<div>=='''Replacements, Alternatives to Google Products and Services'''==<br />
<br />
Google’s products (e.g. the Android operating system) and services (search engine, YouTube, Google Mail, etc.) aggregate user data on a massive scale. This data is used to present users with a personalized experience, or in other words, a filter bubble of search results and targeted advertising. There is an obvious potential for abuse, but it’s more subtle than that.<br />
<br />
This “filter bubble” not only exploits our tastes, experiences, behaviours, biases and turn them into revenue, it also blocks everyone from having some "neutral" (or common) vision of what exists over the internet, therefore reinforcing biases and polarizations. Furthermore, it manipulates people into habitual use of their products. Just try to observe yourself when you are bored or depressed: Can you resist the compulsion to visit YouTube for that instant reward?<br />
<br />
This opaque capacity to influence what people may or may not see (besides the anti-competitive behaviour it represents when the same company owns the advertisement market) is overall an immense political power we cannot tolerate nor let unaccounted for. It silently puts Google and other companies above the law. Remember: Any profit-oriented business is only as lawful and ethical as it needs to be in order to avoid prosecution. It’s a calculated risk. The line needs to be drawn by us, the consumers.<br />
<br />
The fact that it is hard for most people to escape Google’s grasp itself is worrying. Hence, this page is used to gather alternatives to Google products and services which respect user privacy.<br />
<br />
''It is though dangerous to think in terms of "alternatives", like the goal was to reach equivalence to what Google offers (and risk to always lag behind). In reality what we want is *better* services than the ones of Google, because they would rest on *better* principles, such as decentralization/distribution of services, end-to-end encryption, uncompromising free/libre software, etc.''<br />
<br />
While presenting these "alternatives" or "replacements" here, we must keep in mind that the true goal is to achieve proper distribution/decentralization of information and communication, and empower people to understand and control where their information goes.<br />

A more generic guide about privacy and tools: https://www.privacytools.io/<br />
<br />
== Self-hosting ==<br />
<br />
Self-hosting (running one's own services on one own's server) may be the ''one-and-only'' way -on a political and on a technological perspective- to get rid of centralized services and some other potential sources of eavesdropping. Self-hosting is not accessible to everyone, as it requires some resources and experience to set-up (yet everyone has a potential to start learning it). Yet, pretty much the same way you do not have to learn to become a farmer before getting fruits and vegetables grown in a fair and respectful way, self-hosting is often practiced in a mutualized way: to the scale of a bunch of friends, of a collective, a company, a university, a city... or a neighborhood?<br />
<br />
An '''amazing''' list of free/libre software for self-hosting: https://github.com/Kickball/awesome-selfhosted/blob/master/README.md<br />
<br />
==Search Engines==<br />
<br />
===[https://searx.info searx]===<br />
<br />
Meta-search engine, free/libre software. Just one instance of many: https://search.fuckoffgoogle.net (also https://searx.dk https://search.disroot.org etc.) Full list of instances: https://github.com/asciimoo/searx/wiki/Searx-instances<br />
<br />
===[https://www.duckduckgo.com DuckDuckGo]===<br />
<br />
Centralized, US company.<br />
<br />
===[https://www.metager.de MetaGer]===<br />
<br />
Open source, privacy-focused search run by a non-profit NGO.<br />
<br />
==Email Providers==<br />
<br />
===[https://posteo.de posteo.de]=== <br />
Very good email provider. 1 Euro per month, no spam, no bullshit, just email. Posteo is based in Berlin and has a political agenda in regards to privacy protection. So they have encrypted servers and so on. <br />
===[https://mailbox.org mailbox.org]===<br />
Very good email provider. 1 Euro per month, no spam, no bullshit, just email. Mailbox is based in Germany and has a political agenda in regards to privacy protection. So they have encrypted servers and so on.<br />
===[https://protonmail.com protonmail.com]===<br />
End-to-end encrypted email based in Switzerland. No logging. Complete anonymity. Open source and funded by the community, not ads. The free account offers 500MB storage and 150 emails per day. Paid plans are also available.<br />
===[https://riseup.net/en/email riseup.net]===<br />
Full disk encryption, personally encrypted email storage and many more fantastic features. Donate as you see fit for usage and apply for an account. High quality provider.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Mobile Operating Systems==<br />
<br />
<b>Wichever OS you choose to install, don't install GAPPS!</b><br />
------------------------------------<br />
===[https://lineageos.org/ LineageOS]===<br />
The most popular community distribution of Google's Android operating system. Using Lineage, it is possible to have a fully-functional android phone without all of the integration with google services that android ordinarily entails. Many LineageOS users choose to install things that will interact with Google services, but it is not necessary to do so.<br />
<br />
===[https://replicant.us Replicant]===<br />
Android without any proprietary crap. Replicant is similar to Lineage in that it is a distribution of Android, but has a much stronger dedication to the principles of free (libre) software. In practice, this means that it doesn't work on nearly as many device models and that some drivers are missing (GPU, Wifi, Bluetooth, etc.). It is an interesting project to help demonstrate how much Android relies on proprietary software to function, to debunk Google's myth that "Android is Free/libre software". '''Please note, you can order Replicant ready phones, shipped to anywhere, from the brilliant [https://resist.berlin/ Resist.Berlin].'''<br />
<br />
===[https://sailfishos.org/ Sailfish OS]===<br />
Partially open source, developed by Finnish company Jolla and the Sailfish OS community. Licensed devices come with a (proprietary) Android compatibility layer as a stop-gap solution to the relatively small amount of native apps. Though it contains many proprietary parts, the community has ported the OS to a variety of existing devices beyond those sold by Jolla.<br />
<br />
=== Near-future developments ===<br />
<br />
[https://puri.sm/shop/librem-5/ PureOS] — Privacy-focused operating system and mobile phone currently in development. Several choices for UI and software. Phone will have a CPU that is separated from the baseband processor, and will have hardware kill switches for radios, microphone, camera, etc.<br />
<br />
[https://www.postmarketos.org/ postmarketOS] (pmOS), is a touch-optimized, pre-configured Alpine Linux that can be installed on smartphones and other mobile devices. The project is at very early stages of development and is not usable for most people yet, but it does have initial support for many different devices and seems to have considerable development momentum. They are "aiming for a 10 year life-cycle for smartphones".<br />
<br />
== Mobile Apps ==<br />
<br />
=== [https://f-droid.org/ F-droid] ===<br />
F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device.<br />
It can be used to replace Google Play store.<br />
<br />
=== [https://osmand.net/downloads OsmAnd~] ===<br />
Better Alternative to google maps. <br />
Global Mobile Map Viewing and Navigation for Online and Offline OSM Maps<br />
<br />
=== [https://www.davdroid.com/ DAVdroid] ===<br />
Sync your contacts, calendars and tasks<br />
<br />
==Maps and Navigation==<br />
<br />
===[https://www.openstreetmap.org OpenStreetMap]===<br />
It's just so much better than Google Maps! You can edit the map yourself and add roads, houses or stores. Whatever you find relevant.<br />
<br />
For comparison to Google Maps: http://tools.geofabrik.de/mc/<br />
<br />
For routing: https://graphhopper.com/maps/<br />
<br />
Download OpenStreetMap-Data: http://download.geofabrik.de/<br />
<br />
Integrate OpenStreetMap in your website (Wordpress): https://wordpress.org/plugins/osm/<br />
<br />
===Arguments===<br />
<br />
Giving Google a list of all the places you go not only help them profile your income and your habits, but it also enables them to target advertisement to you (according to where you may go) or predict your next moves. These data are invaluable for instance for insurance or transport companies to whom google may sell them. Geolocation data stored in Google servers, could potentially be used to incriminate people (you *were* at this protest, weren't you? You were not sick at home that day? etc.)<br />
<br />
OpenStreetMap is entirely non-profit and contributive. With it people can (re)appropriate the map and the territory, and invent new uses for it (like disaster recovery in Haïti that abundantly used OSM). Inhabitants of small, isolated places can together get to much better cartography than what is of Google's financial interests. Data from OSM can be reused in each and every possible way, with no licensing conditions subjected to further changes.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Docs and Sheets==<br />
<br />
===[https://etherpad.org Etherpad]===<br />
For collaborative text editing.<br />
<br />
===[https://mailbox.org/ihr-office/ Mailbox Office]===<br />
If you have your email account at mailbox, you also have a browser based office suite included.<br />
<br />
===[https://www.rollapp.com/libreoffice LibreOffice Online]===<br />
Use LibreOffice on the website directly.<br />
<br />
===[https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Using_Remote_Files_1/pl LibreOffice (offline)]===<br />
The installed program LibreOffice can open and save documents directly from servers (ssh, ftp), WebDAV and so on.<br />
<br />
===[https://www.collaboraoffice.com/code/ Collabora Online]===<br />
Run an online office suite on your own server.<br />
<br />
===Arguments===<br />
<br />
Using Google's sheets and docs for your organizing is literally storing all your data with them complete with edit history of all collaborators.<br />
<br />
==Browser==<br />
===[https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ Firefox]===<br />
<br />
<br />
===Helpful Browser-Plugins for Firefox===<br />
<br />
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/privacy-badger17/ Privacy Badger]''': <br />
It prevents cookies and trackers that spy on your browsing behaviour. You can choose which trackers are allowed to track you and which ones are not. For example, it is recommended to deactivate all Trackers by Google (e.G. Google Analytics) and by Facebook (share buttons and so on)<br />
<br />
'''[https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere HTTPS Everywhere]''':<br />
<br />
'''[https://www.ublock.org/ uBlock Origin]''':<br />
<br />
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/user-agent-switcher/ User Agent Switcher]''': <br />
This Addon will fake your browser randomly. So after a few minutes it switches browser and operating system. At least it seams like that for websites you are presently surfing on. This makes it very hard for websites to track you according the information you give them in connection to your browser and your operating system.<br />
<br />
===Arguments===<br />
<br />
Google's business model is based on selling YOUR personal and private data. It's called data mining and is a malicious business model!<br />
<br />
The Chrome Browser has several tracking functionalities that spy on user browsing behaviour:<br />
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome#User_tracking<br />
<br />
Google also connects data generated from the Google browser with other personal data it has gathered with other Google services.<br />
<br />
Yet, Firefox is *far* from being perfect: Firefox without extensions is as vulnerable to data-harvesting as any other browser. Management of cookies is really cumbersome, and they are accepted by default. Also by default are accepted ads, cross-site scripting and all these features of "modern" web that makes tracking easy. + Mozilla boasts about defending people's privacy when in reality they didn't do much to change anything about this (Isn't Google even still their default search engine, after years of collecting their money?), as for their implicit acceptance of DRM in HTML5...<br />
<br />
==News==<br />
<br />
===[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events Wikipedia Current Events]===<br />
Displays the day's headlines and gives both source links and Wikipedia articles for context. It is hand-curated rather than automatic, which means it's quite low volume.<br />
<br />
===[https://newstral.com/ Newstral]===<br />
Very similar to Google News. It is a news search engine with a homepage that displays the most viewed content by topic and person mentioned. You can pin searches to the top of your dashboard without needing to sign up for an account. Available in German, Spanish, Dutch, and English.<br />
<br />
===[http://www.freshnews.org/ Freshnews]===<br />
A customizable dashboard of tech news headlines, organized by outlet. With an account, you can choose which sources are omitted from the dashboard, and blacklist keywords.<br />
<br />
===[https://legiblenews.com/ Legible News]===<br />
Scrapes the Wikipedia current events portal for new links, and displays them on the site.<br />
<br />
===[https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/news Nextcloud]===<br />
Has news RSS app you can self-host to build your own Google News alternative.<br />
<br />
==Alerts==<br />
<br />
===[https://github.com/huginn/huginn Huginn]===<br />
A hackable version of Zapier/IFTTT that can be connected to APIs like DuckDuckGo and Twitter to listen for a keyword and send you alerts when that keyword is mentioned on the platform. [Here https://blog.andrewcantino.com/blog/2014/03/17/know-when-the-world-changes-with-huginn/] is a guide on setting up a self-hosted alert monitor with the tool.<br />
<br />
===[https://www.talkwalker.com/alerts Talkwalker Alerts]===<br />
A free alternative to Google Alerts which tracks mentions of a keyword across news sites, blogs, and social media, and sends you an email digest of the mentions. Good for passively tracking a company's activity, like Google! The [https://www.talkwalker.com/privacy-policy privacy policy] shows that your data could be shared with third parties if you connect external services to the platform, but this only applies to other Talkwalker products; Talkwalker Alerts is a standalone service. The ethics of the company aren't ideal, but it is at least not Google. You can feed the alerts into your RSS reader rather than email, too.<br />
<br />
===[https://tt-rss.org/ Tiny Tiny RSS]=== <br />
A self-hosted feed aggregator which is [https://tt-rss.org/oldforum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2892 theoretically extensible] to listen for keywords within your added feeds. Possible to hack together your own version of Google Alerts by adding a lot of active feeds and writing your own plugin. Will take work, not ideal. <br />
<br />
==Translation==<br />
<br />
===[https://deepl.com/translator Deepl translator]===<br />
Works MUCH better than Google Translate, and is accessible via Tor.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Google Earth==<br />
===[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marble_(software) Marble]===<br />
A globe like Google Earth but with multiple maps you can choose from. For example historic maps, OpenStreetMap. You can even change the globe to moon or Venus or other planets. Great piece of software!<br />
<br />
===Arguments===<br />
- Google Earth is a closed source software<br />
<br />
- Google Earth collects data about what people search and combines this information with the general personal-data-database<br />
<br />
<br />
==Social Network==<br />
Google+ is a social network by Google. It is a competitor to Facebook or LinkedIn. All of these services make money from personal user data.<br />
<br />
===[https://podupti.me/ Diaspora]===<br />
A decentralized social network. Open Source. Works perfectly. Compatible with Friendica.<br />
<br />
===[https://dir.friendica.social/servers Friendica]===<br />
A decentralized social network. Open Source. Works perfectly. Compatible with Diaspora.<br />
<br />
===[https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Social Gnu-Social]===<br />
A decentralized social network. Open Source. Works perfectly.<br />
<br />
===[https://joinmastodon.org Mastodon]===<br />
A decentralized social network with an active user base spread out over many instances. Open Source. Works perfectly.<br />
<br />
=== [https://project.hubzilla.org/page/hubzilla/hubzilla-project Hubzilla] ===<br />
Hubzilla is a powerful platform for creating interconnected websites featuring a decentralized identity, communications, and permissions framework built using common webserver technology.<br><br />
It federates with Mastodon, Diaspora, Gnu Social and friendica.</div>Lwmhttps://wiki.fuckoffgoogle.de/index.php?title=Google_Campus_In_Other_Cities&diff=504Google Campus In Other Cities2018-04-08T22:54:09Z<p>Lwm: /* London */</p>

<div>== How Google & Co are a threat to Democracy ==<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
Google was caught red-handed participating in NSA’s surveillance, which is both illegal under the U.S. constitutional framework(*), and conducive to a totalitarian world where self-censorship under one all-seeing eye prevents alternative futures from flourishing from collaborative creative efforts of individuals.<br />
<br />
Google’s business model of collecting all data and profiling everyone has set the trend towards generalized practices of mass-surveillance, normalized such practices, and punished those who try to evade constant surveillance (by sinking their time in training Google's AI on Google Scholar, for example).<br />
<br />
Our behaviors, our intimate connections, actions and emotions Google is commodifying and profiting from. We are reduced to a resource and stunted in development as persons and communities capable of meaningful choice, in exchange for colorful convenient toys. <br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
(*) Constitutions of democracies worldwide are affected by this general attack on secrecy of correspondence and freedom of assembly in the digital age. In theory, your local government is in charge of protecting your population from outside forces threatening your constitutional democratic order, but our system of jurisprudence is such that you can only punish a government for doing something unlawful, you cannot easily punish it for not doing anything. So it depends on us to take to the streets, make a campaign, start a movement that demands the introduction of laws that technically impede surveillance -- for example by making end-to-end encryption and metadata protection *mandatory* for all digital communications, thus forbidding Google & friends from having access to them.<br />

