled.
edit: pretty sure the thing I was responding to has been stealth edited away. @dang any news when you'll get a release showing a parent has been edited after being responded to in some way? Then at least we'll know they should have stuck an "edit: " description or something.

- harry8 4y agoYeah look in my view it is possible, I'm a long way from being infallible. Maybe I misread and took a pretty different thrust the second time somehow? No way for me to know now. Anyway hence the request to @dang for a pretty obvious feature. "this post was edited after being responded to" flag. If you didn't edit after the response I apologise for the suggestion.
