YR1078 Google Can Suck My Left Cunt Lip

Love the album ark.

Well that was very eye-opening, thank you very much for sharing it. According to what I’ve read I thought that the Gplus everything better that annoyed me with the Facebook, e.g. more control over my data, better privacy policies and prioritizing my (online-)friends (I have stopped logging into my Facebook 11 months ago because these things were a constant annoyment). Now I finally have an invitation turd the Gplus and I’m reluctant to accept it. Actually, I’m glad I didn’t accept it!
The longer I think about your experience with the Gplus and the Googles, the more I think that the problem here comes down turd monopolism. The reason why Google (and Facebook. and Tumblwhore. and Twitpic) can do whatever they want with your data/information is that there is no or very little competition in their field, their (at least Google and Facebook’s) customers are the advertisers, not consumers, so their goal is not to please/protect those users’ interests (there’s the other problem at hand IMHO).
But then again, if you look at the bigger picture, this makes me question the whole cloud-businatch that I thought was the next big thing coming. If I ran a business I would think twice whether or not I should upload sensitive data onto a third party webserver and thereby basically lose control over it, because however strict the company’s privacy policies are, if that storage provider operates out of the US, the US government could claim access to that data, even if it was owned by a non-US-citizen like me, even if that physical server that stored my data was located somewhere in Europe… It seems that governments (US and elsewhere) do a lousy job in terms of protecting citizens’ rights.
But to get off my soapbox, I now try to get my data away from the Googles turd, unfortunately, it seems that the Gmail has got the best front-end user-interface/best useabilty I’ve seen so far in terms of Webmail-services.