== NSA PRISM program taps in to user data of Apple, Google and others ==<br />
<br />
PRISM integrates corporate cloud systems into XKEYSCORE, the NSA search engine encompassing all private data of digital humanity, including access to the Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, Skype, Yahoo, Youtube and other PRISM partners. According to leaked slides it has access to e-mail, chat, photos, videos, stored data, file transfers, login activity, social networking ("personal details", "pattern of life", "connections to associates"), telephony (both on and off the Internet) and video conferencing. Passwords are used as a way to identify multiple accounts of the same person, as people frequently use the same password across platforms even when varying usernames.<br />

== Google, not GCHQ, is the truly chilling spy network - The Guardian, John Naughton ==<br />
<br />
<blockquote>"how the United States intelligence community funded, nurtured and incubated Google as part of a drive to dominate the world through control of information. Seed-funded by the NSA and CIA, Google was merely the first among a plethora of private sector start-ups co-opted by US intelligence to retain ‘information superiority.’"</blockquote><br />

== How American government got a grip on digital technology ==<br />
<br />
Up into the 80's, all of the technological world attempted its own designs of computers and operating systems, but during the 90's the USA has established a worldwide dominance in operating systems from Microsoft Windows and MacOS to today's Apple iOS and Google Android. While predicating the principles of free market and deregulation to the rest of the world, the US was silently adamant in actually subsidizing technological start-ups well enough to kick other nations out of business.<br />
<br />

<br />
Oracle, the market leader in database technology that produced one of the richest people on the planet, was named after a CIA program.<br />
<br />
* http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/profit/p27anniv-timeline-151918.pdf<br />
<br />
The NSA has been collecting more or less all e-mails, phone calls and SMS text messages since the creation of the Internet. In 1995, as the Internet started becoming popular, the US government made a strategic decision to keep total control of digital networking.<br />
<br />
* https://medium.com/insurge-intelligence/how-the-cia-made-google-e836451a959e<br />
<br />
"The US was the major player in shaping today's Internet. This resulted in pervasive exportation of American culture as well as technology. It also resulted in a lot of money being made by US entities."<br />
<br />
* http://hbpub.vo.llnwd.net/o16/video/olmk/holt/greenwald/NoPlaceToHide-Documents-Uncompressed.pdf<br />
<br />
It is then that the CIA financed the research of some Stanford students regarding the PageRank algorithm, essentially funding the creation of Google. With such powerful ability to find needles in the haystack of the web, the secret services also wanted such a tool for all of the e-mails and text messages. Journalist Nafeez Ahmed has researched, how Google empowered the NSA to become the gigantic beast it is today.<br />
<br />
* https://medium.com/insurge-intelligence/why-google-made-the-nsa-2a80584c9c1<br />
<br />
It is no surprise that Silicon Valley companies have<br />
a long tradition of friendly collaboration with the<br />
secret services that are among their best customers.<br />
<br />
* https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2013-06-14/u-s-agencies-said-to-swap-data-with-thousands-of-firms<br />
<br />
The impressive effectiveness of the PRISM program is<br />
a result of that, but there are earlier cases like<br />
IBM allowing the NSA to have a backdoor in Lotus<br />
Notes in 1999 or Microsoft being caught with the mysterious _NSAKEY.<br />

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSAKEY<br />
<br />
In rare cases, when technologies arise out of the control of the US government, an American company quickly acquires such technology. Skype originally provided video telephony that the secret services were unable to decrypt. So, eBay bought Skype from the Estonians even though it never really had a business model for it. This way Skype became an American company, and got integrated into NSA's PRISM surveillance program.<br />

<br />
<blockquote><br />
Since the beginning of 2017, Android phones have been collecting the addresses of nearby cellular towers—even when location services are disabled—and sending that data back to Google. The result is that Google, the unit of Alphabet behind Android, has access to data about individuals’ locations and their movements that go far beyond a reasonable consumer expectation of privacy.<br />

From the Wikipedia page[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surveillance_capitalism]:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>Surveillance capitalism is a term used and popularized by academic Shoshana Zuboff that denotes a new genus of capitalism that monetizes data acquired through surveillance. According to Zuboff, surveillance capitalism emerged due to the "coupling of the vast powers of the digital with the radical indifference and intrinsic narcissism of the financial capitalism and its neoliberal vision that have dominated commerce for at least three decades, especially in the Anglo economies" and depends on the global architecture of computer mediation which produces a distributed and largely uncontested new expression of power she calls 'Big Other'. '''She states it was first discovered and consolidated at Google''', being to surveillance capitalism what Ford and General Motors were to mass-production and managerial capitalism a century ago, and later adopted by Facebook and others and that it uses illegible mechanisms of extraction, commodification, and control of behavior to produce new markets of behavioral prediction and modification.</blockquote><br />

<div>== How Google & Co are a threat to Democracy ==<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
Google was caught red-handed participating in NSA’s surveillance, which is both illegal under the U.S. constitutional framework(*), and conducive to a totalitarian world where self-censorship under one all-seeing eye prevents alternative futures from flourishing from collaborative creative efforts of individuals.<br />
<br />
Google’s business model of collecting all data and profiling everyone has set the trend towards generalized practices of mass-surveillance, normalized such practices, and punished those who try to evade constant surveillance (by sinking their time in training Google's AI on Google Scholar, for example).<br />
<br />
Our behaviors, our intimate connections, actions and emotions Google is commodifying and profiting from. We are reduced to a resource and stunted in development as persons and communities capable of meaningful choice, in exchange for colorful convenient toys. <br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
(*) Constitutions of democracies worldwide are affected by this general attack on secrecy of correspondence and freedom of assembly in the digital age. In theory, your local government is in charge of protecting your population from outside forces threatening your constitutional democratic order, but our system of jurisprudence is such that you can only punish a government for doing something unlawful, you cannot easily punish it for not doing anything. So it depends on us to take to the streets, make a campaign, start a movement that demands the introduction of laws that technically impede surveillance -- for example by making end-to-end encryption and metadata protection *mandatory* for all digital communications, thus forbidding Google & friends from having access to them.<br />

== NSA PRISM program taps in to user data of Apple, Google and others ==<br />
<br />
PRISM integrates corporate cloud systems into XKEYSCORE, the NSA search engine encompassing all private data of digital humanity, including access to the Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, Skype, Yahoo, Youtube and other PRISM partners. According to leaked slides it has access to e-mail, chat, photos, videos, stored data, file transfers, login activity, social networking ("personal details", "pattern of life", "connections to associates"), telephony (both on and off the Internet) and video conferencing. Passwords are used as a way to identify multiple accounts of the same person, as people frequently use the same password across platforms even when varying usernames.<br />

== Google, not GCHQ, is the truly chilling spy network - The Guardian, John Naughton ==<br />
<br />
<blockquote>"how the United States intelligence community funded, nurtured and incubated Google as part of a drive to dominate the world through control of information. Seed-funded by the NSA and CIA, Google was merely the first among a plethora of private sector start-ups co-opted by US intelligence to retain ‘information superiority.’"</blockquote><br />

== How American government got a grip on digital technology ==<br />
<br />
Up into the 80's, all of the technological world attempted its own designs of computers and operating systems, but during the 90's the USA has established a worldwide dominance in operating systems from Microsoft Windows and MacOS to today's Apple iOS and Google Android. While predicating the principles of free market and deregulation to the rest of the world, the US was silently adamant in actually subsidizing technological start-ups well enough to kick other nations out of business.<br />

<br />
Oracle, the market leader in database technology that produced one of the richest people on the planet, was named after a CIA program.<br />
<br />
* http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/profit/p27anniv-timeline-151918.pdf<br />
<br />
The NSA has been collecting more or less all e-mails, phone calls and SMS text messages since the creation of the Internet. In 1995, as the Internet started becoming popular, the US government made a strategic decision to keep total control of digital networking.<br />
<br />
* https://medium.com/insurge-intelligence/how-the-cia-made-google-e836451a959e<br />
<br />
"The US was the major player in shaping today's Internet. This resulted in pervasive exportation of American culture as well as technology. It also resulted in a lot of money being made by US entities."<br />
<br />
* http://hbpub.vo.llnwd.net/o16/video/olmk/holt/greenwald/NoPlaceToHide-Documents-Uncompressed.pdf<br />
<br />
It is then that the CIA financed the research of some Stanford students regarding the PageRank algorithm, essentially funding the creation of Google. With such powerful ability to find needles in the haystack of the web, the secret services also wanted such a tool for all of the e-mails and text messages. Journalist Nafeez Ahmed has researched, how Google empowered the NSA to become the gigantic beast it is today.<br />
<br />
* https://medium.com/insurge-intelligence/why-google-made-the-nsa-2a80584c9c1<br />
<br />
It is no surprise that Silicon Valley companies have<br />
a long tradition of friendly collaboration with the<br />
secret services that are among their best customers.<br />
<br />
* https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2013-06-14/u-s-agencies-said-to-swap-data-with-thousands-of-firms<br />
<br />
The impressive effectiveness of the PRISM program is<br />
a result of that, but there are earlier cases like<br />
IBM allowing the NSA to have a backdoor in Lotus<br />
Notes in 1999 or Microsoft being caught with the mysterious _NSAKEY.<br />
<br />

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSAKEY<br />
<br />
In rare cases, when technologies arise out of the control of the US government, an American company quickly acquires such technology. Skype originally provided video telephony that the secret services were unable to decrypt. So, eBay bought Skype from the Estonians even though it never really had a business model for it. This way Skype became an American company, and got integrated into NSA's PRISM surveillance program.<br />

== Saturday, April 14th - 14:00 - "Google Campus & Co verhindern"- Block at the "WIDERSETZEN" Demo - Potsdamer Platz ==<br />
<br />
'''Join the "Google Campus & Co verhindern" - Block at the "RESIST - Down with evictions and outlandish rental prices" - Demo!'<br />
<br />
'''Kommt in den „Google Campus & Co verhindern“ - Block auf der Demonstration „WIDERSETZEN – Gemeinsam gegen Verdrängung und Mietenwahnsinn“ am Potsdamer Platz!'''<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Google Campus & Co verhindern'''<br />
<br />
Mittlerweile twittern es die Vögel von den Dächern: Die Tech-Industrie kommt nach Berlin und mit ihr prekärere Jobs, Selbstausbeutung und steigende Mieten. Ein Testballon dafür ist der Google Campus in Kreuzberg. Es soll der siebte in der „Campus Family“ werden, zumindest wenn es nach Googles Mutterkonzern Alphabet und dem Berliner Senat geht. Google selbst bewirbt seinen Campus als Ort der Vernetzung, des Mentorings und als Brutstätte großer Ideen für junge UnternehmerInnen und Start-up-People. Dabei behauptet der Konzern, er selbst würde nur die Räumlichkeiten stellen und den Kaffee aufsetzen – mit den explodierenden Mieten und der täglichen Verdrängung soll das nichts zu tun haben.<br />
<br />
'''Vamos a la Player – Google angehen'''<br />
<br />
Aber warum soll man gegen schlechten Kaffee und ausstehenden Burnout einiger JungunternehmerInnen auf die Straße gehen, während Menschen ihr Zuhause verlieren? Es stimmt: Zahlreiche Initiativen und Zusammenschlüsse organisieren sich bereits entlang eigener Wohnbelange, andere skandalisieren behördliche Willkür oder kritisieren die repressive und marktkonforme Umgestaltung des öffentlichen Raumes. All dies zurecht. Viele von ihnen werden wir auf der „Widersetzen“-Demo am 14.4. in Berlin – der Stadt, in der die Mietpreise seit 2008 um 76 Prozent in die Höhe geschnellt sind – treffen. Wenn also der Kapitalismus uns auf so viele Arten das Leben schwermacht, warum dann gerade „Google Campus & Co“ verhindern?<br />

<br />
=== Workshop - in the course of the power-critical and technology-critical fight against the Google campus in Kreuzberg===<br />
<br />
<br />
The (digital) restructuring of domination precludes our desire for<br />
freedom and a self-determined life. Therefore, in this workshop, we want<br />
to look at the individual, social and emotional implications of the<br />
everyday use of new digital technologies.<br />
Who does not like to play? Playing is fun, playing gives us a break from<br />
everyday life. But is our everyday life a game? Why do we need time off,<br />
why in the digital and not in the real world?<br />
<br />
Skills will be acquired in the workshop to recognize repetitive,<br />
addictive, game-like schemes in everyday digital life. Using practical<br />
examples, we will above all analyze hidden game-like offers in the<br />
social networks of Facebook, Google and other apps and their alleged relief.<br />
<br />
We'll briefly introduce you to the history of video games and go into<br />
more detail about the human brain or the human being as a cognitive<br />
entity: how does our brain function in learning, how does operant<br />
conditioning (repetition and reinforcing behavior through trial and<br />
error) work? how games generate short joy and therfore dependencies and<br />
thus limited joy and pain associated with it?<br />
<br />
One goal is to experiment with ways to more clearly recognize the<br />
increasingly encompassing digital domain in order to better escape or<br />
attack them.<br />
This workshop will be hold in english and translated into german!<br />

=== Workshop – im Zuge des herrschafts- und technologiekritischen Kampfes gegen den Google Campus in Kreuzberg ====<br />
<br />
Die (digitale) Restrukturierung der Herrschaft steht unserem Verlangen<br />
<br />
<br />
nach Freiheit und einem selbstbestimmten Leben entgegen. Wir wollen uns<br />
deshalb in diesem Workshop mit den individuellen, sozialen und<br />
emotionalen Auswirkungen durch den alltäglichen Gebrauch der neuen<br />
digitalen Technologien befassen.<br />
<br />
Wer mag nicht spielen? Spielen macht Spaß, spielen gibt uns eine Auszeit<br />
vom Alltag. Jedoch ist unser Alltag ein Spiel? Warum brauchen wir die<br />
Auszeit, warum in der digitalen und nicht in der reellen Welt?<br />
<br />
In dem Workshop sollen Skills erworben werden, um wiederholende,<br />
abhängig machende, spieleähnliche Schemata im digitalen Alltag<br />
wiederzuerkennen. Anhand von praktischen Beispielen werden wir vor allem<br />
versteckte spieleähnliche Angebote in den sozialen Netzwerken von<br />
Facebook, Google und anderen Apps und deren angebliche Erleichterungen<br />
analysieren.<br />
<br />
Dabei werden wir kurz in die Geschichte der Videospiele einführen und<br />
etwas ausführlicher auf das menschliche Gehirn oder den Mensch als<br />
kognitives Wesen eingehen: wie funktioniert unser Gehirn beim Lernen,<br />
wie einfach funktioniert das operante Konditionieren (Wiederholung und<br />
verstärkendes Verhalten durch Versuch und Irrtum), wie sehr generieren<br />
spieleähnliche Anwendungen kurze Freude und damit Abhängigkeiten und<br />
somit begrenzte Freude und damit verbundene Schmerzen?<br />
<br />
Ein Ziel ist es mit Möglichkeiten zu experimentieren, die immer<br />
umgreifendere digitale Herrschaft klarer zu erkennen, um sich besser zu<br />
entziehen oder sie angreifen zu können.<br />
<br />
Bringt euer Spielzeug mit!<br />

