Is Google era over... and time to move on?
![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSDc7LDqmr3jgYjLwF9C48ESoC8eqQ5sd7tsjPpMA2hza/image.png)

# Sweet 90s
I remember when Google search engine started. It was in late 90's during pretty charming time. Only geeks were interested in IT and computers, there was no censorship (in IT world) and no-one was caring about anything except the fact how things work. It was something like Bitcoin before 2013. No regulators, no KYC,  no AML,  no politicians involved. In those times (90's) Microsoft was the bad guy because it has a monopoly dominance of PC world with those constantly crashing [Windows 95](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_95) and lot better [Windows NT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_NT). People like me welcomed new pioneers like [GNU/Linux](https://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.en.html) OS and Google with its web approach that was slowly taking OS lock-in power from Microsoft.

# How it started
That was time when I first seen Google search engine, simple web page with one input  with all those crazy colors. Since then I liked Google. It was simple engine, it worked and it was better and better. In time they started to bring new products and services. It was company full of geeks and very talented engineers and everything was fine. Then something BAD happened!  They were noticed by huge capital and the biggest investors. And politicians. They started to hire many neo-liberals people to various mainly non-tech positions. Censorship, political influence, political correctness and spying came into Google. They fought against it first. But when you give a finger to Satan, he will have all hand and the rest of you eventually. Still, there were some brighter moments like when Google denied to censor and spy on Chinese people and rather [canceled its presence in China](https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2016/01/why-google-quit-china-and-why-its-heading-back/424482/)  , however this was just a one victory of freedom among many looses.

# Google still technological edge
I still use Google products  and like their features. Technically, Google still has no competition in many areas, Google Docs are great piece of software, Youtube is still the largest video storage and Android is very good OS like it or not - before Android started, there were mostly "stupid" except minority phones with Windows Mobile OS and Symbian but only Android brought really powerful features and development on mobile phones. No, I didn't forget iOS - it was actually the pioneer and forefather of all this smart phones era - but Apple product were always out of my focus range - simply because they were (are) overpriced and technologically they don't offer - at least not for me - anything extra for that highly added price. Moreover they forcefully lock you to the Apple ecosystem but let's' go back to Google.

# What happened
So this is how it was. Since then, Google (Alphabet today) became top multi billion dollar company being slowly  influenced by [NWO](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_World_Order_(conspiracy_theory)) elites from inside and outside. Google started to be dependent on mercy of politicians and people behind them and when the company don't cooperate, they (regulatory agencies named by politicians) cut them painfully. They (politicians and international organization elites) have lot of vague anti-monopoly laws that expose Google completely under power of these people to penalize Google with huge fines for whatever they wish. It's bad world we live in and it's not Google's fault. Google is fighting a fight it  cannot win, they actually already lost it. Some time ago they still had two choices, to close the shop or to behave nicely according to totalitarian politicians. To be principle and leave  China costed them fortune but what else? Should they leave EU and US and stay only on some minor freedom territory? This is what they didn't do. It's difference to leave some fortune, but to leave all the fortune? Only people with really strong moral code did it like Lavabit owner Ladar Levison.  Besides that, ownership of Google has also changed in years, wealthy elites people and big money loaded organizations put lot of capital in into Google and they de-facto control it to some extent as they own significant amount of shares although [Larry Page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Page) and [Sergey Brin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergey_Brin) still  also owns a significant share they are now much more NWO puppets these days. It's quite ironical, because when they (the founders) had "just" multi million company back in 90's  they had much more power than now even thought they have now multi billion dollar shares.

# Times of censorship, "fact-checks" and bans
Google, similar to [Facebook](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook) is your censor now (or controlled by censors if you want). My view is that Google doesn't want to be censor but "must" be and Facebook somehow wants to be (because it's driven by one of the greatest neo-liberal). Anyway, they can ban you if you don't follow new neo-marxist policy which pretends to be nice hate-free following  their idea of democracy although nature behind it quite contradicts those words. They can ban you even if you are "politically nice" person like [this professor of statistics](http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-08-22/google-folds-restores-accounts-statistics-professor?page=1). It's an ordinary censorship regardless what they call it. Fact-checks? You must be kidding me. I live in country where totalitarian communism had been deployed until 1989 and I remember what was checked-fact. Only what ruling party and groups of censors approved. We have slightly different situation now, a situation where global international non-elected people are telling you through various well-paid influential channels (news - CNN, ABC, MSNBC, you name it,  many government agencies and many non-profit organizations) what is acceptable view and what is not. Acceptable view is this NWO-united narrative called using nice words like "democracy" (although it has nothing to do with any real meaning of the word), "unity" and "border-less",  and anything contrary to it is marked by abusive dictionary like hate-speech, conspiracy theories, intolerance and politically incorrect behavior. Companies like Google must follow these neo-liberal NWO principles otherwise they are hugely persecuted financially and otherwise.  Even now they are fined across the world just to be nice kid and to be reminded who is the real master of the house.

