First, I'll apologize if I sound a bit grumpy today, it's not on you, and I hope you will remember that below, even though I strongly disagree with you, it's nonetheless nothing personal. Originally the off-topic I made was secondary mentions, my on-topic was the reason for posting, which was to make others aware why their post are deleted too here on Qubes users mailing list. I actually searched for an existing thread on it, but I found none, hence why I made this post for future users who use the search system for this issue, and not just the current users. In regards to contacting google, it will be useless. I already know the core issue at hand, I don't need to write to google, because it won't solve anything by doing that, google won't change it, it's not a bug, it's a system pushed forward by political movement. This is google increasing their bot censorship from that movement, but scre*wed up in the process. These censorship systems are something that is hard to do without building democratic censorship, but on the other hand it's very easy to use them for just that, intentional censorship. It's only a few clicks away to prevent democracy, and who decides what is censored anyway? and who controls who controls them? and who controls the future leaders who might someday go rogue on the democratic system which is only a few clicks away from becoming locked down and controlled? This is an anti-democratic political movement, which google is enforcing. This is a wide known problem, I'd expect everyone here knows this issue, which is inflamed by i.e. American politicians who wants to force organizations to monitor all conversations and make automatic censorship systems. The problem isn't something you can fix by contacting google, you can only fix it by ditching google altogether for someone that doesn't try do censorship. While the issue happened probably due to a bug, it doesn't change that everything we write here is censored, hence it doesn't matter if we fix the bug or not, it just puts focus on why these hidden automatic censorships are a bad idea to begin with. This is a poor political decision made by people that doesn't understand technology, and who doesn't care about democracy. They are control freaks who think they can make everything work through strict rules, and at that point, you build the internet of a dictatorship nation, then you only need the nation to become dictatorship as well. In an era where internet is becoming synonymous with society, it's dangerous for a democracy to have an internet of a dictators, it'll only shift people into becoming blind followers of a dictatorship system. Censoring content, will only shift power to a centralized location, you cannot expect a democracy to keep working if it's eaten up slowly by mechanics that prevents a democracy to work. This is just one part destroying democracy, we don't need to tell google to fix the bug, we need to tell them to remove this censorship entirely. Furthermore I've seen other people get their mails deleted recently, it's building up as of late, and this message was an attempt to reach out so that we can increase awareness of the issue, rather than leaving people with frustrations. The deleted posts don't tell anyone if googled deleted them, or if the person deleted them, which is also a big issue, but telling google to fix that, won't fix that they censor everything anyway. This, as [799] pointed out, can also serve as a discussion as to why we use something anti-freedom like Google, when it isn't aligning with Qubes core values. That's why all this is much more on-topic, that you might at first think about it. I'll have to copy/paste this message, just in case it gets deleted (once again). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
