Even ignoring the surveillance aspect of ads, which I could go on a massive rant about, Google and other ad platforms themselves doesn't seem to care about harming people with malvertising and scam ads. Why should I care about their revenue?

It's such a shame though, since as far as I know, the EU have had such an amazing track record. I'd expect no less from big tech, but not the EU.

I only did a quick skim through the abstracts so I might miss some important details, but from what I can tell, they're all rare/one-off events. Sure, they exist, but the rate at which these vaccine injuries exist is eclipsed by that of Covid itself; there's a reason why the hospitals were overloaded by Covid and not vaccine injuries. The point is not that the vaccine is 100% safe, it's that the downsides of Covid far outweigh that of the vaccine (not to mention that, at least from what I understand, vaccine injuries are not contagious, unlike Covid, and hence you are protecting others who are immunocompromised). Tl:dr is that unlike what you see with the overloading of hospitals during covid, they have no problem handling a couple of vaccine injuries here and there.

Is GrapheneOS affected?

On a more serious note, though, while I do 100% that the "Thin Blue Line" is pure idiocy, I don't think that actually going out of your way to harass them (even if it is warranted) is in any way effective in convincing them otherwise and having them see reason. Same reasoning as with why many young boys these days fall down the alt-right rabbit hole and become a Tater Tot.

I know right, imagine putting in so much effort just to strip some people of their most basic and fundamental human rights and thinking you're the victim.

It is the lesser of two evils imo. Not saying that AMD is any good, their alternatives are just that bad.

Imagine banning books, at all. Sure doesn't sound horrificly authoritarian to me /s

Chrome and Google hatred is 100% deserved and OOP should carry on with their crusade.

And they try to demonise Tor and I2P... At this rate, the dark web would soon be the only place to go.

I would agree with you on this if it weren't for the fact that scam ads are so widespread on Youtube and Google that it's almost like they don't care about their users, only money. If they don't care about their users, why should I care about their bottom line. Also, ads I don't have too much of a problem with, but data collection and surveillance I do, and it's hard to block one without blocking the other.