<br />
(German below)<br />
<br />
=== The stunting of thought -An event within the framework of the anti-Google fight, which is critical of technology and of domination. ===<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The (digital) restructuring of domination precludes our desire for<br />
freedom and a self-determined life. That's why we want to focus on the<br />
individual, social and emotional impact of everyday use of new digital<br />
technologies (eg smartphones, apps, etc.). How can games-like methods<br />
(gamification) fool you into making everyday life easier and at the same<br />
time let self-thinking, craft and social skills stunt? How important are<br />
the real non-virtual experiences for our lives, for our feelings and our<br />
experiences? How alienated are personal feelings, dreams and experiences<br />
that are minutely portrayed in digital life - or how does emotional<br />
pornography work? As a counter concept a hackerdidactic is presented.<br />
This concept is for digital self-defense. It should not be about an<br />
application of technology, but rather about exposing our personal<br />
behaviors. Our approach begins with our own vulnerability and the<br />
emotions involved. So how do we encounter the degeneration of our<br />
thinking, our feelings and our self-determined life?<br />
this event will beheld in english with german translation.<br />

=== Die Verkümmerung des Denkens- Eine Veranstaltung im Rahmen des technologie- und herrschaftskritischen Anti-Google-Kampfes.===<br />
<br />
Die (digitale) Restrukturierung der Herrschaft steht unserem Verlangen<br />
nach Freiheit und einem selbstbestimmten Leben entgegen. Wir wollen uns<br />
deshalb in dieser Veranstaltung mit den individuellen, sozialen und<br />
emotionalen Auswirkungen durch den alltäglichen Gebrauch der neuen<br />
digitalen Technologien (z.b. Smartphones, Apps etc.) befassen. Wie<br />
können spieleähnliche Methoden (Gamification) vorgaukeln den Alltag zu<br />
erleichtern und gleichzeitig das Selbstdenken, handwerklichen und<br />
soziale Fähigkeiten verkümmern lassen? Wie wichtig sind die reellen<br />
nicht-virtuellen Erfahrungen für unser Leben, für unsere Gefühle und<br />
unserem Erleben? Wie entfremdet sind persönliche Gefühle, Träume und<br />
Erlebnisse, die im digitalen Alltag minutiös dargestellt werden - oder<br />
<br />
wie funktioniert emotionale Pornographie? Als Gegenkonzept wird eine<br />
Hackerdidaktik vorgestellt. Dieses Konzept dient der digitalen<br />
Selbstverteidigung. Dabei soll es nicht um eine Anwendung der Technik<br />
gehen, sondern vielmehr um das Herausstellen unserer persönlichen<br />
Verhaltensweisen. Unser Ansatz beginnt mit unser eigenen Verletzlichkeit<br />
und den damit verbundenen Emotionen. Wie also begegnen wir der<br />
Verkümmerung unseres Denkens, unser Gefühle und unseres selbstbestimmten<br />
Lebens?<br />

‘Es ist ein guter Tag für Berlin’, war die Reaktion der regierenden Bürgermeisters Michael Müller auf die Ankündigung zur Eröffnung des Google Campus in Berlin. Der siebte in der Campus Familie soll er werden, doch Google selbst, deren HQ sich in Mitte befindet, möchte dort jenseits des Namens nicht allzu präsent sein, außer durch die Bereitstellung von Kaffee und WiFi. Stattdessen sollen sich dort Start-Ups einmieten, vernetzen und arbeiten, vereint und geteilt in der Hoffnung eines Tages von Google gekauft zu werden.<br />
Generell boomt die Berliner Start-Up Szene. Es lockt ein internationales Team, Aufstiegsmöglichkeiten sowie Beer-Friday und gemeinsames Planking in der Mittagspause, so dass der Arbeitsplatz ‘Start-Up’ für viele als verheißungsvoll erscheint. Doch hinter den riesigen Glasfenstern der Co-Working Spaces wartet oftmals Prekarität und stupide Selbstausbeutung. Permanenter Enthusiasmus für das Team und das Projekt werden erwartet, bei zumeist niedrigen Löhnen, vor allem für Frauen, aber hochtrabenden Titeln. Wer legt sich schon mit dem Chef an, wenn man regelmäßig gemeinsam trinken geht. Die Lage der arbeitenden Klasse in Berlins Start-Ups und wie sie sich zur Wehr setzen kann, wollen wir gemeinsam diskutieren.<br />
<br />
Mathilde Ramadier ist Autorin und Übersetzerin und hat sich einige Berlin Start-Ups angetan. Über ihre Erfahrungen hat sie 2017 das Buch ‘Bienvenue dans la nouveau monde’ veröffentlicht.<br />

The Start-Up Scene in Berlin is on the rise and working in a Start-Up sounds promising to many. But what is actually lurking behind the facade of the co-working spaces? With the opening of the Google Campus ahead of us we want to talk about the actual working conditions and experiences in Berlins Start-Ups and how to organise and fight collectively. With Mathilde Ramadier, who released 'Bienvenue dans la nouveau monde' about her experiences working in different Start-Ups and Stefania Animento who an active member of the Berlin Migrant Strikers.<br />

<br />
Demonstration: Fight Google Campus & Co<br />
<br />
This year in spring or summer, Google plans to open its „Berlin Campus“ in the premises of the former Umspannwerk on Ohlauerstraße / Paul-Linke-Ufer. According to Google, this campus will be a place for start-ups to network and exchange. Google’s basic idea for establishing the Campus is to be the first one to spot those concepts that are promising to be the most profitable ones and to win the attracted founders for their company on the long run.<br />
<br />
There already exist six other “Google Startup Campus”, e.g. in Sao Paulo and in Seoul. The neighborhoods close to them soon experienced their impacts. In London for example commercial rents doubled within the first two years. However, we do not just critisize that gentrification is boosted by tech-companies like Google. As one of the biggest companies in the world, it also plays an<br />
important role for the technological attack. Its main task is collecting and selling data. Data may be the most valuable resource in today’s capitalist economy. The huge amounts of digital data are stored indefinitely – even after e.g a Gmail<br />
account.The majority of them are created by using one of the many Google products like the Google search engine (market share 90% in Europe), Google Maps, YouTube, Google Chrome, Google Books or the Android smartphone operating system. With the<br />
help of (self-learning) algorithms, mass data that appears to be irrelevant at the first sight will sooner or later be processed e. g. be used for well placed personalised (electoral) advertisement. Furthermore, the company works together with the military, secret services and other state institutions. With „big data“ it has become theoretically possible to analyse social developments. With this possibilty social movements could be fought even before they even exist.<br />
With the development of artificial intelligence and the ideology of transhumanism, tech-companies want to adjust humans to machines up to there fusion.<br />
Everyone can easily imagine what all this means: The systems power structures will<br />
be stabilized and strengthened and exploitation will be optimised.<br />
<br />
We think that our resistance against the technological attack symbolized by the Google Campus is important to fight for a better life for<br />
everybody – in Kreuzberg and worldwide. In Kreuzberg there is not only Google but many other tech-companies that push<br />
gentrification and technologistion of work forward.<br />
<br />
Our demonstration will pass by at view of the masses of premises of tech-companies that are already existing in Kreuzberg 36 and you will learn more about them. But resisting places and initiatives, e. g. DeliverUnion, should become a part of the demonstration. Opposition against companies like Google is possible – as, among others, the resistance against „Google Glass“, which led to its failed market<br />
launch, has shown.<br />
<br />
Let`s show together that Google, but also other actors like Zalando, Deliveroo, RocketInternet etc. are not welcome – neither in Kreuzberg nor everywhere!<br />
<br />
A nice life for everybody!<br />
<br />

Deutscher Aufruf<br />
<br />
Kiezspaziergang am 03.03.2018 um 15 Uhr am Schlesischen Tor<br />
<br />
unter Stuff findet ihr Mobimaterial dazu…<br />
<br />
Im Frühling oder Sommer diesen Jahres plant Google die Eröffnung des “Campus Berlin” im alten Umspannwerk in der Ohlauerstraße/ Ecke Paul-Linke-Ufer. Dieser Campus soll laut Google ein Ort der Vernetzung und des Austausch für Startups sein. Grundgedanke<br />
ist, dass Google so die profitversprechendsten Konzepte als erstes erkennt und so die mit kostenlosen Weiterbildungsangeboten angelockten Gründer ans eigene Unternehmen bindet.<br />
<br />
Weltweit gibt es bereits sechs “Google Startup Campus”, unter anderem in Sao Paulo und in Seoul. Deren Auswirkungen sind in der Nachbarschaft meist schnell zu spüren. So verdoppelten sich beispielsweise in London die Gewerbemieten um den Standort innerhalb der ersten zwei Jahre.<br />
Doch unsere Kritik bezieht sich nicht nur auf die Gentrifizierung, die durch Tech-Firmen wie Google angekurbelt wird. Im technologischen Angriff spielt Google als einer der größten Konzerne der Welt eine wichtige Rolle. Er hat als Hauptinteresse das Sammeln und Verkaufen von Daten. Denn Daten sind in der Ökonomie des heutigen Kapitalismus vielleicht das wertvollste Gut.<br />
Die enormen Massen an digitalen Daten, die zum Großteil auch durch das Benutzen der vielen Google Produkte wie der Google Suchmaschine (Marktanteil in Europa von 90%), Google Maps, YouTube, Google Chrome, Google Books oder Android als Smartphone-Betriebssystem entstehen, werden auf unbestimmte Zeit gespeichert – auch weiterhin nach dem Löschen eines Gmail-Kontos beispielsweise. Mit Hilfe von (selbstlernenden) Algorithmen werden früher oder später auch die auf den ersten Blick unwichtig erscheinenden Massendaten verarbeitet und z.B. für gut platzierte personalisierte (Wahl-) Werbung genutzt. Zudem arbeitet der Konzern mit Militär, Geheimdiensten sowie anderen staatlichen Institutionen zusammen. Es ist durch „Big-Data“ theoretisch möglich geworden gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen zu analysieren. So könnten soziale Bewegungen bekämpft werden noch bevor sie überhaupt<br />
entstehen. Mit Entwicklung von künstlicher Intelligenz und der Ideologie des Transhumanismus forcieren Tech-Konzerne die Anpassung des Menschen an die Maschine, bis hin zu deren Verschmelzung.<br />
Was das Alles bedeutet kann mensch sich leicht vorstellen: Herschafftsverhältnisse werden verschärft und stabilisiert und Ausbeutung wird optimert.<br />
<br />
Wir halten den Widerstand gegen den technologischen Angriff am Beispiel des Google-Campus für wichtig um für ein besseres Leben für alle zu kämpfen – in Kreuzberg und weltweit. In Kreuzberg gibt es aber nicht nur Google sondern auch viele andere Tech-Unternehmen, die die Gentrifizierung und oder auch die Technologisierung der Arbeitswelt vorantreiben.<br />
<br />
Beim Kiezspaziergang werden wir bei einige Tech-Unternehmen vorbeigehen, die es in Kreuzberg 36 bereits massenhaft gibt und ihr werdet mehr über diese Firmen erfahren. Doch auch widerständige Orte und Initiativen, wie z.B. DeliverUnion, sollen Teil des Spaziergangs werden. Denn Widerstand gegen Firmen wie Google ist möglich – wie unter anderem die Verhinderung der Einführung von “Google Glasses” gezeigt hat.<br />
<br />
Lasst uns gemeinsam zeigen, dass Google, aber auch andere Akteure wie Zalando, Deliveroo, RocketInternet etc. nicht willkommen sind – in Kreuzberg und überall!<br />
<br />
Ein schönes Leben für Alle!<br />

A collection of films, media excerpts, archival photos and a public forum all mixed together to help give an overview and develop effective strategies for protecting our communities against the accelerating neo-liberal agendas, neo-tech-colonialism, gentrification, inequalities and displacement. A “Google Campus” is planned to open in Kreuzberg in 2018, at the Umspannwerk on the Paul-Linke Ufer, in a district which is still a drum-beating heart of (multi-)cultural resistance for life + livelihoods in the thriving autonomous zones of Berlin. We’ll have special guests from San Francisco to share their experience organizing direct actions in the midst of the tech industries boom in neighborhoods like The Mission District. And perspectives on the local Kiez initiatives now mobilizing a diversity of tactics to stop the tech titan(s) from invading our city and disrupting our own visions for another possible urban eco-system and better decentralized tech infrastructures.<br />
<br />
Special guests will include filmmaker David Martinez ( 500 Miles To Babylon ) and activist Fred Sherburn-Zimmer ( Housing Rights Committee of San Francisco ), Sergey Schmidt and others to represent the local Berlin initiatives.<br />

<br />
At the beginning of next year, Google plans to open its seventh Google Campus worldwide at the Ohlauer Strasse substation.<br />
<br />
Google is not an innocent actor who only moves to Kreuzberg by chance. The company chose the substation because the neighbourhood was discovered as a resource for the tech industry: after the exploitation and transformation of the liberal San Francisco, it is now the turn of liberal Kreuzberg. This development is in its infancy, and it will affect all those who are still living here, but who cannot or do not want to participate in this transformation. That's why we protest against the move-in of Google.<br />

== Saturday, April 14th - 14:00 - "Google Campus & Co verhindern"- Block at the "WIDERSETZEN" Demo - Potsdamer Platz ==<br />
<br />
'''Join the "Google Campus & Co verhindern" - Block at the "RESIST - Down with evictions and outlandish rental prices" - Demo!'<br />
<br />
'''Kommt in den „Google Campus & Co verhindern“ - Block auf der Demonstration „WIDERSETZEN – Gemeinsam gegen Verdrängung und Mietenwahnsinn“ am Potsdamer Platz!'''<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Google Campus & Co verhindern'''<br />
<br />
Mittlerweile twittern es die Vögel von den Dächern: Die Tech-Industrie kommt nach Berlin und mit ihr prekärere Jobs, Selbstausbeutung und steigende Mieten. Ein Testballon dafür ist der Google Campus in Kreuzberg. Es soll der siebte in der „Campus Family“ werden, zumindest wenn es nach Googles Mutterkonzern Alphabet und dem Berliner Senat geht. Google selbst bewirbt seinen Campus als Ort der Vernetzung, des Mentorings und als Brutstätte großer Ideen für junge UnternehmerInnen und Start-up-People. Dabei behauptet der Konzern, er selbst würde nur die Räumlichkeiten stellen und den Kaffee aufsetzen – mit den explodierenden Mieten und der täglichen Verdrängung soll das nichts zu tun haben.<br />
<br />
'''Vamos a la Player – Google angehen'''<br />
<br />
Aber warum soll man gegen schlechten Kaffee und ausstehenden Burnout einiger JungunternehmerInnen auf die Straße gehen, während Menschen ihr Zuhause verlieren? Es stimmt: Zahlreiche Initiativen und Zusammenschlüsse organisieren sich bereits entlang eigener Wohnbelange, andere skandalisieren behördliche Willkür oder kritisieren die repressive und marktkonforme Umgestaltung des öffentlichen Raumes. All dies zurecht. Viele von ihnen werden wir auf der „Widersetzen“-Demo am 14.4. in Berlin – der Stadt, in der die Mietpreise seit 2008 um 76 Prozent in die Höhe geschnellt sind – treffen. Wenn also der Kapitalismus uns auf so viele Arten das Leben schwermacht, warum dann gerade „Google Campus & Co“ verhindern?<br />

<br />
=== Workshop - in the course of the power-critical and technology-critical fight against the Google campus in Kreuzberg===<br />
<br />
<br />
The (digital) restructuring of domination precludes our desire for<br />
freedom and a self-determined life. Therefore, in this workshop, we want<br />
to look at the individual, social and emotional implications of the<br />
everyday use of new digital technologies.<br />
Who does not like to play? Playing is fun, playing gives us a break from<br />
everyday life. But is our everyday life a game? Why do we need time off,<br />
why in the digital and not in the real world?<br />
<br />
Skills will be acquired in the workshop to recognize repetitive,<br />
addictive, game-like schemes in everyday digital life. Using practical<br />
examples, we will above all analyze hidden game-like offers in the<br />
social networks of Facebook, Google and other apps and their alleged relief.<br />
<br />
We'll briefly introduce you to the history of video games and go into<br />
more detail about the human brain or the human being as a cognitive<br />
entity: how does our brain function in learning, how does operant<br />
conditioning (repetition and reinforcing behavior through trial and<br />
error) work? how games generate short joy and therfore dependencies and<br />
thus limited joy and pain associated with it?<br />
<br />
One goal is to experiment with ways to more clearly recognize the<br />
increasingly encompassing digital domain in order to better escape or<br />
attack them.<br />
This workshop will be hold in english and translated into german!<br />

