Both of these proposals are aimed at reducing the share of ad money claimed by tech, especially the ad-tech duopoly of #Google/#Meta. Ad-tech claims more than 50% of every ad dollar spent, thanks to their chokepoint on ads. The ad-tech market is a cesspool of fraud, abuse and creepy practices.

Well...the hard line #YouTube stance has pissed off a few friends so possibly the whole "warm room at #Gitmo for #Google execs" welcoming back #ElectionDenier vids just in time for #Election2024 is actually...effective ?

@caseynewton #Google's decision to permit election denial videos back on #YouTube (but only in the U.S.!) is I believe the worst single decision they've made in the history of the company, and has the potential for the most danger and damage. And they will be responsible for the results. Ultimately it's a "follow the money" problem. As someone who has worked inside G twice, I sense that the C-suite is in a panic, as the political, regulatory, and competitive landscape shifts beneath their feet. And they're making a series of very bad decisions, which could ultimately send the firm along the same kind of dead-end path as, for example, Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) many years ago. It's not too late for them to change course for the sake of the company and their users (and the world at large), but I would not place bets on their doing so in time.

'My normative lesson is, “Heed Marginalized People.” Fundamentally and foundationally. And, like, don’t include them necessarily in your training data, but include them in the questions that you ask at the outset, and who you think to ask about what you ought to do.

So to ask that question, “Who have we not thought about; whose harms, whose needs, whose voice has been, perhaps speaking, but unheeded, for a very long time? And how do we ensure that the things that they have called out as potential sites of failure, don’t go unremarked, don’t go unaddressed.'

Over twenty years ago, internet search engines were crap. You had to suffer tons of ads to find any meaningful content.
Google changed that overnight. The site was just a search bar and gave you amazing results.
These days, Google is just another mess of ads, resembling the search engines of old. No wonder they are terrified of AI.

Of course there's no native way to have #Android's and #iPhone's communicate via P2P Wifi connection because #Apple refuses to use the open standard maintained by #google.
Yeah, of course one should refuse big tech corps as maintainers, but if you already are a big tech corp you're equally trash. So stfu and support the god damn standard already you dimwits.
It's still saddening (maddening?) that #Mozilla didn't take the lead in this, but we're getting unfortunately used to them not being the champion of the open Internet that they used to be.
Of course the question remains of what #Google will do with #Chrome, but the hopes are that #Apple (and hopefully soon Mozilla) throwing their weight behind the format will help it gain enough adoption to push the ad giant on the right path too.

As somebody who uses #android, i am getting more and more disappointed with #google. While #apple includes new features often, even if they are not groundbreaking in Google land you are not sure if the app you use will survive the next year. The last excitement I felt for an android feature was coarse location access.

Warst Du nicht brav, oder wie?
#Google lässt übrigens keine Mails von mir an #Gmail-Adressen mehr durch. (Sowohl meine private als auch meine freiberufliche Adresse sind betroffen.) Wenn ihr also Bei GMail seid und die Option offen halten wollt, Mails von mir zu bekommen, solltet ihr euch nen anderen Mailprovider zulegen. Eigentlich solltet ihr das so oder so tun. Weil auch viele andere kleine Mailprovider/Selbsthoster betroffen sind und man hat ja schließlich E-Mail genau weil man damit für alle unabhängig vom Anbieter erreichbar ist. Nicht wahr?

Google's really jumping the gun on passkeys
If you've used, or been using, the built-in security key present on iPhones alongside #Google Workspace you're being force marched into passkey on Google Workspace too. Drop dead date is December 1, 2023. Better still, the announcement (received by me on June 5th at 0716 PDT) states that today, June 5th, they're supported for Workspaces. However, when you go to attempt to do as they're forcing you to do, and create a passkey, that management page indicates they're NOT allowed on Google Workspace accounts.
Would've been a LOT smarter to make sure the rollout was completed to Workspace prior to mass mailing Workspace people. Even better is there was NO contact to admins about this, they just emailed all your users directly so now your support staff is going to get hit with questions they might not have answers for.
I guess we're supposed to just add it to the pile of not very well planned or thought out moves throughout this whole passkey rollout.

@kristian Echoing others:
Why not to use #Brave:
1. Brave is based on Chrome. Contributing to Google's hegemony across the web is, in my opinion, a Bad Thing.
2. Brave have associated themselves with various cryptocurrency projects/schemes/shenanigans, which, in my opinion, is another Bad Thing.
Why to use #Firefox:
1. The only non-Chrome browser left standing in the way of total Google hegemony, which is, in my opinion, a Good Thing.
2. Makes greater efforts to respect users' privacy. E.g., none of the v3 manifest shenanigans, far less phone-home activity, DNS over HTTPS / #DoH (yes, I know some folks really don't like this) support.
3. Managed by a non-profit, Mozilla. They're hardly perfect -- being a part of the Non-Profit Industrial Complex -- but I'd rather struggle with them than Google.
Firefox (and #Mozilla) aren't perfect. And so long as they are dependent upon a massive conglomerate like #Google or #Microsoft or #Yahoo to underwrite their efforts, they won't be. But that, in my opinion, is really up to us to work to fix. If there's any software that people would pay for, and *have* paid for in the past, it's:
1. Their operating systems
2. Their web browsers
Pro-tip for 📽️ #YouTube watchers who are concerned about #FreeSoftware and #privacy:
Try #Invidious <https://invidious.io/>.
This is an alternative YouTube frontend for the web with all the bullshit of YouTube cut out. What is important to me, it avoids the JavaScript Trap because all code of Invidious is free software.
Probably not for complete web beginners, but I still recommend it for those who want control. 👍

