Very good. An evil corporation doing evil things to an evil agenda.
The details are unclear as to why these links were removed. Opining on Alphabet's morals at this point is premature.
It's not premature because calling Google evil has absolutely nothing to do with this action.
We don't need to make up reasons to call corpos such as Alphabet evil. The fact of the matter is that at this time, nobody even knows if Google lifted a finger to forward the delisting of Tweets. For all we know, it could be entirely on Twitter's end.
Hence, assigning blame to Google for this without understanding their role in it is premature.
It could also be the search algorithm reacting to all the users returning to google after seeing only the login page
Why are you so invested in bootlicking for google? They are precisely one of the mega corporations that fediverse exists to get away from. Peertube and other projects target platforms they own just like lemmy targets reddit and mastodon targets twitter. They are one of many centralised ridiculously oversized evil corps that this entire platform aims to subvert.
No bootlicking detected. The first sentence of my comment actually belies my contempt for them.
Not jumping to conclusions is not bootlicking.
He also said “doing evil things” but I’ve seen no evidence that they have “done” anything. This could be just be the algorithm responding to these tweets no longer being visible without login.
