I love when my search will just lie to me sometimes. I wonder how new generations will approach this, without having known what regular search is first?

Luckily it's easy nowadays to avoid using Google for search, and so far easy to avoid its AI.

Too bad Tuta makes it difficult to maintain an email through them by signing you out when not using the app and not allowing IMAP, removing accts for inactivity, flagging you for review when you try to make a replacement, and then telling you to reach out to tuta support using the address that they also won't let you send/receive mail from yet telling them "why you want this email address" which beyond being patently ridiculous (oh yeah that'll stop spammers, ask if they're spammers, great job), of course you cannot even do it because the account can't send mail.

Been there done that, now on Disroot, if that becomes a problem I'll move to posteo or mailbox or mailfence I guess. Good on them for blogging and I agree google sucks balls but they're not exactly a good replacement.

A great reminder that you need to shield your data at all costs. And if you need a reminder of the dangers of the internet, take a peek at this.

My question is: how could one physically delete all of this data. All the data on everyone and the programs birthed from it. What would need to happen for society to undo what these ghouls have done to the world?

The clear danger that such omnipresent suerviellience creates must be dug up and rooted out. Excised from every system and data bank. We must move towards beneficial governing not palatable governing. We must demand more from government against these companies.
