What's stopping some influential websites from blocking Google IPs or even Chrome browsers?
Technology can be used to insulate just as well as it can to exert undue influence.
Furthermore, individuals and communities are not beholden to shareholders or business law, because they aren't businesses.
The thing about networking is, if you piss off the network, you can be isolated.

- zlg_codes 3y agoThe popular move is already untenable: just let Google piss all over the Web and take it as theirs? It's generally the ignorant and apathetic folks creating what's popular in the first place. If people had standards and gave a damn, they'd make better choices. Isolating threats in the network is a legitimate strategy; it's the primary means to block spam on the Internet. Google may as well be spam given the industries it's in.
