“Powerful company”

Gerard O.
1/13/24

The most performant web browser and basically the whole google ecosystem is sleek. I like how I can easily arrange my workplace using sheets, docs, different cloud storages, and, sincerely speaking, you can even create a profitable business relying strictly on their services. Doesn't it sound enticing? I do think so, thus, I admire surfing the net, customizing my browser whatever I want, and I highly cherish their attitude to data prtoection. 🤞

Search results are biased and lacking in honesty or truth, detouring the public from awakening to the toxicity that operates behind google, youtube, yahoo and everything else for that matter. Look out for a closedown of this old worn-out unconsciousness that reads behind society and all of its operations. It's time to get real. Understand?

When I search for a product for local shopping it thinks I live an hour to 8 hrs away from my actual town. When I asked who did scooter tire repair, none of the companies listed do scooter tire repair.
I ask to find 12.5" tire and it gives me all sizes even when put in "?". Very frustrating!

Google's search functionality is pretty good, and it definitely blows bing out of the water. Google will try to fool you and make the site seem cute, with its rainbow pastel colors and little google doodles. However, they keep logs of all your searches and personal information. In 2019, it's parent company was sued for collecting personal data from children. Their business seems to only be interested in making money, and they don't care about child safety. I'm a minor myself, so it's very upsetting to know that they harvested my personal data.

Tip for consumers:
Be careful!

I have very little trust in Google. They are okay at helping me to locate data but that data usually has to line up with their ideology. Additionally I keep getting a notification that I need to update my Google profile with my date of birth to comply with the law. There is no law, repeat no law, that I am aware of that requires me to provide Google with my birth date and I'm getting tired of them lying to me to try to get this information.

Tip for consumers:
Free email, cloud storage, and browser

What happened to the internet? Use to be a mostly honest, easy, welcoming network. No more. NOt with controlling monopolies like Google who only care about profits and maintaining their control and privacy invading grip over everyone. Needs to be broken up and thrown the wind. The sooner the better. Nothing is free with Google any more, they just want to get your money. They have ruined countless good companies after taking the over such as Skype, which is now a hacked-by them-medium, not safe to use, nor reliable.

I would advise to order little bit of $$$and patiently wait. I never received some things I ordered once I paid more for a bigger amount. This site is sorta a scam that does not hold sellers accountable. I never received refund or merchandise over $100 but received other cheap items that I figure was bait for a new customer

Tip for consumers:
I the items I did receive after a month were actually good but some things that cost more were never received and I wasn’t able to find the correct link to dispute it. The site is disappointing

Je reconnais que les logiciels vendus sont fiables et pratiques, et la rapidité d'acquisition de clé de licence immédiatement après l'achat est louable. Je jette des fleurs à cette entreprise pour ses biens faits.

Tip for consumers:
La formation, les clients doivent être formés sur les appli et logiciels pour les utiliser sans difficulté. Pourriez vous ouvrir une formation en ligne, ça sera mieux.

Google's algorithms suppress certain outlets/websites. They are known to favor large businesses and suppress small businesses. The Wall Street Journal investigated this and has an article about it here: https://on.wsj.com/3wXGxDM.

Bussiness Insider also has an article on Google manipulating search results. You can read it here: https://www.businessinsider.com/google-manipulates-search-results-report-2019-11.

This type of behavior should worry everyone..

Tip for consumers:
If you are worried about your search results being hidden, look for an alternative search engine.

Really very disappointed, Since the beginning of April every time I'm using Google pay it gets Declined and I have to use my card. I didn't have any issues before that and it was working perfectly.

My son loves magic tracks, and I saw that the website had a double offer so I thought I would take advantage. Well it turns out that after putting in all of my info and placing the order it says that the regular processing time would be 3-6 weeks! Unless of course you too to pay them an additional $7 for faster shipping then after the order is processed up pups a $12 processing fee and by this time the order was already through and I did not see a processing fee anywhere before hand unless it was really small or didn't display well on the phone, in which case is still pretty sneaky.

I was disappointed by the underhanded nickle and diming, I'm still going to get the cars and they are( after all of the fees $6 cheaper for two than if I would have bought them at the store. But still buyers beware when checking out ay this site!

I've written about this before and have written to Criterion about it, with only a know-nothing response.
Since writing about it previously I've gathered more evidence.
Several examples include Fassbinder's Despair, 1978, based on the Nabokov novel,
And Lars von Trier's Antichrist, 2008.
If Criterion is censoring sexual scenes they have the responsibility of notifying viewers and potential viewers.
Had I been notified I wouldn't have purchased an annual subscription.

Tip for consumers:
A wide range of films, old and recent. Several important foreign directors are omitted, however.
Still, it is good to see otherwise hard-to-find films.
But beware the unreported censorship.
Evidently Criterion wants to have it both ways: display provocative films, but censor integral sexual scenes.
Bad policy and hypocritical.

There are tons of search engines that don't track you and report you to state agencies if they ask.
Please protect yourself and find another.

Is SafeCart really safe? There are so many people with so many negative stories about the site. Surely they cannot be all making up those stories? If the SafeCart were a genuine set up someone representing them should respond to the contributor of those with various complaints of fraud.

It wasn't enough to be just Google.com. Now, this profitable search engine has to own YouTube and Google Review and Google Mapping, change its name to Alphabet (meaning more to the world than even Amazon) and find new ways to screw consumers. Is it any wonder that people are becoming so frustrated with Google in its many forms that they will show up at YouTube and start shooting? Why would anyone think that once YouTube sold out to Google that Google would continue to pay you what YouTube used to pay you? Immediately after buying YouTube, Google terminated all customer service positions for Gmail, YouTube and Google. What a blinking mess that has created. About a year ago I started making reviews on Google, and I found that even though Google refuses to speak to or communicate with any reviewer, Google will take down your review if some powerful company threatens it. So, what is the point of a review that is not just another superficial, meaningless review? Google is the perfect example of a company too big for its britches.

Overall, Google technology is great, but I once advertised on Google. They blocked one of my ads, and I was okay with it because I figured that I didn't need to have it anyway. However, they re-enabled it without notifying me and I was billed. It was impossible to resolve this and get my money back. I called and was told a manager would follow up, but that never happened. And it's been a few years now. I would not use their advertisement service again.

Google knows everything about you. Your location, your eating and shopping habits. Everything. Last 2 years alone they made 146 billion dollars in ad revenue, and selling YOUR privacy to the highest bidder. Much like facebook. Pure data mining! Please do your best to de google yourself! Read guides on how to do it! As citizens we CAN fight back. You CAN control your privacy. A good start is using an app called adguard, or blockada (free) or dns-66 (free) for android phones. And by using brave web browser. It will block allot of these trackers, and give you back your right to privacy!

Hope i helped! I feel this is critical!

First, let me say that I'm a new user to this site, where you can post photos, join different communities and share all sorts of things. However, I am tired of seeing so much porn on this site! There seems to be no way to block these photos and videos from being seen by me and/or my grandchildren! If this doesn't change - I may leave permanently. I find a lot of photos/videos on there VERY offensive.

Every time I call them (which is every two days!) the say they'll fix my computer, but NOW I'm finding my photos, some documents and different things I had ARE GONE! They are no where to be found!
The reps are in India and take hold of your computer VERTUALLY! They take 24 hours to get anything done, so it's annoying!
