I don't use Google either, but since most traffic goes through Google anyway it's somewhat of a useless gesture.
Why is the US government using Google anyway? Are they the only company that we can hire to do this work? And, Google is NOT an American company, it's a global company.
Not sure what you mean by: "...most traffic goes through Google anyway..." Are you talking about people searching? Usually when I read about "traffic" I think the flow of packets, and backbone or edge providers (which Google isn't, to the best of my current recollection).
I will use Google to search when it meets my needs.... I pretty much have all tracking (and ads) blocked off on all of my devices, so I am not pestered with that kind of thing. And as far as data collection, it seems that every character that we type, and every syllable that we utter is being collected anyway, for quite some time. I sort of
and accept it as life in 2019....
"Why is the US government using Google anyway?"
The government is infested with people that wish to enable the harm that Google perpetrates.... they are willing to give them billions to do so, and access to anything that Google wants.
"Are they the only company that we can hire to do this work?"
No, they are not. But they are the company that can be used to destroy the sovereignty, security, and well being of this nation (and others).
"And, Google is NOT an American company, it's a global company."
For all intents and purposes, they are like the majority of multinationals, "global corporations." But technically they are an American corporation. There isn't much that we can do about that aspect, but hopefully more and more people will wake up to the nature of these companies...
