Something that they don’t point out, because it is the cold truth that people don’t want to hear, is there is no turning back. Once they have your info, you cannot get it back. You cannot force them to erase it, and they *will* use it to their advantage, no matter what the ends.

About the “if you’re not paying….” thing: true enough, but paid versions of some things just aren’t available, and even if they were it wouldn’t solve the problem. Also, you *DO* pay for the iPhone and the various android phones; doesn’t keep Apple and Google from snooping around in your phone does it? And tracking where you physically go? Or some cop from using an app to snatch everything off your phone without a warrant while you sit there in your car?

A week ago, we reported that Scroogle was being blocked by Google and searches on the privacy search engine were no longer working. Since then, the site continued not to work and now it is completely offline.

The owner, Daniel Brandt, said he took it down “forever.” He blames both Google and DDOS attack by someone or a group of people who had a personal vendetta with him. He said even if the DDOS attack did not happen, Scroogle would only have lasted an additional 6 months due to Google’s throttling and squeezing of the service.*

hahahahahhahaaaaaa Resistance Is Futile.
