A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Until they start banning accounts for violating the tos. Then people with 20 years of emails are going to be lost without them.

That will absolutely include government accounts.

Google would get instagibbed.

I don't believe that it really would have to. Any official government accounts likely are tied to the government Google organization. If you are talking about private accounts then Google can use the horde of data they have to tie government officials to private accounts.

Overall though, this is also following the belief that anyone in the government is smart enough to use ad blockers which I have my doubts. I don't think any real high up government official uses ad block.

Yes, shithead, the IT professionals tasked with setting up government computers do in fact know how to install a fucking browser extension.
