Goo-Googled

I'm not sure if anyone paid attention to word that Google got haXXord a few months back, purportedly by someone in China or quite possibly China itself. No big things happened we were told. Funny that Google asked the NSA for assistance in the matter, which is kinda like having the fox guard the chicken coop!
Two days ago Google came clean and said that its prized "Gaia" authentication program had in fact been also compromised. This is potentially a HUGE fucking deal for not only the self described " ad agency", but even more so for the end user! People that bank, pay credit cards, apply for home loans, and generally store WAY more info online than they should will potentially suffer the most.
This is why I have abandoned my gmail account. It's not shut down...YET. Oh no, I left some nice little surprises in there for the Shemp-witted Spambots and real live Spammers to deal with. I hope they like infinite loops!! Fuck sticks!
The news that was reported wasn't what tipped me off that something was going seriously awry in Goinkleland. It was of course the MASSIVE amounts of spam I had within the last couple of weeks had just started to receive. When I say massive I'm talking in the vicinity of 25-75 separate pieces of spam a day!! I have had this account since 2001 and never got this kind of spam! I've had several filters in place on top of that! NO...I'm not perusing porn sites or signing up for every piece of shit website I see!! I have other mail accounts for that kind of nefarity anyway ;-)!!!

Listen, I know EVERYBODY loves Google, and there are many products they offer that are quite useful. But at what cost?!?! Isn't there an old saying about the cost of things that are free??? Just what are we giving to Google, or FaceBook, or Twitter for that matter when we so glibly give out our info and don't read the Terms of Service agreements with these companies??? The vast amount of data that any one of these companies stores about its users is insanely dangerous! The amount of economic and social destruction that could be wreaked upon end users is a game ender! Think about it... There would be armed fucking guards and MX missile silos guarding those servers if it were a nation! FaceBook alone would be the third largest country in the world, if you go by amount of users! Anybody know where any of those servers that Google, FB, Twitter, etc. are??? How much information do you store with any of those companies??? All of you really ought to give it a serious thought! SERIOUSLY!
AND YOU THOUGHT BIG BROTHER WOULD MANIFEST THROUGH GOVERNMENT...
