Another reason to not use #Google - they'll readily share your data with the government and give you minimal opportunities to respond. It's not worth it.

@ncoca I remember when they were lampooned on Law & Order: SVU for having a "get a warrant" attitude. That was 15, maybe 20 years ago now.

@ncoca wait till Captain Gemini get its hands dirty with every google products and services. Copilot will look like child's play. By that stage AI bubble would have peaked and everyone will just use it while shitting on how bad copilot and chatgpt was...

@ncoca Wow, that's some Cambodian IMO dictator Hun Sen next level stuff.

They privately criticized in an e-mail the regime of IMO Lord Supreme Megadictator and Military Leader, the Mighty Donald Trump, President of the Holy State Empire of America, សម្ដេចអគ្គមហាសេនាបតីតេជោ ដូណាល់ ត្រាំ ប្រធានាធិបតីនៃព្រះរដ្ឋាណាចក្រអាមេរិក(which is the exact title of Hun Sen, just adapted to Donald Trump)!

I feel

e x t r e m e l y s t r o n g c o n t e m p t

towards the US regime when I am seeing this.

@ncoca The greater offense here is the DHS official who sent #DHS agents to harass someone who exercised his protected right to speak.

Don't expect #Google or any corporation in any country to risk the state taking legal action against them to defend the rights of their customers. They won't.

Interesting article.
To the articles closing question to the reader:

"...during the first half of 2025 as Trump’s second term began, with Google receiving 28,622, a 15 percent increase over the previous six months. Jon was fortunate to have his case picked up by the ACLU and later reported on by a national media outlet. How many others in the U.S. haven’t been so lucky and face legal challenges for exercising their right to free speech?"

Answer: 28,621
Stay loud everyone.