=== Workshop – im Zuge des herrschafts- und technologiekritischen Kampfes gegen den Google Campus in Kreuzberg ====<br />
<br />
Die (digitale) Restrukturierung der Herrschaft steht unserem Verlangen<br />
<br />
<br />
nach Freiheit und einem selbstbestimmten Leben entgegen. Wir wollen uns<br />
deshalb in diesem Workshop mit den individuellen, sozialen und<br />
emotionalen Auswirkungen durch den alltäglichen Gebrauch der neuen<br />
digitalen Technologien befassen.<br />
<br />
Wer mag nicht spielen? Spielen macht Spaß, spielen gibt uns eine Auszeit<br />
vom Alltag. Jedoch ist unser Alltag ein Spiel? Warum brauchen wir die<br />
Auszeit, warum in der digitalen und nicht in der reellen Welt?<br />
<br />
In dem Workshop sollen Skills erworben werden, um wiederholende,<br />
abhängig machende, spieleähnliche Schemata im digitalen Alltag<br />
wiederzuerkennen. Anhand von praktischen Beispielen werden wir vor allem<br />
versteckte spieleähnliche Angebote in den sozialen Netzwerken von<br />
Facebook, Google und anderen Apps und deren angebliche Erleichterungen<br />
analysieren.<br />
<br />
Dabei werden wir kurz in die Geschichte der Videospiele einführen und<br />
etwas ausführlicher auf das menschliche Gehirn oder den Mensch als<br />
kognitives Wesen eingehen: wie funktioniert unser Gehirn beim Lernen,<br />
wie einfach funktioniert das operante Konditionieren (Wiederholung und<br />
verstärkendes Verhalten durch Versuch und Irrtum), wie sehr generieren<br />
spieleähnliche Anwendungen kurze Freude und damit Abhängigkeiten und<br />
somit begrenzte Freude und damit verbundene Schmerzen?<br />
<br />
Ein Ziel ist es mit Möglichkeiten zu experimentieren, die immer<br />
umgreifendere digitale Herrschaft klarer zu erkennen, um sich besser zu<br />
entziehen oder sie angreifen zu können.<br />
<br />
Bringt euer Spielzeug mit!<br />

== April 16th - 19:30 - The Stunting of Thought - in the Aquarium (Südblock) Skalitzer Str. 6 ==<br />
<br />
(German below)<br />
<br />
=== The stunting of thought -An event within the framework of the anti-Google fight, which is critical of technology and of domination. ===<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The (digital) restructuring of domination precludes our desire for<br />
freedom and a self-determined life. That's why we want to focus on the<br />
individual, social and emotional impact of everyday use of new digital<br />
technologies (eg smartphones, apps, etc.). How can games-like methods<br />
(gamification) fool you into making everyday life easier and at the same<br />
time let self-thinking, craft and social skills stunt? How important are<br />
the real non-virtual experiences for our lives, for our feelings and our<br />
experiences? How alienated are personal feelings, dreams and experiences<br />
that are minutely portrayed in digital life - or how does emotional<br />
pornography work? As a counter concept a hackerdidactic is presented.<br />
This concept is for digital self-defense. It should not be about an<br />
application of technology, but rather about exposing our personal<br />
behaviors. Our approach begins with our own vulnerability and the<br />
emotions involved. So how do we encounter the degeneration of our<br />
thinking, our feelings and our self-determined life?<br />
this event will beheld in english with german translation.<br />

=== Die Verkümmerung des Denkens- Eine Veranstaltung im Rahmen des technologie- und herrschaftskritischen Anti-Google-Kampfes.===<br />
<br />
Die (digitale) Restrukturierung der Herrschaft steht unserem Verlangen<br />
nach Freiheit und einem selbstbestimmten Leben entgegen. Wir wollen uns<br />
deshalb in dieser Veranstaltung mit den individuellen, sozialen und<br />
emotionalen Auswirkungen durch den alltäglichen Gebrauch der neuen<br />
digitalen Technologien (z.b. Smartphones, Apps etc.) befassen. Wie<br />
können spieleähnliche Methoden (Gamification) vorgaukeln den Alltag zu<br />
erleichtern und gleichzeitig das Selbstdenken, handwerklichen und<br />
soziale Fähigkeiten verkümmern lassen? Wie wichtig sind die reellen<br />
nicht-virtuellen Erfahrungen für unser Leben, für unsere Gefühle und<br />
unserem Erleben? Wie entfremdet sind persönliche Gefühle, Träume und<br />
Erlebnisse, die im digitalen Alltag minutiös dargestellt werden - oder<br />
<br />
wie funktioniert emotionale Pornographie? Als Gegenkonzept wird eine<br />
Hackerdidaktik vorgestellt. Dieses Konzept dient der digitalen<br />
Selbstverteidigung. Dabei soll es nicht um eine Anwendung der Technik<br />
gehen, sondern vielmehr um das Herausstellen unserer persönlichen<br />
Verhaltensweisen. Unser Ansatz beginnt mit unser eigenen Verletzlichkeit<br />
und den damit verbundenen Emotionen. Wie also begegnen wir der<br />
Verkümmerung unseres Denkens, unser Gefühle und unseres selbstbestimmten<br />
Lebens?<br />

‘Es ist ein guter Tag für Berlin’, war die Reaktion der regierenden Bürgermeisters Michael Müller auf die Ankündigung zur Eröffnung des Google Campus in Berlin. Der siebte in der Campus Familie soll er werden, doch Google selbst, deren HQ sich in Mitte befindet, möchte dort jenseits des Namens nicht allzu präsent sein, außer durch die Bereitstellung von Kaffee und WiFi. Stattdessen sollen sich dort Start-Ups einmieten, vernetzen und arbeiten, vereint und geteilt in der Hoffnung eines Tages von Google gekauft zu werden.<br />
Generell boomt die Berliner Start-Up Szene. Es lockt ein internationales Team, Aufstiegsmöglichkeiten sowie Beer-Friday und gemeinsames Planking in der Mittagspause, so dass der Arbeitsplatz ‘Start-Up’ für viele als verheißungsvoll erscheint. Doch hinter den riesigen Glasfenstern der Co-Working Spaces wartet oftmals Prekarität und stupide Selbstausbeutung. Permanenter Enthusiasmus für das Team und das Projekt werden erwartet, bei zumeist niedrigen Löhnen, vor allem für Frauen, aber hochtrabenden Titeln. Wer legt sich schon mit dem Chef an, wenn man regelmäßig gemeinsam trinken geht. Die Lage der arbeitenden Klasse in Berlins Start-Ups und wie sie sich zur Wehr setzen kann, wollen wir gemeinsam diskutieren.<br />
<br />
Mathilde Ramadier ist Autorin und Übersetzerin und hat sich einige Berlin Start-Ups angetan. Über ihre Erfahrungen hat sie 2017 das Buch ‘Bienvenue dans la nouveau monde’ veröffentlicht.<br />

The Start-Up Scene in Berlin is on the rise and working in a Start-Up sounds promising to many. But what is actually lurking behind the facade of the co-working spaces? With the opening of the Google Campus ahead of us we want to talk about the actual working conditions and experiences in Berlins Start-Ups and how to organise and fight collectively. With Mathilde Ramadier, who released 'Bienvenue dans la nouveau monde' about her experiences working in different Start-Ups and Stefania Animento who an active member of the Berlin Migrant Strikers.<br />

<br />
Demonstration: Fight Google Campus & Co<br />
<br />
This year in spring or summer, Google plans to open its „Berlin Campus“ in the premises of the former Umspannwerk on Ohlauerstraße / Paul-Linke-Ufer. According to Google, this campus will be a place for start-ups to network and exchange. Google’s basic idea for establishing the Campus is to be the first one to spot those concepts that are promising to be the most profitable ones and to win the attracted founders for their company on the long run.<br />
<br />
There already exist six other “Google Startup Campus”, e.g. in Sao Paulo and in Seoul. The neighborhoods close to them soon experienced their impacts. In London for example commercial rents doubled within the first two years. However, we do not just critisize that gentrification is boosted by tech-companies like Google. As one of the biggest companies in the world, it also plays an<br />
important role for the technological attack. Its main task is collecting and selling data. Data may be the most valuable resource in today’s capitalist economy. The huge amounts of digital data are stored indefinitely – even after e.g a Gmail<br />
account.The majority of them are created by using one of the many Google products like the Google search engine (market share 90% in Europe), Google Maps, YouTube, Google Chrome, Google Books or the Android smartphone operating system. With the<br />
help of (self-learning) algorithms, mass data that appears to be irrelevant at the first sight will sooner or later be processed e. g. be used for well placed personalised (electoral) advertisement. Furthermore, the company works together with the military, secret services and other state institutions. With „big data“ it has become theoretically possible to analyse social developments. With this possibilty social movements could be fought even before they even exist.<br />
With the development of artificial intelligence and the ideology of transhumanism, tech-companies want to adjust humans to machines up to there fusion.<br />
Everyone can easily imagine what all this means: The systems power structures will<br />
be stabilized and strengthened and exploitation will be optimised.<br />
<br />
We think that our resistance against the technological attack symbolized by the Google Campus is important to fight for a better life for<br />
everybody – in Kreuzberg and worldwide. In Kreuzberg there is not only Google but many other tech-companies that push<br />
gentrification and technologistion of work forward.<br />
<br />
Our demonstration will pass by at view of the masses of premises of tech-companies that are already existing in Kreuzberg 36 and you will learn more about them. But resisting places and initiatives, e. g. DeliverUnion, should become a part of the demonstration. Opposition against companies like Google is possible – as, among others, the resistance against „Google Glass“, which led to its failed market<br />
launch, has shown.<br />
<br />
Let`s show together that Google, but also other actors like Zalando, Deliveroo, RocketInternet etc. are not welcome – neither in Kreuzberg nor everywhere!<br />
<br />
A nice life for everybody!<br />

Kiezspaziergang am 03.03.2018 um 15 Uhr am Schlesischen Tor<br />

<br />
Im Frühling oder Sommer diesen Jahres plant Google die Eröffnung des “Campus Berlin” im alten Umspannwerk in der Ohlauerstraße/ Ecke Paul-Linke-Ufer. Dieser Campus soll laut Google ein Ort der Vernetzung und des Austausch für Startups sein. Grundgedanke<br />
ist, dass Google so die profitversprechendsten Konzepte als erstes erkennt und so die mit kostenlosen Weiterbildungsangeboten angelockten Gründer ans eigene Unternehmen bindet.<br />
<br />
Weltweit gibt es bereits sechs “Google Startup Campus”, unter anderem in Sao Paulo und in Seoul. Deren Auswirkungen sind in der Nachbarschaft meist schnell zu spüren. So verdoppelten sich beispielsweise in London die Gewerbemieten um den Standort innerhalb der ersten zwei Jahre.<br />
Doch unsere Kritik bezieht sich nicht nur auf die Gentrifizierung, die durch Tech-Firmen wie Google angekurbelt wird. Im technologischen Angriff spielt Google als einer der größten Konzerne der Welt eine wichtige Rolle. Er hat als Hauptinteresse das Sammeln und Verkaufen von Daten. Denn Daten sind in der Ökonomie des heutigen Kapitalismus vielleicht das wertvollste Gut.<br />
Die enormen Massen an digitalen Daten, die zum Großteil auch durch das Benutzen der vielen Google Produkte wie der Google Suchmaschine (Marktanteil in Europa von 90%), Google Maps, YouTube, Google Chrome, Google Books oder Android als Smartphone-Betriebssystem entstehen, werden auf unbestimmte Zeit gespeichert – auch weiterhin nach dem Löschen eines Gmail-Kontos beispielsweise. Mit Hilfe von (selbstlernenden) Algorithmen werden früher oder später auch die auf den ersten Blick unwichtig erscheinenden Massendaten verarbeitet und z.B. für gut platzierte personalisierte (Wahl-) Werbung genutzt. Zudem arbeitet der Konzern mit Militär, Geheimdiensten sowie anderen staatlichen Institutionen zusammen. Es ist durch „Big-Data“ theoretisch möglich geworden gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen zu analysieren. So könnten soziale Bewegungen bekämpft werden noch bevor sie überhaupt<br />
entstehen. Mit Entwicklung von künstlicher Intelligenz und der Ideologie des Transhumanismus forcieren Tech-Konzerne die Anpassung des Menschen an die Maschine, bis hin zu deren Verschmelzung.<br />
Was das Alles bedeutet kann mensch sich leicht vorstellen: Herschafftsverhältnisse werden verschärft und stabilisiert und Ausbeutung wird optimert.<br />
<br />
Wir halten den Widerstand gegen den technologischen Angriff am Beispiel des Google-Campus für wichtig um für ein besseres Leben für alle zu kämpfen – in Kreuzberg und weltweit. In Kreuzberg gibt es aber nicht nur Google sondern auch viele andere Tech-Unternehmen, die die Gentrifizierung und oder auch die Technologisierung der Arbeitswelt vorantreiben.<br />
<br />
Beim Kiezspaziergang werden wir bei einige Tech-Unternehmen vorbeigehen, die es in Kreuzberg 36 bereits massenhaft gibt und ihr werdet mehr über diese Firmen erfahren. Doch auch widerständige Orte und Initiativen, wie z.B. DeliverUnion, sollen Teil des Spaziergangs werden. Denn Widerstand gegen Firmen wie Google ist möglich – wie unter anderem die Verhinderung der Einführung von “Google Glasses” gezeigt hat.<br />
<br />
Lasst uns gemeinsam zeigen, dass Google, aber auch andere Akteure wie Zalando, Deliveroo, RocketInternet etc. nicht willkommen sind – in Kreuzberg und überall!<br />
<br />
Ein schönes Leben für Alle!<br />

<br />
A collection of films, media excerpts, archival photos and a public forum all mixed together to help give an overview and develop effective strategies for protecting our communities against the accelerating neo-liberal agendas, neo-tech-colonialism, gentrification, inequalities and displacement. A “Google Campus” is planned to open in Kreuzberg in 2018, at the Umspannwerk on the Paul-Linke Ufer, in a district which is still a drum-beating heart of (multi-)cultural resistance for life + livelihoods in the thriving autonomous zones of Berlin. We’ll have special guests from San Francisco to share their experience organizing direct actions in the midst of the tech industries boom in neighborhoods like The Mission District. And perspectives on the local Kiez initiatives now mobilizing a diversity of tactics to stop the tech titan(s) from invading our city and disrupting our own visions for another possible urban eco-system and better decentralized tech infrastructures.<br />
<br />
Special guests will include filmmaker David Martinez ( 500 Miles To Babylon ) and activist Fred Sherburn-Zimmer ( Housing Rights Committee of San Francisco ), Sergey Schmidt and others to represent the local Berlin initiatives.<br />
<br />
We welcome discussion in all languages, but films will mostly be in Eng.<br />

<br />
At the beginning of next year, Google plans to open its seventh Google Campus worldwide at the Ohlauer Strasse substation.<br />
<br />
Google is not an innocent actor who only moves to Kreuzberg by chance. The company chose the substation because the neighbourhood was discovered as a resource for the tech industry: after the exploitation and transformation of the liberal San Francisco, it is now the turn of liberal Kreuzberg. This development is in its infancy, and it will affect all those who are still living here, but who cannot or do not want to participate in this transformation. That's why we protest against the move-in of Google.<br />

