Cory Doctorow is rightfully enraged:
This is all downside. If Google complies with the order, it will constitute a privacy breach on a scale never before seen. If they don’t comply with the order, it will starve competitors of the one tiny drop of hope that Judge Mehta squeezed out of his pen. It’s a catastrophe. An utter, total catastrophe. It has zero redeeming qualities. Hope you like enshittification, folks, because Judge Mehta just handed Google an eternal licence to enshittify the entire fucking internet.
It’s hilarious that democrats find it impossible to acknowledge their own faults and instead blames it on some conspiracy of people being “steered away”. If your party sucks so hard that people think Trump isn’t worse, you know there’s something wrong with the party and not the people whose votes you feel entitled to.
