If you like democracy and human rights, then you must stay away from google because of the huge power that company has, power that is outside the reach of any democratic institution. Google's power is not used to benefit people, instead it is used to increase Google's profits and power even further.

Oh and if you are a google user, then don't blame anyone else -- you are the problem! You need to change.

If you lean left, then it should be obvious that you should not allow such a huge for-profit company to have power over you, and over society around you.

If you lean right, then htink about the size of the company and its monopoly situation. The company is so large that it has long ago passed the point where there was meaningful competition in a marketplace. A this point it just stays in power due to its monopoly.

This is for anyone using Google things, their search, their email, youtube, android, all that crap. Stop using that right now!

Google is a company so large that it's value is more than a trillion (1 000 000 000 000) USD. That should be enough information for you to understand that you should stay far away from their disgusting "products".

No matter where you stand politically, the conclusion is the same: stay away from google.

Quote:

"The Commission has been reluctant to detail the relationship between Thorn and Johansson’s cabinet under the EU’s freedom of information mechanism. [...] disclosure [...] would undermine the organisation’s commercial interest”."

So we cannot have democracy because that would hurt the "commercial interest" of those who want to sell their mass-surveillance technology to the EU.

I was at a ChopChop restaurant earlier this evening. One of their big screens that normally show order numbers and such things instead showed this, revealing that the restaurant uses Raspberry Pi 4 Model B for that.

For some reason seeing that made me happy, I got a feeling that there is hope, or something. 🙂

Just prepared this sign to bring to the demonstration against #ChatControl that starts at 18:00 tonight at Mynttorget in Stockholm.

I hope you are coming too!
