UN told us privacy is a human right, and GOOGLE, the GLOBAL MONOPOLISTIC COMPANY, think it is not within my rights as a consumer. Ridiculous, stupid, and fucking abhorrent.

https://www.ohchr.org/en/calls-for-input/report-encryption-anonymity-and-human-rights-framework https://docs.un.org/en/A/HRC/29/32

Encryption and anonymity, separately or together, create a zone of privacy to protect opinion and belief.

Well my belief is that Google, the “Don’t be evil” company, the one who removed said motto, is truly actually and pretty much evil. Let me give you a low hanging fruit for example: https://www.business-humanrights.org/en/latest-news/google-amazon-microsoft-allegedly-complicit-in-war-crimes-amid-israels-war-in-gaza/. I will remind you even Palantir, the “i love israel” company, is at least responding to queries.

Next case, remember people getting fired over protesting Google’s involvement in https://edition.cnn.com/2024/04/23/tech/google-fires-employees-protest-israel ? The protest is of course about Google’s direct involvement with Israel’s Government, on creating datacenters in Palestine’s occupied space.

So let me tell you again, why the fuck does google have the right, legal or not, to change the way my phone works even after I bought it, even if I don’t agree with their direction? I hope non-android phones starts to pop up just to reduce the amount of power this company have.
