    Yes googles make smartphones. They are also an email provider although there are many other email providers. I have absolutely no idea what “platform” you’re talking about though.

    You seem to be angry about a story you’ve made up in your own head. Granted it’s a stupid story, but it’s your story, so that’s your fault.

      I assume they meant android. If it was a Pixel phone running Android, they would be technically correct. But let’s be real, there’s a solid chance they use an iPhone anyway

      I don’t agree with that poster, but I think far too many people think Google is the only option that exists for many things and would defend Google above all else. Corporate manipulation has put this feel good idea in people’s heads. But the reality is Google doesn’t care about the users, only advertisers. Google is a cancer. We need to break that company up and regulate AI. Also, we need data privacy and data protection laws. Right now Google can delete you account and all data you have stored with them overnight with no warning and can prevent you from downloading your own data, which for some people could be decades of memories and lock you out of contact with others.

        Yes all of that is true and I’m not saying that Google aren’t a problem but I fundamentally have a problem with people that say things like above.

        As if there’s some sort of purity test for taking any kind of action at all. They complain when people take action because they haven’t salted the fields, it’s pathetic. It’s also entirely hypocritical because they’re usually not doing anything at all
