Another reason to not use #Google - they'll readily share your data with the government and give you minimal opportunities to respond. It's not worth it.

@ncoca

This story is as fake as everything The New Republic publish.

You people fall for anything.

It is so pathetic to watch.

@ncoca Did you read about this case, because apparently google didn't actually act on the administrative warrant. That was my understanding of the details when the ACLU acted on his behalf.

Not that I have any love for google or want to defend them, but government is obviously able to track him in other ways.

@ncoca The greater offense here is the DHS official who sent #DHS agents to harass someone who exercised his protected right to speak.

Don't expect #Google or any corporation in any country to risk the state taking legal action against them to defend the rights of their customers. They won't.

@ncoca wait till Captain Gemini get its hands dirty with every google products and services. Copilot will look like child's play. By that stage AI bubble would have peaked and everyone will just use it while shitting on how bad copilot and chatgpt was...

@ncoca I remember when they were lampooned on Law & Order: SVU for having a "get a warrant" attitude. That was 15, maybe 20 years ago now.
