Fuck Off Google!

quote [ Fuck off Google!
Don't let Google & co. take over our lives and spaces!
Google steals and exploits our data for profit and turned this behaviour into a norm. It also colonizes our physical spaces. Google canceled its plan for a ‘Google Campus’ in Kreuzberg, Berlin under pressure by the neighborhood; yet it continues its expansion worldwide.
As a decentralized network of people, we want to keep our lives and spaces free from this law- and tax-evading company and its peers, and oppose the dystopian future they offer. ]

Fuck Off Google!

While we're all busy smashing the police state, we should begin on the tech state as well. Tech is definitely the 5th estate

I'm aware, but it's a starting point. Anyone who isn't already convinced that Google is evil should at least be using DDG instead - that's the first point of resistance for the layman.

They can have my data. I'm fucked up, but so is everyone else, which means I am boring. Besides, my ads are a sparkly rainbow utopia of cute shoes, makeup, kinky sexy stuff, and pet products. Men... you tend to live in a cold steely dystopia based on the ads framing your accounts. I do not envy you.

I use an ad blocker. I don't see ads.