<br />
'''Google Campus & Co verhindern'''<br />
<br />
Mittlerweile twittern es die Vögel von den Dächern: Die Tech-Industrie kommt nach Berlin und mit ihr prekärere Jobs, Selbstausbeutung und steigende Mieten. Ein Testballon dafür ist der Google Campus in Kreuzberg. Es soll der siebte in der „Campus Family“ werden, zumindest wenn es nach Googles Mutterkonzern Alphabet und dem Berliner Senat geht. Google selbst bewirbt seinen Campus als Ort der Vernetzung, des Mentorings und als Brutstätte großer Ideen für junge UnternehmerInnen und Start-up-People. Dabei behauptet der Konzern, er selbst würde nur die Räumlichkeiten stellen und den Kaffee aufsetzen – mit den explodierenden Mieten und der täglichen Verdrängung soll das nichts zu tun haben.<br />
<br />
'''Vamos a la Player – Google angehen'''<br />
<br />
Aber warum soll man gegen schlechten Kaffee und ausstehenden Burnout einiger JungunternehmerInnen auf die Straße gehen, während Menschen ihr Zuhause verlieren? Es stimmt: Zahlreiche Initiativen und Zusammenschlüsse organisieren sich bereits entlang eigener Wohnbelange, andere skandalisieren behördliche Willkür oder kritisieren die repressive und marktkonforme Umgestaltung des öffentlichen Raumes. All dies zurecht. Viele von ihnen werden wir auf der „Widersetzen“-Demo am 14.4. in Berlin – der Stadt, in der die Mietpreise seit 2008 um 76 Prozent in die Höhe geschnellt sind – treffen. Wenn also der Kapitalismus uns auf so viele Arten das Leben schwermacht, warum dann gerade „Google Campus & Co“ verhindern?<br />

<br />
=== Workshop - in the course of the power-critical and technology-critical fight against the Google campus in Kreuzberg===<br />
<br />
<br />
The (digital) restructuring of domination precludes our desire for<br />
freedom and a self-determined life. Therefore, in this workshop, we want<br />
to look at the individual, social and emotional implications of the<br />
everyday use of new digital technologies.<br />
Who does not like to play? Playing is fun, playing gives us a break from<br />
everyday life. But is our everyday life a game? Why do we need time off,<br />
why in the digital and not in the real world?<br />
<br />
Skills will be acquired in the workshop to recognize repetitive,<br />
addictive, game-like schemes in everyday digital life. Using practical<br />
examples, we will above all analyze hidden game-like offers in the<br />
social networks of Facebook, Google and other apps and their alleged relief.<br />
<br />
We'll briefly introduce you to the history of video games and go into<br />
more detail about the human brain or the human being as a cognitive<br />
entity: how does our brain function in learning, how does operant<br />
conditioning (repetition and reinforcing behavior through trial and<br />
error) work? how games generate short joy and therfore dependencies and<br />
thus limited joy and pain associated with it?<br />
<br />
One goal is to experiment with ways to more clearly recognize the<br />
increasingly encompassing digital domain in order to better escape or<br />
attack them.<br />
This workshop will be hold in english and translated into german!<br />

=== Workshop – im Zuge des herrschafts- und technologiekritischen Kampfes gegen den Google Campus in Kreuzberg ====<br />
<br />
Die (digitale) Restrukturierung der Herrschaft steht unserem Verlangen<br />
<br />
<br />
nach Freiheit und einem selbstbestimmten Leben entgegen. Wir wollen uns<br />
deshalb in diesem Workshop mit den individuellen, sozialen und<br />
emotionalen Auswirkungen durch den alltäglichen Gebrauch der neuen<br />
digitalen Technologien befassen.<br />
<br />
Wer mag nicht spielen? Spielen macht Spaß, spielen gibt uns eine Auszeit<br />
vom Alltag. Jedoch ist unser Alltag ein Spiel? Warum brauchen wir die<br />
Auszeit, warum in der digitalen und nicht in der reellen Welt?<br />
<br />
In dem Workshop sollen Skills erworben werden, um wiederholende,<br />
abhängig machende, spieleähnliche Schemata im digitalen Alltag<br />
wiederzuerkennen. Anhand von praktischen Beispielen werden wir vor allem<br />
versteckte spieleähnliche Angebote in den sozialen Netzwerken von<br />
Facebook, Google und anderen Apps und deren angebliche Erleichterungen<br />
analysieren.<br />
<br />
Dabei werden wir kurz in die Geschichte der Videospiele einführen und<br />
etwas ausführlicher auf das menschliche Gehirn oder den Mensch als<br />
kognitives Wesen eingehen: wie funktioniert unser Gehirn beim Lernen,<br />
wie einfach funktioniert das operante Konditionieren (Wiederholung und<br />
verstärkendes Verhalten durch Versuch und Irrtum), wie sehr generieren<br />
spieleähnliche Anwendungen kurze Freude und damit Abhängigkeiten und<br />
somit begrenzte Freude und damit verbundene Schmerzen?<br />
<br />
Ein Ziel ist es mit Möglichkeiten zu experimentieren, die immer<br />
umgreifendere digitale Herrschaft klarer zu erkennen, um sich besser zu<br />
entziehen oder sie angreifen zu können.<br />
<br />

<br />
(German below)<br />
<br />
=== The stunting of thought -An event within the framework of the anti-Google fight, which is critical of technology and of domination. ===<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The (digital) restructuring of domination precludes our desire for<br />
freedom and a self-determined life. That's why we want to focus on the<br />
individual, social and emotional impact of everyday use of new digital<br />
technologies (eg smartphones, apps, etc.). How can games-like methods<br />
(gamification) fool you into making everyday life easier and at the same<br />
time let self-thinking, craft and social skills stunt? How important are<br />
the real non-virtual experiences for our lives, for our feelings and our<br />
experiences? How alienated are personal feelings, dreams and experiences<br />
that are minutely portrayed in digital life - or how does emotional<br />
pornography work? As a counter concept a hackerdidactic is presented.<br />
This concept is for digital self-defense. It should not be about an<br />
application of technology, but rather about exposing our personal<br />
behaviors. Our approach begins with our own vulnerability and the<br />
emotions involved. So how do we encounter the degeneration of our<br />
thinking, our feelings and our self-determined life?<br />
this event will beheld in english with german translation.<br />

=== Die Verkümmerung des Denkens- Eine Veranstaltung im Rahmen des technologie- und herrschaftskritischen Anti-Google-Kampfes.===<br />
<br />
Die (digitale) Restrukturierung der Herrschaft steht unserem Verlangen<br />
nach Freiheit und einem selbstbestimmten Leben entgegen. Wir wollen uns<br />
deshalb in dieser Veranstaltung mit den individuellen, sozialen und<br />
emotionalen Auswirkungen durch den alltäglichen Gebrauch der neuen<br />
digitalen Technologien (z.b. Smartphones, Apps etc.) befassen. Wie<br />
können spieleähnliche Methoden (Gamification) vorgaukeln den Alltag zu<br />
erleichtern und gleichzeitig das Selbstdenken, handwerklichen und<br />
soziale Fähigkeiten verkümmern lassen? Wie wichtig sind die reellen<br />
nicht-virtuellen Erfahrungen für unser Leben, für unsere Gefühle und<br />
unserem Erleben? Wie entfremdet sind persönliche Gefühle, Träume und<br />
Erlebnisse, die im digitalen Alltag minutiös dargestellt werden - oder<br />
<br />
wie funktioniert emotionale Pornographie? Als Gegenkonzept wird eine<br />
Hackerdidaktik vorgestellt. Dieses Konzept dient der digitalen<br />
Selbstverteidigung. Dabei soll es nicht um eine Anwendung der Technik<br />
gehen, sondern vielmehr um das Herausstellen unserer persönlichen<br />
Verhaltensweisen. Unser Ansatz beginnt mit unser eigenen Verletzlichkeit<br />
und den damit verbundenen Emotionen. Wie also begegnen wir der<br />
Verkümmerung unseres Denkens, unser Gefühle und unseres selbstbestimmten<br />
Lebens?<br />

<br />
‘Es ist ein guter Tag für Berlin’, war die Reaktion der regierenden Bürgermeisters Michael Müller auf die Ankündigung zur Eröffnung des Google Campus in Berlin. Der siebte in der Campus Familie soll er werden, doch Google selbst, deren HQ sich in Mitte befindet, möchte dort jenseits des Namens nicht allzu präsent sein, außer durch die Bereitstellung von Kaffee und WiFi. Stattdessen sollen sich dort Start-Ups einmieten, vernetzen und arbeiten, vereint und geteilt in der Hoffnung eines Tages von Google gekauft zu werden.<br />
Generell boomt die Berliner Start-Up Szene. Es lockt ein internationales Team, Aufstiegsmöglichkeiten sowie Beer-Friday und gemeinsames Planking in der Mittagspause, so dass der Arbeitsplatz ‘Start-Up’ für viele als verheißungsvoll erscheint. Doch hinter den riesigen Glasfenstern der Co-Working Spaces wartet oftmals Prekarität und stupide Selbstausbeutung. Permanenter Enthusiasmus für das Team und das Projekt werden erwartet, bei zumeist niedrigen Löhnen, vor allem für Frauen, aber hochtrabenden Titeln. Wer legt sich schon mit dem Chef an, wenn man regelmäßig gemeinsam trinken geht. Die Lage der arbeitenden Klasse in Berlins Start-Ups und wie sie sich zur Wehr setzen kann, wollen wir gemeinsam diskutieren.<br />
<br />
Mathilde Ramadier ist Autorin und Übersetzerin und hat sich einige Berlin Start-Ups angetan. Über ihre Erfahrungen hat sie 2017 das Buch ‘Bienvenue dans la nouveau monde’ veröffentlicht.<br />
Stefania Animento forscht und arbeitet zur Situation italienischer MigrantInnen in Berlin und ist aktiv bei der Gruppe Berlin Migrant Strikers<br />

The Start-Up Scene in Berlin is on the rise and working in a Start-Up sounds promising to many. But what is actually lurking behind the facade of the co-working spaces? With the opening of the Google Campus ahead of us we want to talk about the actual working conditions and experiences in Berlins Start-Ups and how to organise and fight collectively. With Mathilde Ramadier, who released 'Bienvenue dans la nouveau monde' about her experiences working in different Start-Ups and Stefania Animento who an active member of the Berlin Migrant Strikers.<br />

<br />
Demonstration: Fight Google Campus & Co<br />
<br />
This year in spring or summer, Google plans to open its „Berlin Campus“ in the premises of the former Umspannwerk on Ohlauerstraße / Paul-Linke-Ufer. According to Google, this campus will be a place for start-ups to network and exchange. Google’s basic idea for establishing the Campus is to be the first one to spot those concepts that are promising to be the most profitable ones and to win the attracted founders for their company on the long run.<br />
<br />
There already exist six other “Google Startup Campus”, e.g. in Sao Paulo and in Seoul. The neighborhoods close to them soon experienced their impacts. In London for example commercial rents doubled within the first two years. However, we do not just critisize that gentrification is boosted by tech-companies like Google. As one of the biggest companies in the world, it also plays an<br />
important role for the technological attack. Its main task is collecting and selling data. Data may be the most valuable resource in today’s capitalist economy. The huge amounts of digital data are stored indefinitely – even after e.g a Gmail<br />
account.The majority of them are created by using one of the many Google products like the Google search engine (market share 90% in Europe), Google Maps, YouTube, Google Chrome, Google Books or the Android smartphone operating system. With the<br />
help of (self-learning) algorithms, mass data that appears to be irrelevant at the first sight will sooner or later be processed e. g. be used for well placed personalised (electoral) advertisement. Furthermore, the company works together with the military, secret services and other state institutions. With „big data“ it has become theoretically possible to analyse social developments. With this possibilty social movements could be fought even before they even exist.<br />
With the development of artificial intelligence and the ideology of transhumanism, tech-companies want to adjust humans to machines up to there fusion.<br />
Everyone can easily imagine what all this means: The systems power structures will<br />
be stabilized and strengthened and exploitation will be optimised.<br />
<br />
We think that our resistance against the technological attack symbolized by the Google Campus is important to fight for a better life for<br />
everybody – in Kreuzberg and worldwide. In Kreuzberg there is not only Google but many other tech-companies that push<br />
gentrification and technologistion of work forward.<br />
<br />
Our demonstration will pass by at view of the masses of premises of tech-companies that are already existing in Kreuzberg 36 and you will learn more about them. But resisting places and initiatives, e. g. DeliverUnion, should become a part of the demonstration. Opposition against companies like Google is possible – as, among others, the resistance against „Google Glass“, which led to its failed market<br />
launch, has shown.<br />
<br />
Let`s show together that Google, but also other actors like Zalando, Deliveroo, RocketInternet etc. are not welcome – neither in Kreuzberg nor everywhere!<br />
<br />
A nice life for everybody!<br />

Deutscher Aufruf<br />
<br />
Kiezspaziergang am 03.03.2018 um 15 Uhr am Schlesischen Tor<br />
<br />
unter Stuff findet ihr Mobimaterial dazu…<br />
<br />
Im Frühling oder Sommer diesen Jahres plant Google die Eröffnung des “Campus Berlin” im alten Umspannwerk in der Ohlauerstraße/ Ecke Paul-Linke-Ufer. Dieser Campus soll laut Google ein Ort der Vernetzung und des Austausch für Startups sein. Grundgedanke<br />
ist, dass Google so die profitversprechendsten Konzepte als erstes erkennt und so die mit kostenlosen Weiterbildungsangeboten angelockten Gründer ans eigene Unternehmen bindet.<br />
<br />
Weltweit gibt es bereits sechs “Google Startup Campus”, unter anderem in Sao Paulo und in Seoul. Deren Auswirkungen sind in der Nachbarschaft meist schnell zu spüren. So verdoppelten sich beispielsweise in London die Gewerbemieten um den Standort innerhalb der ersten zwei Jahre.<br />
Doch unsere Kritik bezieht sich nicht nur auf die Gentrifizierung, die durch Tech-Firmen wie Google angekurbelt wird. Im technologischen Angriff spielt Google als einer der größten Konzerne der Welt eine wichtige Rolle. Er hat als Hauptinteresse das Sammeln und Verkaufen von Daten. Denn Daten sind in der Ökonomie des heutigen Kapitalismus vielleicht das wertvollste Gut.<br />
Die enormen Massen an digitalen Daten, die zum Großteil auch durch das Benutzen der vielen Google Produkte wie der Google Suchmaschine (Marktanteil in Europa von 90%), Google Maps, YouTube, Google Chrome, Google Books oder Android als Smartphone-Betriebssystem entstehen, werden auf unbestimmte Zeit gespeichert – auch weiterhin nach dem Löschen eines Gmail-Kontos beispielsweise. Mit Hilfe von (selbstlernenden) Algorithmen werden früher oder später auch die auf den ersten Blick unwichtig erscheinenden Massendaten verarbeitet und z.B. für gut platzierte personalisierte (Wahl-) Werbung genutzt. Zudem arbeitet der Konzern mit Militär, Geheimdiensten sowie anderen staatlichen Institutionen zusammen. Es ist durch „Big-Data“ theoretisch möglich geworden gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen zu analysieren. So könnten soziale Bewegungen bekämpft werden noch bevor sie überhaupt<br />
entstehen. Mit Entwicklung von künstlicher Intelligenz und der Ideologie des Transhumanismus forcieren Tech-Konzerne die Anpassung des Menschen an die Maschine, bis hin zu deren Verschmelzung.<br />
Was das Alles bedeutet kann mensch sich leicht vorstellen: Herschafftsverhältnisse werden verschärft und stabilisiert und Ausbeutung wird optimert.<br />
<br />
Wir halten den Widerstand gegen den technologischen Angriff am Beispiel des Google-Campus für wichtig um für ein besseres Leben für alle zu kämpfen – in Kreuzberg und weltweit. In Kreuzberg gibt es aber nicht nur Google sondern auch viele andere Tech-Unternehmen, die die Gentrifizierung und oder auch die Technologisierung der Arbeitswelt vorantreiben.<br />
<br />
Beim Kiezspaziergang werden wir bei einige Tech-Unternehmen vorbeigehen, die es in Kreuzberg 36 bereits massenhaft gibt und ihr werdet mehr über diese Firmen erfahren. Doch auch widerständige Orte und Initiativen, wie z.B. DeliverUnion, sollen Teil des Spaziergangs werden. Denn Widerstand gegen Firmen wie Google ist möglich – wie unter anderem die Verhinderung der Einführung von “Google Glasses” gezeigt hat.<br />
<br />
Lasst uns gemeinsam zeigen, dass Google, aber auch andere Akteure wie Zalando, Deliveroo, RocketInternet etc. nicht willkommen sind – in Kreuzberg und überall!<br />
<br />
Ein schönes Leben für Alle!<br />

