Read why “Web Environment Integrity” is terrible, and why we must vocally oppose it now. Google’s latest maneuver, if we don’t act to stop it, threatens our freedom to explore the Internet with browsers of our choice.

    as much as I would really like that, that’s a catch-all statement that is not realistic. Unfortunately google has its claws in enterprises, universities and organizations all over the world, across so many domains.

    I don’t believe “stop using” is good enough, as it seems only a very small minority realistically could.

    This needs to be paired with proper legislation, like others have said, from EU as an example.

    If you have friends/family with Google employees, please raise this issue up with them. This also needs to come internally as well, in addition to top-down processes from regulation.

      I agree and I also agree with the YouTuber named Louis Rossman. He said that majority people- regular 9-5s/ normies dont care about this. They will only care if it starts to affect them personally until then goodluck asking them to stop using google products.

      TLDR: We are royally fucked.
