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.

    Yes, the dems could have unilaterally ended the genocide at any time by simply cutting all aid to Israel, as they are required to do by law, and gotten every anti-genicide voter. But they chose not to, and here we are.

      And yet they didn’t end it (setting aside that weird assumption). It’s almost like your plan didn’t work and we also got Trump, precisely as many of us were telling you would happen.

      Unless your plan was to get Trump in office. In which case you succeeded. And it’s obvious that was the plan for some of you.

        Nothing we could have done would have made genocide popular. We didn’t cause Trump, the DNC did.

          So you do think your plan worked then? Or did it fail exactly as we predicted and I just described?

            It was our only chance, since you can’t make “eat shit and also genocide” palatable. Your and the DNC’s plan of telling people not to try to get something that could actually win worked exactly how we’ve been saying it works since fucking 2016.

              Yes, we all tried to force you to love genocide. It’s in no way that we wished for the only hope for america and you didn’t care about that whatsoever. You definitely cared. Morally pure angels, the lot of you. ZERO culpability.

              YOUR. PLAN. FAILED. And you helped Trump win. Precisely as you were told would happen. Since it was as predictable as the sun rising tomorrow.

                Correct. Yall were more interested in shutting people up and pretending being republican-lite was actually a viable way to win a year before the election, instead of doing the only thing that would have won the election.

                This isn’t even new, in 2016 the DNC ratfucked Bernie and silenced anyone saying “hey, maybe yall should like yanno, help people if you want their votes”.

                You lost to Donald Trump twice and you still haven’t learned anything. Maybe you’ll get to lose a third time while telling us how important it is everyone vote for Newsom/W and nobody say “holy shit are you trying to lose” or youre a secret republican.

                  You can distract all you want. Your plan failed extremely hard unless you wanted Trump.
