      You should be mad about the things google does. I don’t think this particular thing is unreasonable though.

          They have a duty to moderate public-facing systems. This is a link/bookmark sharing system, so obviously bookmarks that are pointing to things that are illegal are going to be dealt with.

            • OP claimed it’s his private bookmarks not facing public

            • the site doesn’t contain any illegal content. It’s just google being overzealous and intrusive

            • Google Keep Notes has a sharing note feature. You think it would ok for them to sniff what you noting and delete it if they didn’t like it?

            • one again - there’s nothing illegal on that website, nor is accessing it or sharing it’s address

              OP is mistaken. Read the email in the screenshot.

            They don’t have to, they choose to. You can share bookmarks on Firefox, but Mozilla doesn’t filter nor censor them Orwellian style.

              I’m pretty sure there are reasonable expectations by governments that you maintain adequate moderation, especially the EU. If Mozilla were to deploy a public facing system and not moderate it, they would catch hell from the EU and likely be fined out the ass.

          If you’re going to store something on someone else’s computer (Google cloud), they have every right to control what is and is not allowed on their systems. Don’t like it? Use encryption, selfhost, etc…

              Chad comment although I agree with other person that this is not the worst of Google’s crimes.

      So if you have a collection with political targets and the folder is just google maps links to their houses with their names as the bookmark name google shouldn’t be allowed to stop you from spreading this?

      Sure google is shitty but this feature is designed to share links with other people and sometimes those links can be dangerous so imho it’s absolutely necessary to moderate them at some level.

          In that case they deleted a link to illegal content in their jurisdiction - so should be fine - shouldn’t it?
