Surprise, surprise.
Google’s Blogger reversed itself –
and now we can distrust and despise Google even more than we did already.
Sure, Blogger is a free service from Google. So, that means we
should be grateful?
To the contrary. Once lured into Google’s trap, who wants to continue using a service offered by a company that clearly believes it is acceptable to use devious, hate-filled gestapo tactics in dealing with its online public. More to the point, Google’s fatuous, feckless, self-important engineers in Mountain View should not be determining the fate of anything.

All of us should have known, more than a decade ago, when
Google formally adopted the corporate motto “Don’t be evil,” that it would eventually do exactly the opposite.
New motto: “We screw our users.”
Google is hell-bent on tossing any shred of intellectual and moral integrity it ever had. It thinks it will be rewarded for pandering to the regressive, intolerant, repressive agenda of ignorant conservatives. Not gonna happen.

A modified version of this blog is already being created
at Wordpress. Google is not to be trusted.
