@AceFuzzLord i'm not even sure if the people who are against this is enough to form a revolt. As i stated on one of my comments, most of the users don't care whoever leads the way in technology until it affects them personally.
Then why not fabricate a few lies, like telling some absolute 2nd Amendment defenders that google is trying to impose bans on gun pictures being posted online or tell some extremely right-wing people that google is gonna make sure their news is banned off the internet if either group doesn't join?
Hell, why not get the conspiracy theorist anti-vaxxers on our side by lying and saying that this new thing google is putting out will cripple your mind and make your children autistic through 5G? No offense to these people, but they are definitely the type to fall for these kinds of lies.
A few lies to gather more support to save the internet is nowhere near as bad as these large corporations lying their asses off to take control over us.
