TheMastersSon Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 Well either it's a new feature or we've never noticed it before, but the "Find content" button on the user profile screen seems to return full search results even without Google cookies. We've always used the "Posts" option on the left side which gives a much shorter list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorlyAged Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Now that Google are active enemies of a free and open internet, they've been permanently shitcanned in our house. I noticed certain functions on this site, such as getting a full list of my posting content, are impossible without accepting cookies from Google. Would it be possible to get these functions without bending over to these amoral demons from hell? I also will be deleting all my links to Youtube videos on this site, because I refuse to patronize their greed. Links. Proof. Evidence. I can claim a lot of things without backing them up too. @Etheron asked for your sources and was dismissed, so I am asking again. What are your sources for the statement that Google is an " active enemies of a free and open internet"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMastersSon Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 When you got no argument so all you're left with is to climb the tree and sling s***.Only when the arguing is ridiculous and/or OT in a discussion. Ask 10 random people on the street where they go for internet searches, then explain why a single company that holds an effective 90+% lock on the world's internet searches should be legally allowed to maniupulate these searches according to its own best interests, including squelching their own competition whenever and wherever they wish. When I say brutally stupid I mean it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
