Get on it.

It's not "from the river to the sea, murder all Jews", though, now is it?
Seems a bit of a leap, what you're saying there?

I am answering you. The guy you asked a question to was talking about something that had happened in the past. You then asked a question as though you'd misread it and thought he was saying that it was still happening. He didn't say that, so your question is already answered.

If you read carefully, you will notice that the commenter used the past tense: "had" = simple past tense of the verb "to have".

You're missing the point/s

1. What they're doing is illegal. It has to stop immediately and they have to be held accountable
2. What they're doing is immoral and every barrier we can put up against it is a valid pursuit
3. Restricting Google to data held remotely is a good barrier. They shouldn't be able to help themselves to users local data, and it's something that most people can understand: the data that is physically within your system is yours alone. They would have to get permission from each user to transfer that data, which is right.
4. This legal route commits to personal permissions and is a step to maintaining user data within the country of origin. Far from being a "dead end", it's the foundation and beginnings of a sensible policy on data ownership. This far, no further.

You forgot "fully automatic"

Not op but surely it's acute embarrassment tinged with apprehension, verging on fear. With a bit of exasperation mixed in. It's a hell of a complex emotion to fit into four words.

I love this idea!

• "Kirk, marooned by Khan" - anger in the face of cruelty

• "Montgomery in the presence of whales" - wonderment at majestic beauty

• "Pine, his visions" - a sense of foreboding doom

• "Locutus, released" - rocky recovery after a severe illness

• "Riker's trombone" - an instrument or tool, improperly used

• "Spock, untethered" - when you've been biting your lip for a long time but finally snap

• "Tuvok, his eyebrow raised" - restraint

• "Odo, when the Great Link was sick " - making a sacrifice for the good of the many, especially if they are your enemies

I could literally do this all day but have to get back to work

Same. I've got thousands of hours in Skyrim. It's my favourite game of all time. But I'm more into sci fi than fantasy generally and Starfield is shaping up to be everything I would've asked for. It's taken over my life and I have no regrets. Bethesda smashed it again.
