I don’t know, you’ve never heard of blackmail? $500 in Bitcoin to some wallet or we leak your search results to your church group?
How would they connect search results to an individual? Surely, a simple VPN, which is a basic internet hygene these days, prevents that.

Fuck off. And since you here, you might tell us all how much you get incentive by aligning with U.S. owned Ad platforms, that also align with U.S. national interest to smear foreign tech giant Ad business?

> That campaign seems to have ended, and nobody cares if your project has either anymore. Has the movement to rename every master branch to main quietened down as well?
GitHub changed the default to "main" so 95% of new projects will default there.

Whatever a person's stance on ongoing political events or active conflicts, punishing them en masse for choosing to be born on the wrong side of an arbitrary border is nonsensical.
And it’s antithetical to western values. Historically, we don’t do collective punishment - yet here we are.
Of course we do. We regularly sanction countries in ways which are designed to pressure the civilian population into overthrowing their government.

> sites like sci-hub for example To be fair, that is not Google's fault. It always cracks me up that when you see the DMCA note on the bottom and you click on it, you get to see the hosts anyways: https://lumendatabase.org/notices/26024315
That is how I search for pirated content.
> Do we want, at a time when Russia is considering the UK as an enemy, to be providing all our personal details to a server in Moscow? I think I am safer with Russian govt having access to my data vs my local govt having access to my data.

Dictators like Putin don't rule by normal logic. In this case it's imperialism: - Donbas: rich on natural resources - Crimea: large amount of gas was found in 2008. Project by shell was ready in late 2013. They invaded in 2014.
You're forgetting literally the most important parts: Putin wants to be remembered as a unifier of Russia.

His family has left Russia back in 2014.
Doesn't really mean they're safe, does it? A whole lot of ex-Russians in other countries have been killed under suspicious circumstances.

If my country suddenly becomes Russian or China occupied territory, them having my search history is very far down my list of worries.
They may send killers just for you. For example, they are killing Holodomor researchers around the world (genocide of Ukrainians in 1932-1934: 25 millions were starved to death, 20 millions are recorded as Russian, millions were killed or executed).
Any examples?

If a killer will break-in a house and kill someone, it's not about doors or walls.
This wasn't a killer that broke in and killed someone. This was more like going to an old friend and asking for something you left there years ago.
