[ Google Issues ] Using Big Tech AI Tools in the fascist U.S. or other countries is a trap

Using Big Tech AI Tools in the fascist U.S. or other countries is a trap

Given the rising fascist environment in the U.S. and around the world,
I urge you to consider very carefully whether you should be using ANY
Big Tech AI features (including the AI features Google is about to
push into the Chrome browser and is already promoting) that involve
injecting your email or web browsing or other activities into these AI
systems.

Microsoft Copilot and other firms' AI tools (including all of
Google's) that, effectively, spy on your activities (whether with your
explicit permission or not) are a trap when faced with fascist
governments who are eager to pressure Big Tech firms into providing
data en masse to surveil their populations.

There is no reason to have any faith whatsoever that the Big Tech
Billionaires controlling these firms will do anything but quickly
buckle under demands (or even initially requests) from these fascist
leaders. I get no joy at all out of saying this.
