In 2025, Google gave Amandla Thomas-Johnson's data to ICE without giving him the chance to challenge the subpoena, breaking a nearly decade-long promise to notify users before handing their data to law enforcement.

Samsung is retiring its SMS messenger and suggesting Google Message as an alternative.

FUCK NO!! I ain’t giving a way for the government to get everything without a warrant. Google is a collaborator, and it can eat shit!

    Are we seriously suggesting even with half a grain of salt that Samsung wouldn’t do the very same?

    Google’s just the first house on the street, they’ll all gladly snitch on you.

      Samsung at least isn’t American. There’s some level of effort required to get a foreign company to provide information.

      Google just pisses it out because they can.
