Would you rather the internet just keep decaying as major corps like google do everything they can to make search impossible unless it’s through a funnel where you end up paying one of their advertisers?

At this point nations screwing with google is just cathartic. They deserve zero sympathy.

I hate Google and its surveillance capitalism abuses as much as anyone here but they're not in the wrong here. Brazilian politicians and supreme court are threatening hourly fines if they don't remove what's essentially their own opinions on their own sites. LITERAL censorship.

This shit is completely out of control. I'm actually afraid and worried about my own safety. It's gotten to the point my own family -- who lived through the military dictatorship -- advised me to stop posting online for fear it may lead to my arrest. How fucked up is that?

I rather deal with Google than deal with armed goons backed by laws.
