VPNs Are Absolutely a Solution to a Policy Problem

I advocated for Google to please do this here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13983468

I'll quote it in full:

>Hey Google, when all email providers sucked you fixed it with Gmail, you run a DNS at 8.8.8.8, and now -- now, I think you know what you need to do now :)

>(I personally recommend you also do a web-based proxy, because who is going to filter https://www.google.com now or in the future?)

>I believe in you. You can do it!

>Counter this chilling effect today - and show more adwords as a result. (There is no irony in this statement. I mean from web sites that opt into adwords, not from selling VPN traffic logs.)

Google, pay attention: step up to the plate. Please!

I'm sorry but google really is not on our side. They collect just as much data as any other silicon valley giant.

This is simply false. Facebook collects more data, for example, and shares it more freely with advertisers.
