Developers, it’s time for you to choose a side: will you help rid the web of privacy-invading tracking or be complicit in it?

    I downvoted because this read like pointless nerdrage. The only way to completely avoid Google is to turn off the internet. There are many ways to limit Google influence, but those are much better explained on switching.software. Admittedly, there should also be a site urging developers to stop utilizing Google in their projects but such a site shouldn’t read like the blog of an angry 18 year old who just discovered the free software movement.

      Being an angry 18 year old may mean that you are becoming an articulate, critical 36 year old, and subsequently even an influential, world enhancing 72 year old.

      A single post won’t change the world. Democracy means that you should/need to listen to people with “stupid” ideas. Some are dumb, less will prove influential.

      Let people express their ideas and let them grow them. Downvoting doesn’t seem productive in most cases… if you don’t like something, move on.
