Boycott of Google

Google has already been caught with their hand in the cookie-jar. Yet their company CEO and top executives think that its okay to rob you of your freedom to privacy and the protection of your own personally identifiable information---in as much as they've boldly stated so on numerous occasions before the press.

They scan our emails, and invade every aspect of what we do online just so they can expliot our lives for the purpose of maximizing insane profits for themselves and their business affiliates, aka...every Tom, Dick and Harry of the advertising industry!

They will placate the severity of their actions every chance they get because they count on our stupidity and lack of motivation to oppose their intrusive behaviour.

If they were ever caught opening and reading someone's else's physical mail-------they'd be hauled into court so fast and legally slapped so hard, that they would have no choice but to conform to newly imposed industry restrictions as a result of the back-lash.

Yet, to this day and bacause of the already obscure nature of the internet, they get away with murder because they can manipulate anything they want, however they wish to without any accountability for their actions.

It's prolly a pretty safe bet that 90 percent of the lobbyists in Washington are contracted by Google in some form or fashion for the purpose of ensuring that law-makers continue to grant them free reign to do anything they want with our information.

Identity theft is a very serious crime and a real threat to the safety of our personally identifiable information and its companies like Google and Facebook, as well as many others whom pilfer and secretly dispense our info, that are the real reasons why so many of us our vulnerable to such exploitation!

It is what it is-------don't let Google or any other montrosity of a company try to weasle it's way out of culpability for their criminal behavior! We have to fight this 'tooth and nail' every step of the way, if we're ever going to come out on top of this insidious game they our playing with our lives.

Don't be manipulated into thinking that this doesn't matter, because that's just what they want from us. Our lives and our identities are ours alone and it is our right to protect what we consider personal and private---period!

It is my personal feeling that it isn't GOOGLE perse that we should be concerned with, but yet other companies which work with google. It is my personal experience that google may be under a great deal of attack from hackers to fraudulant apps. It is only my personal feeling, because I had my google (free webblog) taken over by eNom. prematurly, and litterly swipped out from under Google's nose. It's true google has poor customer service, but imagine the service if clients such as eNom is coming in and taking business right out from underneath them. We should set up a boycott for eNom (registra) and Demand Media who also owns eNom.  I know of several people who were victoms of there underhanded ways.  Lets get to the root of the problems. Google may be going under, so lets take at the crooks helping them to do so instead.

Three-pronged attack:
!. Use DuckDuckGo for all your searches from now on, or at least the ones you don't want tracked.
2. Anytime of day you find yourself just staring at the computer monitor, go to Google and do 10 quick, generic, boring searches. No brand names, just stuff like"shoes, kittens, towels, paper, water, etc. This will effectively fill up their databases with useless junk.
3. Post this message everywhere. Forums, blogs, etc

Anyone who takes/saves/uses YOUR information without your knowledge MUST BE STOOPED. The thin edge of the wedge people. Wake up to it.

i'm not giving those bastards my phone number. they are creating a web of linkages that will nail every individual identity so long as people are naive and permit it.  i advise all new account seekers to seek elsewhere.  there are other free internet mail providers.  

My sites were confirmed authorized but it didn't matter.  I received

legitimate clicks and views. I Made less than $50 reaching my payment

threshold and about to get my first check. The first email they sent me

stated my "account is disabled because of potential invalid clicks."  I

thought potential means it could happen but has not yet.  They sent no

prior warning.  After spending a day trying to contact customer service

(which usually sends you to an automated forum)  I submitted an appeal,

on the forums and according to google adsense although you can appeal all

decisions are final so basically if it is their mistake your out of luck.

Any money earned is kept by google and they claim it is returned to the

advertisers.  If anyone believes that I have a bridge to sell them. 

Further they state in the appeal email they send you that  "decisions on

appeals are the result of careful investigation by our policy specialists and are final." Yet if you contact them for specifics they

will not respond. They will not provide any details.   Very Fishy. So

keep this inmind..........you can get click bombed by someone else,

mistakes by google, or have 5 computers in your house and if a guest

clicks on an ad only one time without your knowledge you are out of luck

and loose any income earned. I wonder what really happens to that money.

I stayed on hold 1 hr and 50 min waiting to talk to a person and had to charge my phone since 1/2 my battery was gone. i finally hung up. What inexcusable no-service. Tjey took my money but their downloads go to an error page.

Google deactivated account due to supposed "suspicious activities". No notification, explanation of "suspicions" or answers to request for reactivation were ever received.

the worst customer service ever i will never use google again it cost me thousands of dollars in revenue and my 1 million dollar ad budget goes elsewhere. thanks for nothing google.

Use DuckDuckGo instaid of Google. It has less spam results, more privacy, !bang, 0-click info, and tons of customizations. http://duckduckgo.com

They disabled my account for no reason and now i cant use the android market on my phone, there is no way to contact them to turn it on and the only other thing I can do is set my phone back to factory standards and try again, which means losing my over 100 phone numbers! GOOGLE SUCKS!!!

Google obviously doesn't care about losing over $1,000 a month in revenue from AdWords.  They'd rather just lose the account.  Small business ads are the lifeblood of google, if more small businesses would spend their hard earned marketing dollars elsewhere, I am sure google would get the hint about their lousy customer service.

My GMail acct. was temporarily disabled, have lots of personal information on there including banking records...can't get in touch with anyone.  They want my phone number for a verification code???  Don't trust them as far as you can kick them...they don't know the meaning of the concept customer service.

Google consistently deactivates user accounts without just cause. Google is a giant on the NYSE yet has no customer service telephone number to address miappropriation of its users' merchant account monies. Google provides only canned email responses on sporadic issues with no resolution to serious user issues. Google shares private email gmail contacts and email information with third parties as well as government agencies. This must stop!
