This is meant to be a diary entry that develops, so expect changes as responses come in.
Google has done a terrible thing by making itself an element of information control by the Chinese dictatorship. What can and should we do?
First, is there an alternative? Assuming Kossacks decided to punish Google in a way that would show up in their numbers, what would happen? How do you show Google your unhappiness? DailyKos is large enough that it should not depend on Google, but will it suffer?
I'm looking for guidance on this question.
