Worry less about Google and pay more attention to DT’s reporting lines up to his Chinese and Russian leadership.

I'd kick their doors down and drag their CEOs to a black site.

Google will sell us out to the Chicoms.

No one really knows. It is more of implication of what the Joint Chief Chairman said.

I would love to go off topic some time, post my own thoughts on the state of the world, maybe even change my signature line to something blatantly offensive and trollish. Lulz.

DT's direct line of communication to China and Russia IS relevant, if you're talking about failures of our government to crack down on them.

(on edit Oh, looks like you did finally change your signature. GJ

Chinese google

It is my understanding that China allowed Google into their country in exchange for enhanced monitoring/filtering capabilities. No doubt some large bribes were demanded as well.

WHy come it is always a rant when they disagree with you? That signature of yours was stupid and angry. You are projecting when you accuse me of same.

But ok, let's do an experiment. I'll start posting in the Gun thread, without insulting anyone, and see how quickly I last before getting kicked....

sorry about my old signature. Hope you like my new one. Far more informative this new one is.

didn't read the article, but I am quite aware of what is going on, google is throwing a tantrum since Clinton lost and they are out of the white house. yes under Obama google had offices in the white house (little known fact).

the simple fact that they are now using their robotic tech to help the Chinese military and not ours since they feared their tech could be used in war make zero sense. but then again what did you expect from a company that steals your info and sells it to anyone who will pay for it? hmm, their office is free, os is free, mail is free... our info must sure be worth a lot to them

and your comment to use ios, trust me, I avoid google like the plague, their devices may be cheap, but the software behind it is so bad, oh yeah and it steals everything it can about you

Well I love the Pixel compared to the iPhone 8+ that's for sure.

I think any of these tech companies that let their employees dictate contacts need to un-F themselves and had get rid of the problem employees. It is crazy that some social justice BS comes into the workplace. Now the engineers are getting radicalized too?

Did you watch the James Damore (formerly Google) interview on Joe Rogan? Worth watching.

Microsoft and Amazon are not giving an inch to crazy employees demanding social justice but unfortunately FB and Google put up with these people.
