  4. "Google on Forbesin mukaan myöntänyt, että se on myös poistanut kielteisiä arvioita karttasovelluksestaan nimenmuutoksen jälkeen.

    Myöskään Suomessa ei ole tällä hetkellä mahdollista antaa arvioita Meksikonlahdelle. Karttapalvelussa lukee, että ”postaaminen on tällä hetkellä pois päältä”. Viimeisin arvio on tehty kuukausi sitten." #DoNoEvil

  6. @rwg for me: I don’t want to be #googled again, where they start with #donoevil, wind you into a myriad of useful but interconnected apps that you come to rely on, go public, become beholding to shareholders, reduce functionality, charge for things they promised would be free forever, have zero support, reenforce #echochambers, (I could list problems all day) and no easy way to get out.

    Never again.

  11. Sites with ads by google:
    no good deed goes unpunished?
    According to your policy I am supposed to disable ad-blockers,.

  12. Develop your click-worthy sense.

    Currently, about 99 percent of your "online" mouse-clicks might get you hacked, cost you money, or otherwise harm you, or the people you care about.

    Cybercrime is all about getting that up to 5 nines, for all of you "uptime' nerds.

  13. So, here's a strange thing... I use apple mail and I've noticed that my Gmail account keeps copies of all the mail from my mac.com account in the GMail archive. What the heck?!?! I didn't give Google permission to do anything with my mail from other accounts. #donoevil

  16. @katzenjens Scheint sich leider um eine Änderung bei youtube zu handeln, auch mein eigener server funktioniert nicht mehr.
    Schade, dass noch soviele videos, mit denen Leute _kein_ Geld verdienen wollen, trotzdem diesem Monster in den Rachen geworfen werden.

  17. I enjoyed using #Chrome for many years, but I’ve deleted it from my devices today, as I do not consent to being tracked around the web and having that data given/sold to advertisers and other third parties by a user agent built into the browser. 👎🏻
    So much for #DoNoEvil #Google, it was fun while it lasted.
