    Google says it’s no different than checking IDs at the airport.

    Fucker, if I own the airport, own the planes in the airport, am the only person using my own planes in my own airport, then nobody is asking for my ID.

      Okay, but what if Google owns the airport, the planes, and thinks it’s entitled to own the people flying on them, to boot?

      There it is, haha.

      Gave me a good chuckle as i’m with you here.

      I have a similar sentiment when it comes to ads, my device, i pay for the internet and the device is inside my home. I’ll decide if you get to show me ads.

        For ads at least the argument can be made that the content you consume is not yours and as such you should not be allowed to choose how it is monetized.

        Google unilaterally deciding this is like Firefox or chrome adding ads to websites. Which is like no… They’re the medium through which content is consumed.

        The minimalist in me would love that. But while I am paying for this shit, it’s mine to do what the hell I damn well please with it!
