content: image of google “moderating” (i.e. eliminating, permanently, without apparent recourse) an entry in a user’s URL collection/bookmarks. the entry is for kickasstorrents. (archive)
I recall seeing an example of them doing something like this to people’s gdocs stuff (and iirc that was on paid account, but I could be misremembering). seems like they’re ramping up the where to more coverage of their services/assets
But wasn’t it closed like a decade ago? Maybe that’s a malware website and Google is helping
yeah! I fucking love when a corporation decides to “help” me without my prior consent and with no ability to reverse their stupid decision afterward either
a hellmark of so many the sfba hyperscale shitters is the intentional lack of a support department (again often paired with “visit our community forums”, which I guess is a useful datapoint for inclusion in elsethread @self?)
Google might be “helping” in this instance, but the fact that they even can is disturbing. They shouldn’t be snooping on your bookmarks list, period.
They snoop on way, way, way, way, way more than just this. Probably and demonstrably.
I can find you some URLs for reference later if you wish)
Yeah, and that’s not good either.
