♲ @emanuele@quey.org: Did you know #Google is collecting data from every page on the open web that relies on Google Fonts?
Here you are some public stats: fonts.google.com/analytics
(the best data, for sure, they will keep for them).

After years of insisting that DRM in HTML wouldn't block open source implementations, Google says it won't support open source implementations

Vaya, a esto de #Firefox se le une otra noticia que encaja perfectamente, pero en el lado opuesto: #Google propone cambios en #Chrome para que ninguna extensión pueda modificar o bloquear cualquier parte de las páginas web. Se ve que los #adblocker no gustan demasiado a su modelo de negocio #antiprivacidad basado en la recopilación de datos personales (vía @fsf)

I accidentally a Font Degooglifier:
https://git.occrp.org/libre/fonts-degooglifier
I was sick and tired of having to manually degooglify fonts, so I made this. Seems to work. Handles both local files and URLs.
Perhaps somebody finds it useful.
FUCK OFF GOOGLE!1!!!1
#Google cancels its planned "campus" in #Kreuzberg, #Berlin, under pressure by the neighborhood!!! ✊
A major symbolic victory, calling for the next steps of combating all this empire stands for, and tech-gentrification/speculation!🎆
Congrats to all who participated, with their presence, energy, courage and intelligence! 💓
Decentralized, direct local+global action (beyond "scenes" and compartmentalized fights) HAS an impact! 📢
Now: THE WORLD!!! 🌎

Lol, shit. More than 15 years, an obscene amount of data collected, so many services and emails...
It's so sad that all the incredible engineering and innovation from #Google is so tainted by corporate policy, but in spite if how reliant on google I have been - despite how much I value some of the services and immense scale they support... I'm done
Their involvement in US drone tech and other govt projects is a red line for me
Much <3 to the engineers there resisting

Wir brauchen kein #facebook kein #whatsapp kein #google keine dieser #walledgardens
Was wir aber dringend brauchen ist ein freies und dezentrales Internet, ohne die Möglichkeit der #zensur und Organisationen wie die @fsf @fsfe
Es ist an der Zeit für Veränderung❗❗

Gmail's upcoming self-destructing emails will require the recipients to click on a link and log in with their #Google accounts to see the content, if they are accessing via IMAP/SMTP.
Don't be fooled: Google's purpose is not to give us more confidentiality. They want all of their users to access their mailboxes via the Gmail app or their web interface, so they are creating a burden to the recipients and calling it “security” to convince people to adopt it.

Ouch! Hardly any of those give the end-user any benefits at all! Targeted advertisements make a *little* bit of sense, or at least they would have 10 years ago! Nowadays ads are old hat!
Google knows what apps are on a phone. I understand that because if I buy an application, it's stored in a server, so if I lose my phone I can still download the apps without buying them again.
For the most part, #Google has a very unethical database 😿

#Google removes #Kodi from search autocomplete in anti-piracy effort - the article state "But, while Kodi is legal software, it remains a space that enables piracy, akin to platforms like BitTorrent."... Yes, like any general purpose computer. 🙄 https://www.theverge.com/2018/3/29/17176894/google-removes-kodi-search-autocomplete-anti-piracy

“What keeps people glued to #YouTube? Its #algorithm seems to have concluded that people are drawn to content that is more extreme than what they started with — or to incendiary content in general.
YouTube leads viewers down a rabbit hole of #extremism, while #Google racks up the ad sales."
