eff, to random

Google has ramped up its paternalistic behavior this year, controlling what extensions are allowed to do and whether someone uses an ad-blocker on YouTube, all while collecting even more user data for advertising. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/12/year-review-googles-corporate-paternalism-browser

@eff I wonder: if EFF had never gotten any money from Google, would they call them something more incisive than "paternalistic" (which sounds a bit bad, yet reassuring, clearly not of ultimate danger..)?

maybe more like: "violently predatory" or "beyond monopolistic", or "enemy of freedom" or "ultimate threat for privacy and freedom online"?

bah! "paternalistic" is probably enough to describe one's sugar daddy...
