Reasons not to make use Of Google

 

 

To keep away from leading other people astray, please do not check with videos utilizing the host name youtube.com or its aliases. Instead, make a link to invidio.us or one of many associated proxy websites. Lead people to what is good, not to what is bad! Just ensure that not to decide on a proxy that is "protected" by Cloudflare, since that sends its own nonfree software program. This fashion of referring is probably fail-safe: it may cease to work, however it is going to most likely not start main individuals to run nonfree software program. There is also a Firefox add-on to bypass that Javascript code. IceCat comes with that add-on by default. But that won't overcome the blockage of entry through Tor. If Google defeats the invidio.us proxies, I can ell you how I will not reply. I will not surrender to youtube's nonfree software program and surveillance. I get pleasure from getting access to the music and video there, but I can't do foolish or determined issues to keep that entry. You shouldn't either! You don't want a special "platform" to publish an audio or video on the web. You'll be able to post an audio or video file on any internet site. Just put the file on the site and link to it as if it had been an abnormal web page. All graphical browsers can handle that.Google censored set up of Samsung's ad-blocker, saying that blocking advertisements is "interference" with the sites that advertise (and surveil users via adverts). The advert-blocker is proprietary software program, identical to the program (Google Play) that Google used to deny access to put in it. I'd refuse to have either of them on my computer. Using a nonfree program provides the proprietor energy over you, and Google has exercised that power.

 

 

Surveillance

 

 

To identify yourself to a Google service is a grave error. - Google shops a listing of all purchases a consumer has made that in any method point out the consumer's a gmail account. A user can delete purchases from this checklist, however only one buy at a time. Then that purchase disappears from the listing that the person sees. Whether it remains in one other listing, we have no idea, however I'd anticipate Google to reply that question with doubletalk. The article talks about what Google cites as its motive for doing this, however the motive is irrelevant - because it isn't an excuse.- Google's alarm system, "Nest Secure", turns out to have contained a microphone all along - but only just lately began listening.- Google "sanitizes" its complete search logs, then publishes them; however it declines to explain the process of "sanitization", and there's proof that users may be tracked by them.

 

 

The article additionally mentions two-factor authentication, which in and of itself may very well be a helpful approach (though I've learn that crackers can now defeat it), but has the flaw of requiring a mobile phone. My rule #2 for digital security is to not have a cell phone.

 

 

- Gmail was planned from the start as a massive surveillance system, to make psychological profiles not solely of Gmail customers but of everybody who sends mail to Gmail customers.- Google quietly mixed its ad-tracking profiles with its browsing profiles.- Google has found a means to track most credit card purchases within the US, even those not achieved via a phone, and correlate that with folks's online actions.

 

 

Google cannot do either side to me, since I pay cash and don't carry a cell phone, and it doesn't know what internet sites I have a look at.

 

 

- Google Play sends app developers the non-public particulars of users that set up the app. Merely asking customers' "consent" for this isn't sufficient to legitimize that. We know that almost all customers have given up on reading just what they're "consenting" to, and the reason being that they're accustomed to being informed, "If you would like to use this service, it's essential to consent to blah blah blah." To actually protect individuals's privacy, we must stop Google (and other firms) from getting this private data in the primary place!- Google shops an enormous quantity of knowledge on every person. This could embrace, in addition to the consumer's search history and advertising profile: - A timeline of the person's location throughout each day- Data on the utilization of non-Google phone apps- 'Deleted' emails and information uploaded to Google Drive

 

 

Facebook and Google joined with ISPs to defeat a privateness initiative in California. Collecting the many ways Google is involved with US government surveillance, abroad and within the US, quantities to quite a bundle.

 

 

Google invitations people to let Google monitor their phone use, and all web use in their houses, for an extravagant cost of $20.

 

 

This malicious functionality will not be a secondary side of a program with another objective; that is the software program's sole objective, and Google says so. But Google says it in a manner that encourages most individuals to disregard the main points and stay unaware of the extent of the spying. Anyway, mere consent doesn't legitimize large surveillance.

 

 

Amazon and Google want "good" devices to report all exercise to them.

 

 

In different phrases, if in case you have a "smart" (learn "spy") lightbulb with that proposed function, and tell an Amazon or Google listening device about it, thenceforth any time you switched it on or off irrespective of how, it might ship a report back to Amazon or Google.

 

 

Even immediately, the only method to make "smart" merchandise safe is to make sure they can't connect to anybody else's methods.

 

 

Another piece of Google's surveillance capitalism: when shops mail receipts to a gmail.com account, Google figures out and information who bought what.

 

 

I believe that the store itself mustn't get this data, which is why I at all times pay cash and by no means give my name.

 

 

*Google faces lawsuit over tracking in apps even when customers opted out.*

 

 

- Google cuts off accounts for users that resell Pixel telephones. They lose entry to all of their mail and documents stored in Google servers below that account. It must be unlawful to put any "phrases of service" on a bodily product. It ought to also be unlawful to close an account on a service with out letting the user download whatever was saved there. These events provide one other purpose why schools must by no means ask a pupil to use a service account linked to the student's title.

 

 

Censorship

 

 

- Amazon and Google have minimize off domain-fronting, a characteristic used to allow individuals in tyrannical nations to succeed in communication systems that are banned there.- French blogger Claims YouTube Tried to Censor Juncker Interview.- Google has agreed to carry out special censorship of Youtube for the government of Pakistan, deleting views that the state opposes. This can help the illiberal Pakistani state suppress dissent.

 

 

- Youtube's "content material ID" mechanically deletes posted movies in a method copyright law does not require.- YouTube has made personal offers with the copyright trade to censor works which can be truthful use. More data.

 

 

- Google shut off Alexa O'Brien's Google Drive account, denying her access to it, as a result of her reporting on Chelsea Manning's trial included copies of al-Qa'ida propaganda that was presented as evidence.- Google is deleting porn artists' porn videos from their own private accounts, quietly and mysteriously.

 

 

Never trust a remote storage firm to keep something however a spare backup copy. While you retailer that, put your files into an archive and encrypt it in order that the corporate can't inform what's in them - not even their file names.

 

 

- Vox lawyers received Youtube to take down criticisms of a video printed by Vox, and threaten the critics with punishment, too.

 

 

The movies had been almost certainly truthful use, however Youtube determined towards the critics anyway. This reveals how Youtube's normal submission to the copyright business constrict's folks's rights.

 

 

Miscellaneous

 

 

- Google is a tax dodger. After all, it's not the only one, but that is not any excuse.- Google supports the TPP due to three mostly-evil provisions that may profit Google.- Google has made it in order that Chrome now automatically installs the DRM module. This makes it harmful for security researchers within the US to research potential insecurity in Chrome. More information.- Support is rising for reverting US antitrust law to what it was earlier than Reagan weakened it. That is why Google is using its affect to weaken those who campaign against this.

 

 

How I Got Fired From a D.C. Think Tank for Fighting Against the power of Google.

 

 

- Google told a reporter in 2011 that internet sites with out "+1" buttons can be punished with decrease search rankings. When she printed a story in Forbes about that, Google pressured Forbes to take it down.
