Hey Google, when all email providers sucked you fixed it with Gmail, you run a DNS at 8.8.8.8, and now -- now, I think you know what you need to do now :)

(I personally recommend you also do a web-based proxy, because who is going to filter https://www.google.com now or in the future?)

I believe in you. You can do it!

Counter this chilling effect today - and show more adwords as a result. (There is no irony in this statement. I mean from web sites that opt into adwords, not from selling VPN traffic logs.)



I'm pretty sure throwing our political weight behind corporations play-acting benevolence, instead of actual reform, is how we ended up here.


I'll take what I can get :) The damage is done and I think Google should help route around it.

Of course I agree with you that attacking the policy is also very important, but people still have to use the Internet every day. I'm not asking Google to do this as a policy statement - but as a practical matter. They can solve this problem for users by running a VPN for everyone and also web proxy via https://www.google.com which nobody could really filter.

This does not take away from the importance of attacking this policy.


Does Chrome's Data Saver (which at least routes HTTP requests around your ISP) count as a start?


from your description, sure. It just needs to do something bigger. :)
