Re: Gmail Migration - New Support Content
And what about customers who, unlike Telus, don't want anything to do with a company like Google who eagerly helps police state dictators like Communist China censor what their customers can discover and explore on the Web? Who eagerly helps the Communist Chinese fascists spy on their citizens and assign them "social scores" that determine what kind of job they can have, whether their kids can go to school, whether they can travel, etc. Telus might not mind working with Google despite their record of privacy breaches and helping murderous police state dictators. But that goes against everything I believe in after wearing a Canadian infantryman's uniform for 30 years, being deployed against murderous dictators exactly like that. And against everything I believe in as a Canadian. What about that? Don't worry about it? Go ahead, change my mind...40KViews3likes6CommentsRe: Why do I still have to pay Telus for email when they've handed my email account to Google Gmail?
Yes, you have to pay Telus so they can pay Google to run your email through Google. AND you have to trust Telus that they aren't also getting some sort of return help from Google with data mining or otherwise using their customers as a commodity. And you're DEFINITELY not supposed to be outraged that Telus wants to voluntarily work with Google - despite Google's track record of helping with censorship and spying on Chinese citizens by the Communist Chinese government. Despite the fact that Google is happy to partner with and support with Google services and tools the Communist Chinese government is engaged in the genocide of their Muslim Ugher citizens. Nor should you be outraged that Telus is going to allow Google, through this partnership, to turn your email account and you into a commodity to be sold to whoever wants it. This is disgusting.16KViews1like0CommentsOur email is forced to Google - despite their privacy violations & aiding police state dictators?
So where is Telus' social license after they've decided to obligate all of us, without choice, to use Google as we use our email? Telus isn't aware of Google's decade long history of repeatedly being caught data-mining email users, whether individual users or users from universities and other groups? Not aware that Google has continued to defend in court their claimed right to do this? Telus isn't aware that Google is, right now, accepting payment from the Communist Chinese police state dictatorship to enable those fascists to censor what the citizens of that dictatorship can search for, find, and view on the Internet? Telus isn't aware that Google is accepting payment from the Communist Chinese police state so they can use Google's analytics tools to spy on their citizens, track what they are saying and doing on the Internet, and then assign their citizens "social scores" that determine whether they get a job, whether their children can go to school, whether they can travel, etc? How about Google happily working with the Communist Chinese despite those dictatorships using Google to help them continue their genocide of their Muslim Ugher citizens? The repression and murder of those in the Falon Gong religious group? Google - and Telus - can be trusted after that to protect my privacy? Given Google's decade long record of doing exactly the opposite? I don't believe that. If the NRA, the original US civil rights organization with over 4 million paid members, offered a similar email engine as Google, but at just half the cost - would Telus have also shoved the NRA down our throats without asking first because it would have saved us money? And if not, why not? I spent 30 years wearing the uniform of a Canadian infantryman, representing our country overseas on UN peacekeeping tours and in war deployments, being a bullet magnet. I saw what genocide looks and smells like in Bosnia. Genocide exactly like Google's partner, Communist China, is doing right now with their Muslim Ugher citizens. And now Telus tells me they WILL give my email account and personal information to Google - a company eager to help fascistic police state dictatorships as long as they will pay them, just like Telus, for doing so? Where I not only pay my monthly Telus fees, but I also become an asset Google can make money off selling? Google is the antithesis of everything Canada and Canadian values stand for, in what they do with personal information and who they will partner with and help to make a profit. Google is evil. They treat people as a commodity for monetization. Go ahead and change my mind: make an argument that they aren't, given their record of aiding dictatorships like Communist China engage in genocide and oppression. Go ahead and change my mind that I should trust them to respect my privacy after their decade long record of doing the opposite. This is disgusting. Whoever decided to partner with any company like Google is disgusting. At least give us an option to continue using our Telus email without going through and being used by a company like Google to add to their profits. Need some web links to Google's history, Telus? Or do you already know - but you just don't care? Disgusting.3.6KViews0likes3Comments
