I've been trying to find a lawyer to at least talk about this serious issue.

Almost all government websites betray all of your confidential information to Google by including Javascript from Google. Open your brower's development tools if you know what that means, and look for request to Google when you hit any government website.

This is terrible, a wholesale handover of terabytes of private information from the public to Google. That Javascript can read anything on the page, and report back anything to Google. Google can also alter all of these pages to say whatever they want the site to say, without the site owner even knowing.

I usually find out about it when I'm trying to use a site and it won't work because I have all Google domains blocked with Little Snitch.

Want to say something to the water company you are obliged to get your water from? Sorry, you can't say it without an open door for Google eavesdropping:

https://www.calwater.com/contact-us/ exposes all your data to Google via https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js

That's just a trivial example. Try to buy health insurance without turning over all your info to Google. Or try to talk to the IRS without exposing your data to Google.

https://www.irs.gov/ forces your browser to make a request to https://www.google.com/js/bg/3-hpRAd0_wuB6laQqaJG0uu5agxtfADTbxmN8ntEYS8.js thus stripping away all of your privacy.

Worst one: you cannot even report an "anonymous" tip to the FBI without also reporting your identity and all the details in the tip to Google:

Edward Snowden is in exile partly because he disclosed Google's information pipeline to the federal government.

This has to stop.

It's because Google = the government.

🔥 New Post: Announcing InAppBrowser - see what JavaScript commands get injected through an in-app browser

👀 TikTok, when opening any website in their app, injects tracking code that can monitor all keystrokes, including passwords, and all taps.


They are late to recognize this.

Any site which includes Google javascript has turned over everything you do on that site to Google, every keystroke, every mouse movement.

If you haven't noticed already, we don't really have a justice system.

This would be similar to Trump trying to find good legal representation. The DOJ simply targets the lawyers and law firms that currently or previously represented him. Other lawyers see this and are terrified of having every aspect of their lives surveilled, criminal charges brought against them, losing standing in their communities and losing their ability to practice law. If they are not able to find something, the DOJ will target that person's family/friends etc. and/or make shit up.

Since Google (Alphabet) really provides the government with vast amounts of intelligence data, the same would happen to any lawyer taking your case.

Therefore, any competent lawyer will decline. They will probably site conflict of interest. As Google's contamination of most of the internet would lead to a bearing on most of the firms' other clients.
