If one definition of evil is its wanton destruction of everything that is good and whole in the world, then Google is an active agent of evil.

It is setting out to destroy the world wide web and steal the livelihood of everyone who builds and depends on the web.

I honestly don't know how to mobilise normies to care about and stop this evil. It probably seems too niche and incremental until it's too late.

Oh yeah, and in the UK an ex-Google exec is now running the BBC. . .

@mariafarrell "Whether and when they deploy it is a separate question, but the direction is unmistakable – your website may soon be optional." I hope never! However: "If there’s one insight we all need to focus on most, it’s this: your job is no longer to build a destination. It’s to build a parts library." 😒

@connynasch I mean, it's not my effing "job" to build stuff for Google, let alone a parts library, because they don't bloody pay me!