# Freedom is calling 
Freedom-sensitive people are feeling that there is no place in this world for them. Quite everything is grabbed or significantly influenced by NWO. Services like Youtube, Facebook can anytime ban you once you step-out from mainstream world-view and become uncomfortable for them. We need new technological heroes similar to those who have been once in Google, Yahoo and Linux world to get again the technological freedom that we had before millennia turn-over and which we lost for described reasons above. 

![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZnvVn4WXFbY9mrkCtW5Qkb2BntzGGsqjF9kTghzVXEGU/image.png)

# Good news
Good news is that new kind of services that will be censorship-proofed are being built right now. Decentralization is the way for this era and everyone here knows it because we are on Steemit and using cryptocurrency. Still even platform like Steemit is not completely immune. To ban domain is under quite simply for the elites because they are controlled by ICANN since 2016 (thanks to [Obama who moved it from national control](https://www.ft.com/content/66291afc-87f8-11e6-8cb7-e7ada1d123b1)). It was another nice achievement for NWO and international institutions. I really look forward tor technologies like [Maidsafe](https://maidsafe.net/) because they really solve this issue from ground and can really brings free internet renaissance  similar to what we experienced in 90's. 

![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVK5rcDLfauDFxAJzFc8d2ieaAsPzFBaeP2BmdXL5eTqh/image.png)

# Move your digital life
After being said all of this, I definitely encourage you to move away from major player services like Google, Facebook, Yahoo, Microsoft and Apple (if possible). Where to go? I would suggest avoid services any totalitarian censorship-focused countries like China, Russia, EU countries. For things where it is possible, use decentralized services. If it's not possible, use community services. For centralized services I would probably recommend you use services located in Switzerland or similar neutral country and only those services that provides end-to-end encryption. The same with cloud services. Some of you might think that it's quite an paranoia approach. It might be but imagine you wake-up one day not following official narrative and mainstream media. In such a moment you're actually one step from ban. And it's not just about the ban. It's also about spying, it's also about filtering information, telling you what you should think and publish and what you cannot. Now it's "just a ban" but there is a time is not far from now when persecution for such a views will be much more severe, so in some sense we are still lucky. Anywy, if you feel even now depressed from all of this, don't be. There is still Jesus and so make yourself ready because none of these troubles will be here forever.

# Conclusion
As I said before - I like Google products and their technological achievements but they are selling (like many other big IT companies) their soul piece by piece to these elite moral corpses working against humanity and so... it's time to slowly move on and let them fall in the landmark of history if they don't finally wake up and change their course to fight for people and freedom again.

They missed the first round of crypto around 2013-2014 because Bitcoin was too controversial for these well established big IT companies and they were simply afraid to participate or they just missed it. So they are few years behind and now many of them are building some blockchain-related services. On the other hand setting up crypto farms and mine on them is something quite different and I guess too risky with uncertain revenue so they stick to their traditional business. Much more I would expect big banks building buying super-computers and building crypto farms (on the other hand it's probably much more simple for them just to buy crypto directly - coins are still very cheap in relations to their budgets).

Like most major companies they wait until they become obsolete before they react. The music industry did it when they ignored digital media for a decade and they almost died because of it. The print industry did it when they pushed back against online articles/directories for a decade and they almost died because if it. And now banks and major tech companies are doing it by ignoring the blockchain technologies that are being developed, and they will again likely almost die before they do anything about it.

They will join the party at some point, but only when their company is on the total brink of destruction... same shit different day basically.

There are many avenues that people are pursuing which negates the power of the central corporations that are so well known to all of us.  However, do not underestimate their power to hold on.  Google, along with FB, Apple, etal, are on the cutting edge of things.  Contrast this with the average person who is totally naive to what is going on.

Two cases in point.

How many people give Microsoft money for Office when Open Office is a free download?

How many used windows at $100+ a pop when Ubuntu (to name one) was free?

The power of FB, YouTube, and Apple is the ecosystem...once people are locked in, they resist change.

Yes, lock-in is always last resort for these big dinosaurs. Sad thing is that Google once started as a "good guy" and it didn't need any lock-in totalitarian policy and still had significant user adoption. But it's hard in this world not being compromised.
