Almost since its inception, Google has led the war on data protection, shifting norms, eroding online privacy, and reshaping what Big Tech can get away with: "no one company has done more to destroy the idea of online privacy, than Google."

We're kicking off deGoogle month with a deep-dive into Google's long and messy relationship with privacy and user data.

"Fast-foward to now. Your drafts live in Google Docs, your memories live in Drive… But Google’s main product has never been search, or docs, or email, or storage. They are tools to extract its real product: data."

Today's post reflects on an important question: Did we ever really choose Google? And when did it get so… gross? :

As motivation, over the next few weeks we'll be showcasing Google's (staggering) assortment of evil deeds. From privacy and data misuse, to environmental and social malfeasance.

This year we switch. We know, we know: deGoogling's a chore. But, like cleaning your room, we promise you'll feel much better when it's over. (The difference is, cleaning your room could never, you know, save the world…)

We’ve all gotta start weaning ourselves off Big Tech 👋
