Google Has Publicly Embraced The Dark Side - Bob Schroeck - 05-21-2018
Google Quietly Removes "Don't Be Evil" Preface From Code of Conduct
By sheerest coincidence, Chrome on my Android phone kept insisting this was a dangerous, untrusted site.

It's saying the latter because you still don't have HTTPS support for your server. This means that $NATIONAL_GOVT, $MONOPOLY_TELCO and $BLACK_HAT can inspect all of our traffic, including passwords, in the clear.
This is clearly bad, as only adtech and analytics scripts from Google should be able to spy on us.

Not this site, Brent -- the page at indpendent.co.uk where the article is.
I know this site still has no HTTPS support. I'm working on it.

Meaning all of us who live in the U.S.A. are going to be disappeared to the camps for the things we've been saying about President Windrip.

You're kidding, right? El Trumpo and his bad hombres haven't displayed the basic competence needed to set up a dictatorship. It's like he values all of the things that strongmen can do in power, without being strong or smart enough himself to actually do it.
RE: Google Has Publicly Embraced The Dark Side - Bob Schroeck - 05-22-2018
Okay, since this thread mutated from one about Google into one about Trump within a single message, I'm moving it into Politics so it can fester there.
Again, my initial point was not that Chrome on Android flagged accessdenied-rms.net as "unsafe", but the newspaper reporting on Google removing "Don't be evil" from its values.

Google does not fear the Dark Side as we do.
They just want to bring Freedom, Peace, and Security to their new empire!

Let's be honest, anyone that's been watching Googles behavior in the past knows that 'Don't be evil' was a leftover gag long since left to rot. They've got money to worry about!

I no longer trust Google to not be evil. But I still consider them neutral aligned, as opposed to Facebook, which is certainly evil. I mean, seriously, which extraterritorial Megacorp would you want to live in? Google, Microsoft, Aztechnology, or Facebook? The choice is pretty clear.

A wise man once told me "The lesser of two evils is still evil."
Why live in an extraterritorial Megacorp at all?
