Totally agreed. Google's arguments in the two threads on this forum,
while admittedly open and appreciated, just don't make sense, whether as
to being consistent with themselves, or on their own. When I finish puking
maybe I'll help debunk them. For now, they're just the usual corporate,
kneejerk, cost minimized, data collecting, counter solutions we see time and
again. Come to think of it, any number of people on this list who participate in
Tor, opensource, speaking freely, doing good in general... who have
grandfathered
Google accounts would be denied that chance today due to Google's current
policies. These participants haven't changed, Google has. It's really
quite sad :-(
Woes be to us for expecting more.
