I wish someone would actually drop the full leak somewhere. It would be interesting to read this myself.

In the article, it points out where they are finding their discoveries.

For example, one was about Data aging and impressions.

It's a LOT of api docs.

'Similarly, during democratic elections, Google employed whitelists for sites that should be shown (or demoted) for election-related information'

I'm sure they only use that little 'non-fascistic' feature for home use and not all over the world, yeah.

China, Russia, Iran etc seem to know what they are doing, and why. All people in the western world need to apply a Chinese firewall and block these US state/profit controlled corporations.
