Wasn't that obvious at very latest 4 years ago?

Google has always been fuckers, they are still fuckers and going with the fascist flow they've proven that they will remain fuckers. Even if they switch side once the Trumpian monster stumbles, the can never be trusted.

This days it's plain obvious. Before was slightly better hidden.

They could decide not to give 1M to Trump, but they did: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/jan/09/google-microsoft-donate-trump-inaugural-fund They could use their reach and make a clear public statement: "we don't support this". But I've never seen any. They could give higher rating to actual useful information and try to show less fascist propaganda to people. I have to assume that's going wrong as well.

Because of their giant impact, they send a message to all others. "We go with the fascists, we are not on the side of humanity but on the side of profit". That creates dangerous dynamics.

It was limiting them. To truly maximize profits they need to strip off all limits. I'm not joking. Really not. This is why capitalism and fascism go so well together.

This guy does not even deserve to be laughed at. Such a loser. Not even talking about his fanboys.

Google managed to create a very clean image of themselves in most heads, but looking closer it is an ugly profit maximization machine. It cares about shareholders. If it cares about you, then probably for spying on you and learn how to manipulate you and others better. I hope people start realizing finally.

And let's state it clear: Google could have a voice. They could object to the Musk-Thiel-Trumpian destruction machine. They could be there for the world. But they're not. Not at all. They serve the money. And if it pays off, then they are willing to ruin peoples lives.

Google is on the wrong side of history.

Better late than never. But better never late.

Like it was not a risk before. People just didn't want to see the obvious.

Looks well ventilated there at least.

Protests alone will not stop the nazis. They also didn't in Germany ~90 years ago. I hooe people get that and organize. Fast.

Really?! The worlds largest propaganda machine is playing tricks on us?!1!

Facebook knows who is sensitive to this kind of news, they know who would join a protest and who not. And they can decide to whom to show which news. How many people use Facebook & co. as their main source of information? Or main medium to organize?

Maybe now would be the right time to lobby this organization. The impact of Twitter may have brought us Trump and all the destruction which will follow. We can't affort this once more.
