When people say things like this, I wonder if they understand how impossible it is. Google is not just a company. It is a 2 trillion dollar entity. Even if Google search entirely fails, it will still persist. At this point, you may as well say, "The wind needs to be ended." You don't end the wind. The wind already won. It will outlive you, me, and our children.

What we can do is protect against it. We can deal with it. We can contain it. We can redirect it and repurpose it to be helpful. But ending it? That doesn't happen.

A far shorter list would be the few that are not vulnerable

Let's say both then. Both the US and China are surveillance states, and that makes them both bad.

Btw just so you are aware, there is some underlying animosity toward people who defend China here. Usually people who defend China are just trying to deflect and try to say things like "BUT America does bad things!" While trying to make it seem like that somehow absolves China of genocide and mass surveillance.

The hard part for those people to grasp is that Americans are usually happy to say yes, America sucks. Any country that engages in those actions sucks. Diehard tankies on the other hand are incapable of seeing flaws in China/Russia/whatever country they feel the need to defend.

Is genocide denial not racism?

Defederating sends a message that the world doesn't like tankie bullshit

Exactly. Why are we federated with people who deny genocides? Fuck all of that

I'm all for defederating from tankie instances. They suck.

Couldn't they just use cloudflare or something?

I'm just curious, how did you miss that? 😅 It was the biggest story in tech like 6 months ago
