People are leaving Google’s ecosystem for open, privacy-first tools, and Google’s response says everything. Immich, a respected self-hosted photo app, was suddenly flagged as “dangerous” by Google’s Safe Browsing. No malware, no scam, just users controlling their own data. The block was lifted, then reinstated, blacklisting the entire domain. It’s not just Immich. Jellyfin, Nextcloud, and YunoHost have faced the same problem. One corporate filter deciding what the web can see.

That’s why I use @brave and @firefox and Tor to browse, along with VPN and other methods of becoming anonymous. It’s time we took our identity and our privacy back from @Meta, @Microsoft , @Apple , and @Google

I'm getting close to springing for a Pixel and run GrapheneOS. I already have a @ProtonMail paid account with drive access, AI and photo backup.

I don't often see much talk about the removal of agency. Google and Microsoft have been crippling user agency over the past decade or so, removing more and more options to opt-out of "features". Alternatives should focus more on this, alongside privacy.

Flag anything that can affect your profits as "dangerous".

Total market control backed by government. Sounds fun.

Linux Mobile is not yet a viable option. I have a Pixel running GrapheneOS. It took me about a month to detox from Google tentacles and now I love my Graphone! 🙂 I also ditched Windows 11 for LDME!

Facebook does this, too - they've flagged many links to promising up-and-coming am alternatives as dangerous. And even when people know it's untrue, the friction in sharing + subtle implication has always been enough to kill any growth. Tech monopolies have too much power.

Remember when Google's prime directive was "do no evil"?

Looks like skeletons like “internet explorer only website” and “flash” are back in another form

I'm seeing it 100% fine both via google search and the play store, tho?

Wonderful news! Sacrifices can and must be made. No one needs accounts with every social media, VOD/Streaming platform, and AI platform. Be intentionally minimalistic with your tech usage and exposure. Boycott tech that is invading our privacy and getting rich from it!