***** Google's YouTube policy change to permit dangerous election denial videos apparently only applies to the U.S. *****
#Google's #YouTube policy change to permit dangerous election denial videos apparently only applies to the U.S. Their blog post announcing this change explicitly only applies to the U.S. 2020 election and past U.S. presidential elections.
If we look at the actual YouTube help page related to "elections misinformation policies" -
https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/10835034?hl=en#zippy=%2Celection-integrity
we find a notice at the top saying that:
- - -
On June 2, 2023, we updated how this policy applies to past US election outcomes. Learn more in our blog.
- - -
But looking further down this page, we see that prohibitions still apply in other countries:
- - -
Election integrity: Content advancing false claims that widespread fraud, errors, or glitches occurred in certain past elections to determine heads of government. Or, content that claims that the certified results of those elections were false. This policy currently applies to:
- The 2021 German federal election
- The 2014, 2018, and 2022 Brazilian Presidential elections"
- - -
It appears that Google is much more concerned about other countries' election integrity than they are about our own, where election lies triggered an insurrection.
Google has lost its way. -L
***** Google's worst decision *****
The decision for #YouTube to allow 2020 election disinformation denial videos, a decision already being celebrated among the supporters of the Jan 6 insurrection, is in my opinion the single worst and likely most negatively consequential decision in the history of #Google.
***** Why is Google making such bad decisions? *****
So I'm being asked why #Google has been making these awful, ultimately self-destructive decisions lately (most recently, now permitting 2020 election denial videos to return on #YouTube, which many observers, including myself, feel could lead to new violence as they did for the Jan 6th insurrection).
I can't get into the minds of the "well-bonused" Google C-suite.
However, I think it's fairly clear that they're in a panic. The political, regulatory, and competitive landscapes are shifting beneath their feet. They know the fate of other large tech firms that went from forces of nature to nothing in a matter of a handful of years. They don't want to vanish into the ether like those others did.
They see the current situation as an existential threat. And like so many past executives at so many firms who were in a panic, they're making mainly short-term decisions out of fear, that are setting the stage for even more problems and instability down the line.
As I've said before, this does not bode well for Google, its employees, its TVCs, its users, or the world at large that all depend on Google to such an enormous degree.
And I find this all to be extremely sad. -L
2/2
But #reddit, #google, #twitter and many other proprietary apis are not nature or social services. They are dressed up to look like these things. I think to better trap the industrious software developer.
But these interfaces are not natural resources to be exploited. They are relationships where you hold none of the power. A bargain that you didn't get a say in drafting.
Any api you don't naturally or socially control can not be depended upon.
"As North Carolina’s 12-week abortion ban is due to come into effect on 1 July, an analysis from the non-profit Center for Political Accountability (CPA) shows several major corporations donated large sums to a Republican political organization which in turn funded groups working to elect anti-abortion state legislators."

***** How #Google employees are reacting to YouTube permitting 2020 election fraud videos *****
Just FYI, I'm hearing from numerous Googlers I know who are absolutely dismayed and embarrassed by the decision to permit 2020 election fraud videos back on #YouTube. These denials led directly to the Jan 6 insurrection and the violence that resulted -- not to mention almost destroying our democracy -- and they feel, as do I, that Google's claim that this is just ordinary political speech is self-serving, hypocritical, and vastly dangerous.
Google has been making a series of serious unforced errors lately in this toxic political environment. This does not bode well for its future, for its users, or for the world at large. I find this extremely distressing. -L

I've long been accused of being something of a #Google fanboy. But actually, I just call 'em as I see 'em. Google has made enormous strides since its earliest days where I was highly critical of various of its practices. Now I view it as a world class example of best practices in privacy and security.
That said, I will remind everyone that evil can flourish both from active actions and omissions, particularly when evil surrounds us waiting for any weaknesses through which to strike.
I am concerned that in a difficult competitive and regulatory environment, Google is forgetting some aspects of this truth.
***** Google is now implicitly endorsing the violence and worse of the Jan 6 insurrection *****
Let's be clear about what #Google's decision to permit election fraud videos to return to #YouTube really means. Election denialism led DIRECTLY to the horrors of Jan 6. By claiming that such videos are just like any other form of political speech, Google is wittingly or unwittingly ENDORSING that violence into the future. Unfortunately, it's that simple. And as someone who loves YouTube, I am both disappointed and disgusted. -L

Welp, my daily driver search engine is #Google, and I've turned on #SGE (Search Generative Experience).

It's helpful, just not great. And #Bard? Really not as smart as #ChatGPT / #GPT4, and that really detracts.
