Boycott Google.
Been doing it for years now. It’s a very easy thing to do.
Have fun reading my decade of spam!
Hehe I also use Gmail only as my sign up box for all kinds ok of nonsense. It's busting with junk mail.
I don’t care if it sounds bad, Israel is a parasitic nation
Haha this was a great time for me to dump Google Photos for Jottacloud.
Your data will then be stored in Norway and it's like 13$ for unlimited storage (with the caveat of bandwidth being throttled if you have more than 5TB).
But still, $13 for 5TB is a lot - and that jurisdiction? Hoo boy. My rights are safe, at least.
The last time this was posted it didn't have the link and was taken down.
This source has a seriously questionable objective to say the least.
I'm cool with critique of this acquisition, but I'd love to see it verified by a more reputable source.
In 2022, Robert Scheer reported that Google AdSense informed publishers, including MintPress News, that, "Due to the war in Ukraine, we will pause monetization of content that exploits, dismisses, or condones the war." According to Scheer, these restrictions included "any pieces that question the NATO narrative on Ukraine into the content it describes".
They questioned with the NATO narrative? How dare they! Next thing you know they are providing well-sourced information and debunking poorly sourced claims.
I am glad that your Wikipedia page quoting USAID funded media outlets is saying that Mintpress is a scam. This completely impartial news helped me wake up to my brainwashing of not blindly believing US state media.
Next time I read a MintPress article I will be sure to not check their sources to make up my own mind. But instead brand them unreliable because they question the NATO narrative. Thank you Lemmy.World user! I love the IDF and unit8200 they are awesome!
Ah yes, the cherry-pick and ad hominem.
The previous several paragraphs were more concerning.
For example:
MintPress News said it was a for-profit "regular news organization," with an initial business plan where advertising revenues would exceed costs after three years.[12] MintPress's anonymous investors were originally intended to fund MintPress operations until 2015.[2] The editor had investors, who Muhawesh claimed were "retired businesspeople", but she would not name them, a situation MinnPost said was "unfortunate for a journalism operation fighting alongside people seeking transparency. The site's 'About Us' page is similarly skinny."[12]
The irony of your insinuating I don't check my sources when my comment is about precisely that is both amusing and disheartening. Shouldn't we all exercise this caution?
This seems like good reporting, and there is literally 0 coverage from this angle elsewhere that I could find.
For what it's worth, I've been to Palestine and inevitably Israel. I have lobbied my congressional representatives to cease support for Israel. I voted "ceasefire" in the Democratic primary. But because I happen to think the source you chose is questionable and come from a different instance, I must support the apartheid regime.
And indeed I chose .world in the reddit API migration when .ml was actively encouraging sign ups on other instances, please forgive my terrible oversight.
I hope you have a better day.
Ah, of course your honor, the cherry picked example of a literal smoking gun you found in my hand
Libs start reading the cited sources instead of asking the factuality police challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
