How is this a surprise? The US government is pure evil. It has always been. You don't have to believe me, just read the documents written by the founding fathers, particularly Federalist Paper #10.
Few people appreciate that the main reason the US constitution is so protective of individual liberties is that the founding fathers hated each other profoundly, but they hated the British even more. So they created a system of government that would protect the new country from the British while at the same time protecting the founding fathers from each other.
The US constitution and the US government are two different things. The former is probably the greatest document ever written in the history of political science. The latter was born evil, and continues to be evil to this day.
I have been off Google for many years now and I don't miss anything as far as I can tell. I still use their search engine but because I don't use gmail, I refuse Google's cookies and I change my IP address regularly, they cannot track me.
The real question is the opposite. What is that those Google fanatics get from Google that they couldn't get otherwise that is worth giving Google their entire private lives?
I never understood the psychological pull that Google has on people.
Google is every bit as evil as any other profit seeking corporation. Only, whereas a company like say Pepsico, just wants you to buy their product, Google wants to spy on you every second of your life. Why is that people put up with this is beyond me.
