Google being google. Its funny that once I used to lookup to this company and now I view it as a threat to society.

It's funny that I really appreciated Google when I first signed up for Gmail. Now that I've had it for 16 years, I resent the fact that I can get deplatformed for any reason, and there's really nothing I can do to prevent that.

>Anyhow, I truly believe humanity has to rollback to operating at a human scale.

>Using algorithms to flag content is totally fine… problem is when humans cannot interact with humans anymore and AI gets to chose what is right and wrong.

Can't agree more.

I'm seriously considering it, but I'm a heavy IMAP user. When you enable IMAP in ProtonMail, it's no different than any other mail provider, security wise.

This is the dilemma for me.

YouTube, like most of the "Internet" these days it's just a shopping center. It appears to be the Universe because these sites/companies are so massive but at the end of the day it's their turf and they do what they want.

Now, once they reach a certain scale, why are they allowed to operate like a "normal small company"?

Maybe it's time for a public company-independent complains-platform where all companies are obliged by law to respond. Each complaint of course is hidden behind some anti-bot captcha/protection so that the companies themselve can't use AI to answer your complaints.

Technically no different but you have cast a small vote to behavior you no loner tolerate or support (socially). Even if it’s a fraction of a dollar. In aggregate they add up.