<br />
A collection of films, media excerpts, archival photos and a public forum all mixed together to help give an overview and develop effective strategies for protecting our communities against the accelerating neo-liberal agendas, neo-tech-colonialism, gentrification, inequalities and displacement. A “Google Campus” is planned to open in Kreuzberg in 2018, at the Umspannwerk on the Paul-Linke Ufer, in a district which is still a drum-beating heart of (multi-)cultural resistance for life + livelihoods in the thriving autonomous zones of Berlin. We’ll have special guests from San Francisco to share their experience organizing direct actions in the midst of the tech industries boom in neighborhoods like The Mission District. And perspectives on the local Kiez initiatives now mobilizing a diversity of tactics to stop the tech titan(s) from invading our city and disrupting our own visions for another possible urban eco-system and better decentralized tech infrastructures.<br />
<br />
Special guests will include filmmaker David Martinez ( 500 Miles To Babylon ) and activist Fred Sherburn-Zimmer ( Housing Rights Committee of San Francisco ), Sergey Schmidt and others to represent the local Berlin initiatives.<br />
<br />
We welcome discussion in all languages, but films will mostly be in Eng.<br />

<br />
Translated from Facebook invitation (https://www.facebook.com/events/172197170039110/):<br />
<br />
At the beginning of next year, Google plans to open its seventh Google Campus worldwide at the Ohlauer Strasse substation.<br />
<br />
Google is not an innocent actor who only moves to Kreuzberg by chance. The company chose the substation because the neighbourhood was discovered as a resource for the tech industry: after the exploitation and transformation of the liberal San Francisco, it is now the turn of liberal Kreuzberg. This development is in its infancy, and it will affect all those who are still living here, but who cannot or do not want to participate in this transformation. That's why we protest against the move-in of Google.<br />

<br />
<br />
'''Google Campus & Co verhindern'''<br />
<br />
Mittlerweile twittern es die Vögel von den Dächern: Die Tech-Industrie kommt nach Berlin und mit ihr prekärere Jobs, Selbstausbeutung und steigende Mieten. Ein Testballon dafür ist der Google Campus in Kreuzberg. Es soll der siebte in der „Campus Family“ werden, zumindest wenn es nach Googles Mutterkonzern Alphabet und dem Berliner Senat geht. Google selbst bewirbt seinen Campus als Ort der Vernetzung, des Mentorings und als Brutstätte großer Ideen für junge UnternehmerInnen und Start-up-People. Dabei behauptet der Konzern, er selbst würde nur die Räumlichkeiten stellen und den Kaffee aufsetzen – mit den explodierenden Mieten und der täglichen Verdrängung soll das nichts zu tun haben.<br />
<br />
'''Vamos a la Player – Google angehen'''<br />
<br />
Aber warum soll man gegen schlechten Kaffee und ausstehenden Burnout einiger JungunternehmerInnen auf die Straße gehen, während Menschen ihr Zuhause verlieren? Es stimmt: Zahlreiche Initiativen und Zusammenschlüsse organisieren sich bereits entlang eigener Wohnbelange, andere skandalisieren behördliche Willkür oder kritisieren die repressive und marktkonforme Umgestaltung des öffentlichen Raumes. All dies zurecht. Viele von ihnen werden wir auf der „Widersetzen“-Demo am 14.4. in Berlin – der Stadt, in der die Mietpreise seit 2008 um 76 Prozent in die Höhe geschnellt sind – treffen. Wenn also der Kapitalismus uns auf so viele Arten das Leben schwermacht, warum dann gerade „Google Campus & Co“ verhindern?<br />

(German Below)<br />
<br />
=== Workshop - in the course of the power-critical and technology-critical fight against the Google campus in Kreuzberg===<br />
<br />
<br />
The (digital) restructuring of domination precludes our desire for<br />
freedom and a self-determined life. Therefore, in this workshop, we want<br />
to look at the individual, social and emotional implications of the<br />
everyday use of new digital technologies.<br />
Who does not like to play? Playing is fun, playing gives us a break from<br />
everyday life. But is our everyday life a game? Why do we need time off,<br />
why in the digital and not in the real world?<br />
<br />
Skills will be acquired in the workshop to recognize repetitive,<br />
addictive, game-like schemes in everyday digital life. Using practical<br />
examples, we will above all analyze hidden game-like offers in the<br />
social networks of Facebook, Google and other apps and their alleged relief.<br />
<br />
We'll briefly introduce you to the history of video games and go into<br />
more detail about the human brain or the human being as a cognitive<br />
entity: how does our brain function in learning, how does operant<br />
conditioning (repetition and reinforcing behavior through trial and<br />
error) work? how games generate short joy and therfore dependencies and<br />
thus limited joy and pain associated with it?<br />
<br />
One goal is to experiment with ways to more clearly recognize the<br />
increasingly encompassing digital domain in order to better escape or<br />
attack them.<br />
This workshop will be hold in english and translated into german!<br />
<br />

=== Workshop – im Zuge des herrschafts- und technologiekritischen Kampfes gegen den Google Campus in Kreuzberg ====<br />
<br />
Die (digitale) Restrukturierung der Herrschaft steht unserem Verlangen<br />
<br />
<br />
nach Freiheit und einem selbstbestimmten Leben entgegen. Wir wollen uns<br />
deshalb in diesem Workshop mit den individuellen, sozialen und<br />
emotionalen Auswirkungen durch den alltäglichen Gebrauch der neuen<br />
digitalen Technologien befassen.<br />
<br />
Wer mag nicht spielen? Spielen macht Spaß, spielen gibt uns eine Auszeit<br />
vom Alltag. Jedoch ist unser Alltag ein Spiel? Warum brauchen wir die<br />
Auszeit, warum in der digitalen und nicht in der reellen Welt?<br />
<br />
In dem Workshop sollen Skills erworben werden, um wiederholende,<br />
abhängig machende, spieleähnliche Schemata im digitalen Alltag<br />
wiederzuerkennen. Anhand von praktischen Beispielen werden wir vor allem<br />
versteckte spieleähnliche Angebote in den sozialen Netzwerken von<br />
Facebook, Google und anderen Apps und deren angebliche Erleichterungen<br />
analysieren.<br />
<br />
Dabei werden wir kurz in die Geschichte der Videospiele einführen und<br />
etwas ausführlicher auf das menschliche Gehirn oder den Mensch als<br />
kognitives Wesen eingehen: wie funktioniert unser Gehirn beim Lernen,<br />
wie einfach funktioniert das operante Konditionieren (Wiederholung und<br />
verstärkendes Verhalten durch Versuch und Irrtum), wie sehr generieren<br />
spieleähnliche Anwendungen kurze Freude und damit Abhängigkeiten und<br />
somit begrenzte Freude und damit verbundene Schmerzen?<br />
<br />
Ein Ziel ist es mit Möglichkeiten zu experimentieren, die immer<br />
umgreifendere digitale Herrschaft klarer zu erkennen, um sich besser zu<br />
entziehen oder sie angreifen zu können.<br />
<br />
Bringt euer Spielzeug mit!<br />

== April 16th - 19:30 - The Stunting of Thought - in the Aquarium (Südblock) Skalitzer Str. 6 ==<br />
<br />
(German below)<br />
<br />
=== The stunting of thought -An event within the framework of the anti-Google fight, which is critical of technology and of domination. ===<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The (digital) restructuring of domination precludes our desire for<br />
freedom and a self-determined life. That's why we want to focus on the<br />
individual, social and emotional impact of everyday use of new digital<br />
technologies (eg smartphones, apps, etc.). How can games-like methods<br />
(gamification) fool you into making everyday life easier and at the same<br />
time let self-thinking, craft and social skills stunt? How important are<br />
the real non-virtual experiences for our lives, for our feelings and our<br />
experiences? How alienated are personal feelings, dreams and experiences<br />
that are minutely portrayed in digital life - or how does emotional<br />
pornography work? As a counter concept a hackerdidactic is presented.<br />
This concept is for digital self-defense. It should not be about an<br />
application of technology, but rather about exposing our personal<br />
behaviors. Our approach begins with our own vulnerability and the<br />
emotions involved. So how do we encounter the degeneration of our<br />
thinking, our feelings and our self-determined life?<br />
this event will beheld in english with german translation.<br />

=== Die Verkümmerung des Denkens- Eine Veranstaltung im Rahmen des technologie- und herrschaftskritischen Anti-Google-Kampfes.===<br />
<br />
Die (digitale) Restrukturierung der Herrschaft steht unserem Verlangen<br />
nach Freiheit und einem selbstbestimmten Leben entgegen. Wir wollen uns<br />
deshalb in dieser Veranstaltung mit den individuellen, sozialen und<br />
emotionalen Auswirkungen durch den alltäglichen Gebrauch der neuen<br />
digitalen Technologien (z.b. Smartphones, Apps etc.) befassen. Wie<br />
können spieleähnliche Methoden (Gamification) vorgaukeln den Alltag zu<br />
erleichtern und gleichzeitig das Selbstdenken, handwerklichen und<br />
soziale Fähigkeiten verkümmern lassen? Wie wichtig sind die reellen<br />
nicht-virtuellen Erfahrungen für unser Leben, für unsere Gefühle und<br />
unserem Erleben? Wie entfremdet sind persönliche Gefühle, Träume und<br />
Erlebnisse, die im digitalen Alltag minutiös dargestellt werden - oder<br />
<br />
wie funktioniert emotionale Pornographie? Als Gegenkonzept wird eine<br />
Hackerdidaktik vorgestellt. Dieses Konzept dient der digitalen<br />
Selbstverteidigung. Dabei soll es nicht um eine Anwendung der Technik<br />
gehen, sondern vielmehr um das Herausstellen unserer persönlichen<br />
Verhaltensweisen. Unser Ansatz beginnt mit unser eigenen Verletzlichkeit<br />
und den damit verbundenen Emotionen. Wie also begegnen wir der<br />
Verkümmerung unseres Denkens, unser Gefühle und unseres selbstbestimmten<br />
Lebens?<br />

‘Es ist ein guter Tag für Berlin’, war die Reaktion der regierenden Bürgermeisters Michael Müller auf die Ankündigung zur Eröffnung des Google Campus in Berlin. Der siebte in der Campus Familie soll er werden, doch Google selbst, deren HQ sich in Mitte befindet, möchte dort jenseits des Namens nicht allzu präsent sein, außer durch die Bereitstellung von Kaffee und WiFi. Stattdessen sollen sich dort Start-Ups einmieten, vernetzen und arbeiten, vereint und geteilt in der Hoffnung eines Tages von Google gekauft zu werden.<br />
Generell boomt die Berliner Start-Up Szene. Es lockt ein internationales Team, Aufstiegsmöglichkeiten sowie Beer-Friday und gemeinsames Planking in der Mittagspause, so dass der Arbeitsplatz ‘Start-Up’ für viele als verheißungsvoll erscheint. Doch hinter den riesigen Glasfenstern der Co-Working Spaces wartet oftmals Prekarität und stupide Selbstausbeutung. Permanenter Enthusiasmus für das Team und das Projekt werden erwartet, bei zumeist niedrigen Löhnen, vor allem für Frauen, aber hochtrabenden Titeln. Wer legt sich schon mit dem Chef an, wenn man regelmäßig gemeinsam trinken geht. Die Lage der arbeitenden Klasse in Berlins Start-Ups und wie sie sich zur Wehr setzen kann, wollen wir gemeinsam diskutieren.<br />
<br />
Mathilde Ramadier ist Autorin und Übersetzerin und hat sich einige Berlin Start-Ups angetan. Über ihre Erfahrungen hat sie 2017 das Buch ‘Bienvenue dans la nouveau monde’ veröffentlicht.<br />

The Start-Up Scene in Berlin is on the rise and working in a Start-Up sounds promising to many. But what is actually lurking behind the facade of the co-working spaces? With the opening of the Google Campus ahead of us we want to talk about the actual working conditions and experiences in Berlins Start-Ups and how to organise and fight collectively. With Mathilde Ramadier, who released 'Bienvenue dans la nouveau monde' about her experiences working in different Start-Ups and Stefania Animento who an active member of the Berlin Migrant Strikers.<br />

Demonstration: Fight Google Campus & Co<br />
<br />
This year in spring or summer, Google plans to open its „Berlin Campus“ in the premises of the former Umspannwerk on Ohlauerstraße / Paul-Linke-Ufer. According to Google, this campus will be a place for start-ups to network and exchange. Google’s basic idea for establishing the Campus is to be the first one to spot those concepts that are promising to be the most profitable ones and to win the attracted founders for their company on the long run.<br />
<br />
There already exist six other “Google Startup Campus”, e.g. in Sao Paulo and in Seoul. The neighborhoods close to them soon experienced their impacts. In London for example commercial rents doubled within the first two years. However, we do not just critisize that gentrification is boosted by tech-companies like Google. As one of the biggest companies in the world, it also plays an<br />
important role for the technological attack. Its main task is collecting and selling data. Data may be the most valuable resource in today’s capitalist economy. The huge amounts of digital data are stored indefinitely – even after e.g a Gmail<br />
account.The majority of them are created by using one of the many Google products like the Google search engine (market share 90% in Europe), Google Maps, YouTube, Google Chrome, Google Books or the Android smartphone operating system. With the<br />
help of (self-learning) algorithms, mass data that appears to be irrelevant at the first sight will sooner or later be processed e. g. be used for well placed personalised (electoral) advertisement. Furthermore, the company works together with the military, secret services and other state institutions. With „big data“ it has become theoretically possible to analyse social developments. With this possibilty social movements could be fought even before they even exist.<br />
With the development of artificial intelligence and the ideology of transhumanism, tech-companies want to adjust humans to machines up to there fusion.<br />
Everyone can easily imagine what all this means: The systems power structures will<br />
be stabilized and strengthened and exploitation will be optimised.<br />
<br />
We think that our resistance against the technological attack symbolized by the Google Campus is important to fight for a better life for<br />
everybody – in Kreuzberg and worldwide. In Kreuzberg there is not only Google but many other tech-companies that push<br />
gentrification and technologistion of work forward.<br />
<br />
Our demonstration will pass by at view of the masses of premises of tech-companies that are already existing in Kreuzberg 36 and you will learn more about them. But resisting places and initiatives, e. g. DeliverUnion, should become a part of the demonstration. Opposition against companies like Google is possible – as, among others, the resistance against „Google Glass“, which led to its failed market<br />
launch, has shown.<br />
<br />
Let`s show together that Google, but also other actors like Zalando, Deliveroo, RocketInternet etc. are not welcome – neither in Kreuzberg nor everywhere!<br />
<br />
A nice life for everybody!<br />

