He/Him… just in case.
I’m from Earth, ya know, that thing that keeps getting effed because of greed and unaccountability… I like the middle, not the radical left or right, some things may be tough and make sense, others are up to individuals. Be free, let others be.
They just buy good ideas to monetize the shit out of them without giving users new features, and when the revneu stream dies, they kill the app and but the “next best thing”.
Essentially, Google is killing creativity, expansion, usability and profitability for small companies just for the “ad revenue”.
I’m de-googling as fast as I can.
It’s a duality…

So it’s not like in US where the “first amendment” allows you to derail everyone and everything without consequences…
At the same time, EU wants to fight criminality, e.g. drug cartels, money laundering, terrorism, human trafficking, etc… by removing encryption that makes investigation “more” difficult…
And if you think about it, most people use encryption and other security measures not because they are criminals, but because they are essentially “owned and spied” by big tech…
As some douchbag once said, the government doesn’t care which porn sites you visit or with who you go to bed with…
Every now and then just throw a “miau”, in the conversation… 🤪
Cool, looks a lot like mine :)
