Travel to Beijing, open up Google search, and see if it gives you any historically accurate results about what happened there.

I’m serious, it sounds like you could use a lesson in freedom and the world outside your country.

Did the US government tell Google to censor Tiannamen Square, or are they a global company that has to observe more than the whims of a single country?

I hope other countries start renaming the US soon.

Why didn’t they change it only in the US and not elsewhere? Could you imagine the uproar if Google censored Tiananmen Square world wide because of the Chinese government?

PS: Yes it was modified for everyone outside the US too. I am not American but your “president” is now allowed to change what name I have to call something?

The solution is simple, but not easy: Stop using their products. A mass exodus of their users will quickly take away their power.

Stop using all Alphabet/Google products. Other search engines, email providers, streaming video, and even cell phone operating systems exist. Switch to them.

Stop using all Meta products. Other social networks and messaging applications exist. Switch to them.

Stop buying from Amazon and watching their streams. Other online stores and streaming media exists. Switch to them.

Keep going for every company who has a billionaire CEO, owner, or shareholder. Their fortunes will evaporate quickly.

I guarantee Anthropic is still using AI to go through all the applications, and is likely using them to train specialized models which AI generated text would subtly poison or collapse.

Just run your LLM slop through an obfuscator or reword a few things here and there and voila, more chum for the slop bucket! 👍

He’s going to slap 100% tariffs on all network packets passing in and out of China! That will fix everything including the price of eggs!