Deutscher Aufruf<br />
<br />
Kiezspaziergang am 03.03.2018 um 15 Uhr am Schlesischen Tor<br />
<br />
unter Stuff findet ihr Mobimaterial dazu…<br />
<br />
Im Frühling oder Sommer diesen Jahres plant Google die Eröffnung des “Campus Berlin” im alten Umspannwerk in der Ohlauerstraße/ Ecke Paul-Linke-Ufer. Dieser Campus soll laut Google ein Ort der Vernetzung und des Austausch für Startups sein. Grundgedanke<br />
ist, dass Google so die profitversprechendsten Konzepte als erstes erkennt und so die mit kostenlosen Weiterbildungsangeboten angelockten Gründer ans eigene Unternehmen bindet.<br />
<br />
Weltweit gibt es bereits sechs “Google Startup Campus”, unter anderem in Sao Paulo und in Seoul. Deren Auswirkungen sind in der Nachbarschaft meist schnell zu spüren. So verdoppelten sich beispielsweise in London die Gewerbemieten um den Standort innerhalb der ersten zwei Jahre.<br />
Doch unsere Kritik bezieht sich nicht nur auf die Gentrifizierung, die durch Tech-Firmen wie Google angekurbelt wird. Im technologischen Angriff spielt Google als einer der größten Konzerne der Welt eine wichtige Rolle. Er hat als Hauptinteresse das Sammeln und Verkaufen von Daten. Denn Daten sind in der Ökonomie des heutigen Kapitalismus vielleicht das wertvollste Gut.<br />
Die enormen Massen an digitalen Daten, die zum Großteil auch durch das Benutzen der vielen Google Produkte wie der Google Suchmaschine (Marktanteil in Europa von 90%), Google Maps, YouTube, Google Chrome, Google Books oder Android als Smartphone-Betriebssystem entstehen, werden auf unbestimmte Zeit gespeichert – auch weiterhin nach dem Löschen eines Gmail-Kontos beispielsweise. Mit Hilfe von (selbstlernenden) Algorithmen werden früher oder später auch die auf den ersten Blick unwichtig erscheinenden Massendaten verarbeitet und z.B. für gut platzierte personalisierte (Wahl-) Werbung genutzt. Zudem arbeitet der Konzern mit Militär, Geheimdiensten sowie anderen staatlichen Institutionen zusammen. Es ist durch „Big-Data“ theoretisch möglich geworden gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen zu analysieren. So könnten soziale Bewegungen bekämpft werden noch bevor sie überhaupt<br />
entstehen. Mit Entwicklung von künstlicher Intelligenz und der Ideologie des Transhumanismus forcieren Tech-Konzerne die Anpassung des Menschen an die Maschine, bis hin zu deren Verschmelzung.<br />
Was das Alles bedeutet kann mensch sich leicht vorstellen: Herschafftsverhältnisse werden verschärft und stabilisiert und Ausbeutung wird optimert.<br />
<br />
Wir halten den Widerstand gegen den technologischen Angriff am Beispiel des Google-Campus für wichtig um für ein besseres Leben für alle zu kämpfen – in Kreuzberg und weltweit. In Kreuzberg gibt es aber nicht nur Google sondern auch viele andere Tech-Unternehmen, die die Gentrifizierung und oder auch die Technologisierung der Arbeitswelt vorantreiben.<br />
<br />
Beim Kiezspaziergang werden wir bei einige Tech-Unternehmen vorbeigehen, die es in Kreuzberg 36 bereits massenhaft gibt und ihr werdet mehr über diese Firmen erfahren. Doch auch widerständige Orte und Initiativen, wie z.B. DeliverUnion, sollen Teil des Spaziergangs werden. Denn Widerstand gegen Firmen wie Google ist möglich – wie unter anderem die Verhinderung der Einführung von “Google Glasses” gezeigt hat.<br />
<br />
Lasst uns gemeinsam zeigen, dass Google, aber auch andere Akteure wie Zalando, Deliveroo, RocketInternet etc. nicht willkommen sind – in Kreuzberg und überall!<br />
<br />
Ein schönes Leben für Alle!<br />

A collection of films, media excerpts, archival photos and a public forum all mixed together to help give an overview and develop effective strategies for protecting our communities against the accelerating neo-liberal agendas, neo-tech-colonialism, gentrification, inequalities and displacement. A “Google Campus” is planned to open in Kreuzberg in 2018, at the Umspannwerk on the Paul-Linke Ufer, in a district which is still a drum-beating heart of (multi-)cultural resistance for life + livelihoods in the thriving autonomous zones of Berlin. We’ll have special guests from San Francisco to share their experience organizing direct actions in the midst of the tech industries boom in neighborhoods like The Mission District. And perspectives on the local Kiez initiatives now mobilizing a diversity of tactics to stop the tech titan(s) from invading our city and disrupting our own visions for another possible urban eco-system and better decentralized tech infrastructures.<br />
<br />
Special guests will include filmmaker David Martinez ( 500 Miles To Babylon ) and activist Fred Sherburn-Zimmer ( Housing Rights Committee of San Francisco ), Sergey Schmidt and others to represent the local Berlin initiatives.<br />
<br />
We welcome discussion in all languages, but films will mostly be in Eng.<br />

<br />
At the beginning of next year, Google plans to open its seventh Google Campus worldwide at the Ohlauer Strasse substation.<br />
<br />
Google is not an innocent actor who only moves to Kreuzberg by chance. The company chose the substation because the neighbourhood was discovered as a resource for the tech industry: after the exploitation and transformation of the liberal San Francisco, it is now the turn of liberal Kreuzberg. This development is in its infancy, and it will affect all those who are still living here, but who cannot or do not want to participate in this transformation. That's why we protest against the move-in of Google.<br />

=== Google Moved Billions Of Dollars To Bermuda To Avoid Taxes... Again - Forbes - 2016 ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote>"On Friday, Reuters reported that in 2014 the tech giant—which now falls under parent company Alphabet—transferred 11.7 billion Euros (approximately $13 billion) to Bermuda in an effort to minimize the taxes it had to pay on its income through a little tax maneuver that has been dubbed a "Double Irish with a Dutch Sandwich."<br />
<br />
In the simplest of terms, Google , like many multinational corporations, used differences in the Irish and American tax codes to its advantage. A portion of Google’s profits are paid to an Irish affiliate as royalties on its patents (which are taxed at a lower rate). To further avoid taxes, this money is then routed to the company’s Dutch subsidiary, Google Netherlands Holdings BV. From there, the company tranfers its revenue to another affiliate, Google Ireland Holdings, which is based in the notorious tax haven of Bermuda—but registered in Ireland, Reuters reports. So there you have it—double Irish with a Dutch sandwich."</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>A French court handed Google’s parent company, Alphabet, a reprieve from a 1.11bn-euro ($1.27bn) tax bill on Wednesday in a major victory for the tech giant.<br />
<br />
The decision comes after six years of fighting with the French tax authority over back taxes it claims are due from the tech firm for the years 2005 to 2010.<br />
<br />
The French tax administration argued that Google had to pay taxes in France because the California firm and its subsidiary in Ireland have been selling a service for inserting online ads to clients in France for years through its Google search engine.</blockquote><br />

=== Google Forced To Pay 13m of 6.4bn profits BUT Manages To Reduce The Amount ===<br />
<br />
While we can clearly see such a deal is inadequate:<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
It is hard to believe that £13m tax payment on $6.4bn turnover is an adequate tax bill. It feels more like a PR deal designed to counter the reputational damage created by Google failing to pay a fair share of tax on the profits it makes from its economic activity in the UK.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
From https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jan/23/google-paying-back-tax-only-a-beginning<br />
<br />
We can then shortly see that the amount was even not completely true or paid by Google!<br />
<br />
<blockquote>The company’s accounts show that the government was only able to claw back less than £100m in corporation tax from Google for the 2005-2014 period, and not the £130m the chancellor claimed.</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>In its Google Academics Inc report, the CfA identified 329 research papers published between 2005 and 2017 on public policy that the company had funded. Such studies have been authored by academics and economists from some of the world’s leading institutions including Oxford, Edinburgh, Stanford, Harvard, MIT and the Berlin School of Economics.<br />
<br />
Academics were directly funded by Google in more than half of the cases and in the rest of the cases funded indirectly by groups or institutions supported by Google, the CfA said. Authors, who were paid between $5,000 and $400,000 (£3,900-£310,000) by Google, did not disclose the source of their funding in 66% of all cases, and in 26% of those cases directly funded by Google, according to the report.</blockquote><br />

<div>=='''Replacements, Alternatives to Google Products and Services'''==<br />
<br />
Google’s products (e.g. the Android operating system) and services (search engine, YouTube, Google Mail, etc.) aggregate user data on a massive scale. This data is used to present users with a personalized experience, or in other words, a filter bubble of search results and targeted advertising. There is an obvious potential for abuse, but it’s more subtle than that.<br />
<br />
This “filter bubble” not only exploits our tastes, experiences, behaviours, biases and turn them into revenue, it also blocks everyone from having some "neutral" (or common) vision of what exists over the internet, therefore reinforcing biases and polarizations. Furthermore, it manipulates people into habitual use of their products. Just try to observe yourself when you are bored or depressed: Can you resist the compulsion to visit YouTube for that instant reward?<br />
<br />
This opaque capacity to influence what people may or may not see (besides the anti-competitive behaviour it represents when the same company owns the advertisement market) is overall an immense political power we cannot tolerate nor let unaccounted for. It silently puts Google and other companies above the law. Remember: Any profit-oriented business is only as lawful and ethical as it needs to be in order to avoid prosecution. It’s a calculated risk. The line needs to be drawn by us, the consumers.<br />
<br />
The fact that it is hard for most people to escape Google’s grasp itself is worrying. Hence, this page is used to gather alternatives to Google products and services which respect user privacy.<br />
<br />
''It is though dangerous to think in terms of "alternatives", like the goal was to reach equivalence to what Google offers (and risk to always lag behind). In reality what we want is *better* services than the ones of Google, because they would rest on *better* principles, such as decentralization/distribution of services, end-to-end encryption, uncompromising free/libre software, etc.''<br />
<br />
While presenting these "alternatives" or "replacements" here, we must keep in mind that the true goal is to achieve proper distribution/decentralization of information and communication, and empower people to understand and control where their information goes.<br />

<br />
A more generic guide about privacy and tools: https://www.privacytools.io/<br />
<br />
== Self-hosting ==<br />
<br />
Self-hosting (running one's own services on one own's server) may be the ''one-and-only'' way -on a political and on a technological perspective- to get rid of centralized services and some other potential sources of eavesdropping. Self-hosting is not accessible to everyone, as it requires some resources and experience to set-up (yet everyone has a potential to start learning it). Yet, pretty much the same way you do not have to learn to become a farmer before getting fruits and vegetables grown in a fair and respectful way, self-hosting is often practiced in a mutualized way: to the scale of a bunch of friends, of a collective, a company, a university, a city... or a neighborhood?<br />
<br />
An '''amazing''' list of free/libre software for self-hosting: https://github.com/Kickball/awesome-selfhosted/blob/master/README.md<br />
<br />
==Search Engines==<br />
<br />
https://searx.info (meta-search engine, free/libre software. just one instance of many: https://searx.dk https://search.disroot.org etc. full list of instances on http://stats.searx.oe5tpo.com/)<br />
<br />
https://www.duckduckgo.com (centralized, US company)<br />
<br />
https://www.metager.de (open source, privacy-focused search run by a non-profit NGO)<br />
<br />
==Email Providers==<br />
<br />
===posteo.de=== <br />
Very good email provider. 1 Euro per month, no spam, no bullshit, just email. Posteo is based in Berlin and has a political agenda in regards to privacy protection. So they have encrypted servers and so on. <br />
Also see: https://posteo.de/en/site/features<br />
=== mailbox.org===<br />
Very good email provider. 1 Euro per month, no spam, no bullshit, just email. Mailbox is based in Germany and has a political agenda in regards to privacy protection. So they have encrypted servers and so on.<br />
Also see: https://mailbox.org/sichere-email/<br />
===protonmail.com===<br />
End-to-end encrypted email based in Switzerland. No logging. Complete anonymity. Open source and funded by the community, not ads. The free account offers 500MB storage and 150 emails per day. Paid plans are also available.<br />
Also see: https://protonmail.com/<br />
<br />
===riseup.net===<br />
Full disk encryption, personally encrypted email storage and many more fantastic features. Check out https://riseup.net/en/email for more. Donate as you see fit for usage and apply for an account. High quality provider.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Mobile Operating Systems==<br />
<br />
[https://sailfishos.org/ Sailfish OS] — Based on open source, developed by Finnish company Jolla and the Sailfish OS community. Licensed devices come with a (proprietary) Android compatibility layer as a stop-gap solution to the relatively small amount of native apps.<br />
<br />
[https://puri.sm/shop/librem-5/ PureOS] — Privacy-focused operating system and mobile phone. Several choices for UI and software. Phone has CPU separate from baseband processor and hardware kill switches.<br />
<br />
[https://replicant.us Replicant] — AndroidOS without all the proprietary crap. Means it works only on some rather ancient devices and that some drivers are missing (GPU, Wifi, Bluetooth, etc.). Interesting project to help demonstrate how much Android relies on proprietary software to function, to debunk Google's myth that "Android is Free/libre software". '''Please note, you can order Replicant ready phones, post to anywhere, from the brilliant [https://autotelic.berlin/ Autotelic].'''<br />
<br />
==Maps and Navigation==<br />
<br />
'''OpenStreetmap'''! - It's just so much better than google maps! You can edit the map yourself and add roads, houses or stores. Whatever you find relevant. Have a look at:<br />
<br />
The map itself: https://www.openstreetmap.org<br />
<br />
For comparison to Google maps: http://tools.geofabrik.de/mc/<br />
<br />
For routing: https://graphhopper.com/maps/<br />
<br />
Download OpenStreetmap-Data: http://download.geofabrik.de/<br />
<br />
Integrate OpenStreetmap in your website (wordpress): https://wordpress.org/plugins/osm/<br />
<br />
===Arguments===<br />
<br />
Giving Google a list of all the places you go not only help them profile your income and your habits, but it also enables them to target advertisement to you (according to where you may go) or predict your next moves. These data are invaluable for instance for insurance or transport companies to whom google may sell them. Geolocation data stored in Google servers, could potentially be used to incriminate people (you *were* at this protest, weren't you? You were not sick at home that day? etc.)<br />
<br />
OpenStreetMap is entirely non-profit and contributive. With it people can (re)appropriate the map and the territory, and invent new uses for it (like disaster recovery in Haïti that abundantly used OSM). Inhabitants of small, isolated places can together get to much better cartography than what is of Google's financial interests. Data from OSM can be reused in each and every possible way, with no licensing conditions subjected to further changes.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Docs and Sheets==<br />
<br />
-'''Etherpad''' For collaborative text editing<br />
<br />
-'''Mailbox Office''' If you have your email account at mailbox you also have a browser based office suite included: <br />
https://mailbox.org/ihr-office/<br />
<br />
-'''LibreOffice Online''' Use libreoffice on the website directly:<br />
https://www.rollapp.com/libreoffice<br />
<br />
-'''LibreOffice (offline)''' The installed program libreoffice can open and save documents directly from servers (ssh, ftp), WebDAV ans so on<br />
Also see: https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Using_Remote_Files_1/pl<br />
<br />
-'''Collabora Online''' Run an online office suite on your own server<br />
Also see: https://www.collaboraoffice.com/code/<br />
<br />
===Arguments===<br />
<br />
Using google's sheets and docs for your organizing is literally storing all your data with them complete with edit history of all collaborators.<br />
<br />
==Browser==<br />
Use Firefox, for example, to avoid worst Google-Spying on you. The Chrome Browser has several tracking functionalities that spy on user browsing behaviour:<br />
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome#User_tracking<br />
<br />
Google also connects data generated from the Google browser with other personal data it has gathered with other Google services.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Helpful Browser-Plugins for Firefox===<br />
<br />
-'''Privacy Badger''': <br />
It prevents cookies and trackers that spy on your browsing behaviour. You can choose which trackers are allowed to track you and which ones are not. For example, it is recommended to deactivate all Trackers by Google (e.G. Google Analytics) and by Facebook (share buttons and so on)<br />
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/privacy-badger17/<br />
<br />
- '''HTTPS Everywhere''':<br />
https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere<br />
<br />
- '''uBlock Origin''':<br />
https://www.ublock.org/<br />
<br />
-'''User Agent Switcher''': <br />
This Addon will fake your browser randomly. So after a few minutes it switches browser and operating system. At least it seams like that for websites you are presently surfing on. This makes it very hard for websites to track you according the information you give them in connection to your browser and your operating system.<br />
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/user-agent-switcher/<br />
<br />
===Arguments===<br />
<br />
Google's business model is based on selling YOUR personal and private data. It's called data mining and is a malicious business model!<br />
<br />
Yet, Firefox is *far* from being perfect: Firefox without extensions is as vulnerable to data-harvesting as any other browser. Management of cookies is really cumbersome, and they are accepted by default. Also by default are accepted ads, cross-site scripting and all these features of "modern" web that makes tracking easy. + Mozilla boasts about defending people's privacy when in reality they didn't do much to change anything about this (Isn't Google even still their default search engine, after years of collecting their money?), as for their implicit acceptance of DRM in HTML5...<br />
<br />
<br />
==Translation==<br />
<br />
[https://deepl.com/translator Deepl translator] Works MUCH better than Google Translate, and is accessible via tor.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Google Earth==<br />
Marble - It's a globe like Google Earth but with multiple maps you can choose from. For example historic maps, OpenStreetmap. You can even change the globe to moon or Venus or other planets. Great piece of software!<br />
Also see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marble_(software)<br />
<br />
===Arguments===<br />
-Google Earth is a closed source software<br />
-Google Earth collects data about what people search and combines this information with the general personal-data-database<br />
<br />
<br />
==Social Network==<br />
Google+ is a social network by Google. It is a competitor to Facebook or LinkedIn. All of these services make money from personal user data.<br />
<br />
<br />
-'''Diaspora''' A decentralized social network. Open Source. Works perfectly. Compatible with Friendica. Find servers you can sign on:<br />
https://podupti.me/<br />
<br />
-'''Friendica''' A decentralized social network. Open Source. Works perfectly. Compatible with Diaspora. Find servers you can sign on:<br />
https://dir.friendica.social/servers<br />
<br />
-'''Gnu-Social''' A decentralized social network. Open Source. Works perfectly.<br />
Also see: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Social<br />
<br />
-'''Mastodon''' A decentralized social network with an active user base spread out over many instances. Open Source. Works perfectly.<br />
Also see: https://joinmastodon.org<br />
<br />
<br />
Alternatives to Google+ (and Facebook):<br />

