Targeting 101: Disabling Google and Finding Software Alternatives
I read “Completely Block Google and Its Services.” If you are concerned about Google’s data policies, you may want to read the article and follow the instructions in the pihole-google.txt file. It appears that there are more than 7,000 services which Google uses to obtain one’s personal information.
Once Google has been removed from your Android device, you may want to find replacement for the Google Play and Google provided apps. You can find a useful list in “The Complete List of Alternatives to All Google Products.” The “all” makes me nervous because DarkCyber has heard rumors than not even Google has a list which is comprehensive.

A Complete List of Google Alternatives: Not Just Incomplete but a Reflection of Misinformation
Phi Beta Iota: Everyone is fleeing YouTube. BitChute is still our preferred alternative but there are many others. A meeting will be sponsored in late July to create a video federation with a code of ethics. YouTube can comply with the law or go out of business, we are all now post-YouTube, post #GoogleGestapo. Vimeo has just disgraced itself by shutting Project Veritas down.

Facebook would soon collapse on Wall Street. This is the story behind its imminent fall
This is not fiction
I’ve exposed, detailed and documented beyond any reasonable doubt for the benefit of our law enforcement agencies what I’m certain is a massive and illegal election bribe between Facebook and Netanyahu which tilted the outcome of Israel’s April 2019 elections in Netanyahu’s favor. If not stopped the same bribe deal would also take its toll on our September 2019 elections.

Bringing big tech to heel: how do we take back control of the internet?
The project will reference the world-leading Global Data Protection Regulation developed by the European Union. Under the regulation, the idea that you control your data footprint has been accepted and embedded with privacy protocols placing enforceable rules on how corporations harvest and then monetise personal information. Protections include the right to be unknown and the right to be able to delete your personal records from a business that is holding them. It also includes rights for portability of data allowing, for instance, a user to take their data with them when they change banks, obligations on a business to delete a customer’s records when the customer takes their business elsewhere, as well as stringent data-handling protocols. Adopting these principles in Australia would be a significant step towards taking responsibility for the way the digital economy affects our privacy.

Silicon Valley Is Destroying American Democracy by Playing Political Favorites
Authored by Robert Bridge via The Strategic Culture Foundation,
Perhaps it was expecting too much that the tech giants would check their political allegiances at the door to ensure fairness. Instead, they have let their political affinities disrupt the process every step of the way and this is leading the country down a blind alley.
So here we have a situation where the largest American social media companies are able to shame and ban users with impunity, while also deleting efforts by any outside agency that demonstrates their political bias.

Frisky Language Aside: An Important Cloud Message
I don’t know much about Digital Ocean, droplets, Checkly, Raisup, “”or the other Fancy Dan technologies mentioned in the write up. I usually ignore articles with unpleasant language. I worked through this write up because in Myrtle Beach at the policeware conference, there was quite a bit of chatter about the move to the cloud by law enforcement entities of all shapes and sizes.
The title of the article is “Why the recent “Digital Ocean Killed My Company” incident Scares the [curse word] Out of Me.” The link to the story is here.
