He was also targeted by Google's automated system? Odd, he was not so lucky.

I feel the same way about Blogger, and I even had a page on Blogger that was banned after I signed in on their Android app. This was around 2020-2021 and I only requested a manual approval by an email button IIRC, that got that page back up as fast as it got taken down.
It is sad that Google Voice and Blogger are neglected enough for this to happen.

Quick question, (I think) if YouTube and Google split, which userbase would get to keep their purchased content (Movies & TV)? This has been bugging me since a lot of Google services are connected in some way. IIRC you shouldn't be able to purchase new content on Google TV platforms.
One of the commenters was thinking the same thing as me

I wonder how Apple would go through with this, hopefully with a better form.
I'd like to remind everyone that you can still block ads with such Chromium browsers that are deprecating Manifest V3. Extensions include AdGuard and uBlock Origin Lite.
What this changes is that (adblocking) extensions are losing some permissions (like manually picking out elements to block, web requests to update the block lists, etc).
Ironically, the community of wiki admins there wouldn't like that as it would kill their community. What other platform easily hosts free wikis?
