More on #Google and Fascism

I'll add something here to my previous note about Google and SMS/RCS message retention, etc. In an "ordinary" world, these changes could at least be reasonably analyzed in terms of conventional business practices, absent the total lack of trust that Google has now earned with CEO Sundar's embrace of Trump's fascism, even donating to his fascist causes.

All the excuses in the world won't change the fact that ANY feature capable of being abused by Google is now potentially subject to this abuse with one email or phone call from a Trump minion. This is (in my opinion) pretty much ALL on Sundar. It's a trap (an understandable one) to think these things through in terms of a normal world, not the U.S. with an authoritarian federal government and willing billionaire CEOs.

The world is different now.
