They'd only ever do that if there was mass compliance, if there's none, they won't risk setting off the powder keg

It works through Tor, by the way. I had the same experience can't look at it but I can through Tor. They even have a .onion.

What do Americans gain by changing the name of Lake Ontario?

Yeah too many people are talking about things like data centers, flock cameras, digital id, central bank digital currency, so starting meaningless fights about what a lakes name is serves to get people off the important topics.

It's very easy, a lot of these huge platforms are just corporate adware and military/intelligence propaganda machines, creating something real with real people will blow it out of the water.

It's fundamentally unenforceable, even if they tried to do what they've done to phones and not allow other OS's to be installed, you could still get development boxes, embedded boxes, etc that by nature of being what they are could not have locked boot loaders.

Most people that think that way or any similar way are responding to something real, but their response goes in the wrong direction. That is why open discourse and being open and honest with people is the most important path to take. People are generally reasonable if you approach with sincerity of heart. The idea that you'll save the world with sudden unprokoved violence and anger is more misguided than the person who simply holds misguided beliefs. Part of the journey of personal growth is figuring that out.

GrapheneOS not supporting Pixel 11s?

I understand the purpose of it, but if you are using your phone in a smart manner (you shouldn't use a cell phone for genuinely urgently serious things just for bare minimum) then it's not a huge deal. The biggest thing it will help with is things in the realm of Pegasus spyware that will use memory corruption bugs that gain arbitrary system access. If you do not use the phone for things you should already (even with GOS) NOT be using a cell phone for, you will be fine.

Tor is a military project so it's like saying water is wet. There are lots of other options.
