Comment on google's getting pissy about using their shit while logged out

They probably don’t care if you use a different service if you don’t log in to use theirs. If you don’t log in they can’t easily monetize you by tracking your data and building a portfolio. Otherwise you use their resources at a cost and they don’t make money.

So threatening to leave for other services isn’t exactly a threat.

For a long time google existed without an option to create an account

  Except the government wanting this information didn’t exist. That’s the future, you ID will be tracked (it already is) and the government will know exactly what you say, where you go, and what you do. Throw it at an ‘AI’ for ‘normalcy’ and you have Minority Report in a much sadder way.

    Everyone is under suspicion. Criticism of Israeli genocides detected! Apply terrorism charges.

They still know who most users are even without a google login; they can monetize just fine.

They don’t care, but in 10 to 20 years time they will hire consultants to figure out why their user base chose inferior products to their superior free service.
