It's not google's fault. It was told to do so and has. Does anyone seriously expect them not to have done this?
Every American company, or company doing business in America, needs to toe the line of an unpredictable and vindictive president, especially one as fat and tempting as Google.
Now there'll be a disconnect in mapping between what some sources say and what others do, but anyone with a little history knowledge knows this isn't the first time.
There's no legal requirement to comply.
This is voluntary
look, fuck google for many reasons, but not this. this is just keeping your head down and trying to survive the shit storm.
When they start rounding up trans people and deporting them to concentration camps, I'll remember that the person shoving me into the train is just trying to keep his head down and weather the storm.
oh, i can hear the violins playing now.
of course you made this into something about trans people when it will likely be anyone who opposes them. ya'll are gonna get slaughtered. wise up.
Their stated policy is to put trans people and illegal immigrants in camps.
They're the first group being targeted.
cool. you got your breaking point. my breaking point was years ago. catch up.
What is your point?
my point is that most of you seem very naive. it's like your minds are mired in the way it should be instead of what has to be done to make it the way you want it to be.
You're still being vague.
