To the bbb on Google

Went to bbb, screwed up the online form, then
couldn't submit it properly as it said:
You already submitted the problem, can't file
again. Well, I am filing here.

To bbb:

Please note I have tried to submit this
complaint yesterday on this matter
incorrectly under privacy:

(Maybe this complaint belongs to a
lawsuit.)

There are two problems with Google, the
company (www.google.com). The first
problem is anticompetitiveness: They
make their product a preferred one over
other newsreaders. Why? Because, they
give no choice but for all people who
use other newsreader products, to
potentially have to deal with Google's
customer services (to resolve any
storage related problems).

Google chose to adapt the archiving of
all usenet messages from a company they
bought called DejaNews. Archiving
creates a lot of privacy and customer
service problems. It should be invalid
what they do, forcing people who did
not sign a service contract with them,
to have to humiliatingly deal with
their customer services. Its what I
would call non-business-competitive
aptitudes and violating consumers'
rights to choose their preferred
newsreader product.

The second problem is that when
DejaNews introducted archiving of all
newsgroup messages in 1995, there were
a lot of privacy concerns raised at
the time by a lot of people for that
new feature. As a result of those
concerns, DejaNews introduced a
feature called X-No-Archive, which
when inserted to the top of a message,
would allow that message not to be
archived. Unfortunately, this was a
tricky solution, which sounds correct
when told, but when used proved to
be nonsense.

The moment people reply to a message,
the contents of the message is usually
copied, and loosed its no archive flag,
so it becomes a 10 percent privacy
solution and not anything near to what
that solution promises by Google and
priorly by DejaNews in practice. Its
a business trick. They got away with
building a Fortune 500 marketing scam
with these lies.

privacy history, see:

I sent it, successfully. We'll see what they say.
