Okay, Google: To protect women, collect less data about everyone
&gt; Google provides useful products, and in exchange we might be targeted with annoying ads. Big whoop. Until now.<p>Enter a cage willingly, with barely any complaint, for minor convenience, then cry when you&#x27;re taken to the slaughterhouse. It&#x27;s sad that despite all the warnings, people are so myopic and apathetic that it takes something this big and obvious to make them react.<p>And despite this, they remain willfully blind to other threats, that are smart enough to stay below the threshold: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;caitlinjohnstone.substack.com&#x2F;p&#x2F;censorship-by-algorithm-does-far" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;caitlinjohnstone.substack.com&#x2F;p&#x2F;censorship-by-algori...</a><p>&gt; Four ways to build civil rights into Google products<p>A laughable chapter of the article, void of any actually effective suggestions, such as compelling Google properties to stop blocking the Tor network (duckduckgo and yandex allow Tor), or using free software that is actually under the user&#x27;s control.<p>The problem is that would give users actual power and autonomy. But what the authors  <i>really</i> want is for Google and other corporations to keep acting as internet police, but only enforcing rules they agree with, and not any others. That&#x27;s why they want to build &quot;civil rights&quot; into products, and not &quot;user freedom&quot;. That&#x27;s why they get comments from an establishment Harvard professor, and not the FSF.
