                  The deGoogle movement should be widespread even further. Contrary to popular belief, there are growing number of deGooglers who are replacing Google with FOSS alternatives. Privacy is not a myth and it always never will be.

                              On one hand the EU does good like this.

                              On the other hand, they want to make the internet into that book, The Giver. The movie too, I guess. Gray, sterile nothingness.

                                What about the 'rest of the world'? They; Google and others, also follow unfair/unethical/illegal advertising practices everywhere. It is part of the cookie/web bugs/beacons embedded into browsers and collection of all data everywhere all the time. The mentality needs to be changed. What is needed is new and better browsers but what can you do when Google owns the browser and controls the internet?!

                                  good one the ads intrusion is unbecoming