<div>In the air of Silicon Valley, Google grew into the remnants of 1968 counter-culture, and is among those companies that managed to pervert its positive ideals in ways that aren't always easy to deconstruct, but what use are apparently progressive office cultures if the end result is the subjection of mankind? Is Google pacifying its employees into a belief they are not being evil by accomodating for apparent progressive policies within the office? How ironic, if the only "good" thing they are doing turns out to be illegal? Are they harming progressive culture by instrumentalizing it?<br />
<br />

<br />
* https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2018-01-12/silicon-valley-will-pay-the-price-for-its-lefty-leanings<br />
<br />
=== "But you also have to look at the positive side" ===<br />
<br />
No you don't. This is a journalistic cliché that there's good to every story and they need to show both sides. So far there is nothing good about Google. If you look at it long enough, you will find out it is ultimately ethically flawed. So please reject this meme, this fallacy that Google is also doing any good. So they are doing amazing transhumanist research using the money they never should have earned? Well, there are two problems with that observation.<br />
<br />
=== Google And Elections ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
The electoral rules are a total farce if they allow one party with a lot of cash to hijack Internet searches for other parties' manifestos with brutally dishonest attack adverts, but even if this thing is technically legal, Google has no actual obligation to take the Tory cash and help them subvert democracy. '''If Google had any company ethics whatever''', they'd specify that political Google searches during democratic elections are off limits for sponsored adverts, especially sponsored adverts from rival political parties.<br />

Information<br />
------------------------------<br />
Admit it: you don't really read the endless terms and conditions connected to every website you visit, phone call you make or app you download. But every day, billion-dollar corporations are learning more about your interests, your friends and family, your finances, and your secrets... and are not only selling the information to the highest bidder, but freely sharing it with the government. And you agreed to all of it. With fascinating examples and so-unbelievable-they're-almost-funny facts, filmmaker Cullen Hoback exposes what governments and corporations are legally taking from you every day - turning the future of both privacy and civil liberties uncertain. From whistle blowers and investigative journalists to zombie fan clubs and Egyptian dissidents, this disquieting exposé demonstrates how every one of us has incrementally opted-in to a real-time surveillance state, click by click- and what, if anything, can be done about it.<br />

Im Jahr 1995 verhaftete das FBI den berühmt-berüchtigten "Unabomber" Ted Kaczynski, der mit seinen Terrorakten gegen die zunehmende Technologisierung der Welt kämpfen wollte. Lutz Dammbeck spürt in seinem Dokumentarfilm der Frage nach, inwiefern Kaczynskis Haltung mit der Arbeit von berühmten Mathematikern, Physikern, Kybernetik-Wissenschaftlern und Multimediakünstlern zusammenhängt bzw. davon beeinflusst wurde – und inwiefern seine Taten ein Resultat der zunehmenden Vernetzung der Welt sind. <br />

== We're Building a Dystopia Just to Make People Click On Ads ==<br />
<br />
However opposed to the dreaded 'TED Talk McOptimism' we may be, this is a solid overview of where we're at:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>We're building an artificial intelligence-powered dystopia, one click at a time, says techno-sociologist Zeynep Tufekci. In an eye-opening talk, she details how the same algorithms companies like Facebook, '''Google''' and Amazon use to get you to click on ads are also used to organize your access to political and social information. And the machines aren't even the real threat. What we need to understand is how the powerful might use AI to control us -- and what we can do in response.</blockquote><br />

Sociopolitical, Technology Documentary hosted by Cullen Hoback, published by Variance Films in 2013 - English narration<br />
<br />
Information<br />
------------------------------<br />
Admit it: you don't really read the endless terms and conditions connected to every website you visit, phone call you make or app you download. But every day, billion-dollar corporations are learning more about your interests, your friends and family, your finances, and your secrets... and are not only selling the information to the highest bidder, but freely sharing it with the government. And you agreed to all of it. With fascinating examples and so-unbelievable-they're-almost-funny facts, filmmaker Cullen Hoback exposes what governments and corporations are legally taking from you every day - turning the future of both privacy and civil liberties uncertain. From whistle blowers and investigative journalists to zombie fan clubs and Egyptian dissidents, this disquieting exposé demonstrates how every one of us has incrementally opted-in to a real-time surveillance state, click by click- and what, if anything, can be done about it.<br />

== Das Netz (2004) ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Das Netz.jpeg|100px|Das Netz Cover]]<br />
<br />
Im Jahr 1995 verhaftete das FBI den berühmt-berüchtigten "Unabomber" Ted Kaczynski, der mit seinen Terrorakten gegen die zunehmende Technologisierung der Welt kämpfen wollte. Lutz Dammbeck spürt in seinem Dokumentarfilm der Frage nach, inwiefern Kaczynskis Haltung mit der Arbeit von berühmten Mathematikern, Physikern, Kybernetik-Wissenschaftlern und Multimediakünstlern zusammenhängt bzw. davon beeinflusst wurde – und inwiefern seine Taten ein Resultat der zunehmenden Vernetzung der Welt sind. <br />

== We're Building a Dystopia Just to Make People Click On Ads ==<br />
<br />
However against we may be, of the dreaded 'TED X McOptimism', this is a solid overview of where we're at:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>We're building an artificial intelligence-powered dystopia, one click at a time, says techno-sociologist Zeynep Tufekci. In an eye-opening talk, she details how the same algorithms companies like Facebook, '''Google''' and Amazon use to get you to click on ads are also used to organize your access to political and social information. And the machines aren't even the real threat. What we need to understand is how the powerful might use AI to control us -- and what we can do in response.</blockquote><br />

<div>='''Alternatives to Google Products and Services'''=<br />
<br />
Google’s products (e.g. the Android operating system) and services (search engine, YouTube, Google Mail, etc.) aggregate user data on a massive scale. This data is used to present users with a personalized experience, or in other words, a filter bubble of search results and targeted advertising. There is an obvious potential for abuse, but it’s more subtle than that.<br />
<br />
This “filter bubble” not only exploits our tastes, experiences, behaviours, biases and turn them into revenue, it also blocks everyone from having some "neutral" (or common) vision of what exists over the internet, therefore reinforcing biases and polarizations. Furthermore, it manipulates people into habitual use of their products. Just try to observe yourself when you are bored or depressed: Can you resist the compulsion to visit YouTube for that instant reward?<br />
<br />
This opaque capacity to influence what people may or may not see (besides the anti-competitive behaviour it represents when the same company owns the advertisement market) is overall an immense political power we cannot tolerate nor let unaccounted for. It silently puts Google and other companies above the law. Remember: Any profit-oriented business is only as lawful and ethical as it needs to be in order to avoid prosecution. It’s a calculated risk. The line needs to be drawn by us, the consumers.<br />
<br />
The fact that it is hard for most people to escape Google’s grasp itself is worrying. Hence, this page is used to gather alternatives to Google products and services which respect user privacy.<br />
<br />
==Mobile Operating Systems==<br />
<br />
[https://sailfishos.org/ Sailfish OS] — Based on open source, developed by Finnish company Jolla and the Sailfish OS community. Licensed devices come with a (proprietary) Android compatibility layer as a stop-gap solution to the relatively small amount of native apps.<br />
<br />
[https://puri.sm/shop/librem-5/ PureOS] — Privacy-focused operating system and mobile phone. Several choices for UI and software. Phone has CPU separate from baseband processor and hardware kill switches.<br />

<br />

===riseup.net===<br />
Full disk encryption, personally encrypted email storage and many more fantastic features. Check out https://riseup.net/en/email for more. Donate as you see fit for usage and apply for an account. High quality provider.<br />
<br />
==Maps and Navigation==<br />
<br />
'''OpenStreetmap'''! - It's just so much better than google maps! You can edit the map yourself and add roads, houses or stores. Whatever you find relevant. Have a look at:<br />
<br />
The map itself: https://www.openstreetmap.org<br />
<br />
For comparison to Google maps: http://tools.geofabrik.de/mc/<br />
<br />
For routing: https://graphhopper.com/maps/<br />
<br />
Download OpenStreetmap-Data: http://download.geofabrik.de/<br />
<br />
Integrate OpenStreetmap in your website (wordpress): https://wordpress.org/plugins/osm/<br />
<br />
===Arguments===<br />
<br />
Giving Google a list of all the places you go not only help them profile your income and your habits, but it also enables them to target advertisement to you (according to where you may go) or predict your next moves. These data are invaluable for instance for insurance or transport companies to whom google may sell them. Geolocation data stored in Google servers, could potentially be used to incriminate people (you *were* at this protest, weren't you? You were not sick at home that day? etc.)<br />
<br />
OpenStreetMap is entirely non-profit and contributive. With it people can (re)appropriate the map and the territory, and invent new uses for it (like disaster recovery in Haïti that abundantly used OSM). Inhabitants of small, isolated places can together get to much better cartography than what is of Google's financial interests. Data from OSM can be reused in each and every possible way, with no licensing conditions subjected to further changes.<br />
<br />
==Docs and Sheets==<br />
<br />
-'''Etherpad''' For collaborative text editing<br />
<br />
-'''Mailbox Office''' If you have your email account at mailbox you also have a browser based office suite included: <br />
https://mailbox.org/ihr-office/<br />
<br />
-'''LibreOffice Online''' Use libreoffice on the website directly:<br />
https://www.rollapp.com/libreoffice<br />
<br />
-'''LibreOffice (offline)''' The installed program libreoffice can open and save documents directly from servers (ssh, ftp), WebDAV ans so on<br />
Also see: https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Using_Remote_Files_1/pl<br />
<br />
-'''Collabora Online''' Run an online office suite on your own server<br />
Also see: https://www.collaboraoffice.com/code/<br />
<br />
===Arguments===<br />
<br />
Using google's sheets and docs for your organizing is literally storing all your data with them complete with edit history of all collaborators.<br />
<br />
==Browser==<br />
Use Firefox for example to avoid worst Google-Spying on you. The Chrome Browser has several tracking functionalities, that spy on user browsing behaviour:<br />
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome#User_tracking<br />
<br />
Google also connects data generated from the google browser with other personal data it has gathered with other google services.<br />
<br />
===Helpful Browser-Plugins for Firefox===<br />
<br />
-'''Privacy Badger''': <br />
It prevents cookies and trackers to spy on your browsing behaviour. You can choose, which trackers are alowed to track you and which ones are not. For example it is recommended do de-activate all Trackers by Google (e.G. google Analytics) and by Facebook (share buttons and so on)<br />
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/privacy-badger17/<br />
<br />
- '''HTTPS Everywhere''':<br />
https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere<br />
<br />
- '''uBlock Origin''':<br />
https://www.ublock.org/<br />
<br />
-'''User Agent Switcher''': <br />
This Addon will fake your browser randomly. So after a few minutes it switches browser and operating system. At least it seams like that for websites you are presently surfing on. This makes it very hard for websites to track you according the information you give them in connection to your browser and your operating system.<br />
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/user-agent-switcher/<br />
<br />
===Arguments===<br />
<br />
Google's business model is based on selling YOUR personal and private data. It's called data mining and is a malicious business model!<br />
<br />
Yet, Firefox is *far* from being perfect: Firefox without extensions is as vulnerable to data-harvesting as any other browser. Management of cookies is really cumbersome, and they are accepted by default. Also by default are accepted ads, cross-site scripting and all these features of "modern" web that makes tracking easy. + Mozilla boasts about defending people's privacy when in reality they didn't do much to change anything about this (Isn't Google even still their default search engine, after years of collecting their money?), as for their implicit acceptance of DRM in HTML5...<br />
<br />
==Translation==<br />
<br />
To do<br />
<br />
==Google earth==<br />
Marble - It's a globe like google earth but with multiple maps you can choose from. For example historic maps, OpenStreetmap. You can even change the globe to moon or venus or other planets. Great peace of software!<br />

<div>== How Google & Co are a threat to Democracy ==<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
Google was caught red-handed participating in NSA’s surveillance, which is both illegal under the U.S. constitutional framework(*), and conducive to a totalitarian world where self-censorship under one all-seeing eye prevents alternative futures from flourishing from collaborative creative efforts of individuals.<br />
<br />
Google’s business model of collecting all data and profiling everyone has set the trend towards generalized practices of mass-surveillance, normalized such practices, and punished those who try to evade constant surveillance (by sinking their time in training Google's AI on Google Scholar, for example).<br />
<br />
Our behaviors, our intimate connections, actions and emotions Google is commodifying and profiting from. We are reduced to a resource and stunted in development as persons and communities capable of meaningful choice, in exchange for colorful convenient toys. <br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
(*) Constitutions of democracies worldwide are affected by this general attack on secrecy of correspondence and freedom of assembly in the digital age. In theory, your local government is in charge of protecting your population from outside forces threatening your constitutional democratic order, but our system of jurisprudence is such that you can only punish a government for doing something unlawful, you cannot easily punish it for not doing anything. So it depends on us to take to the streets, make a campaign, start a movement that demands the introduction of laws that technically impede surveillance -- for example by making end-to-end encryption and metadata protection *mandatory* for all digital communications, thus forbidding Google & friends from having access to them.<br />

== NSA PRISM program taps in to user data of Apple, Google and others ==<br />
<br />
PRISM integrates corporate cloud systems into XKEYSCORE, the NSA search engine encompassing all private data of digital humanity, including access to the Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, Skype, Yahoo, Youtube and other PRISM partners. According to leaked slides it has access to e-mail, chat, photos, videos, stored data, file transfers, login activity, social networking ("personal details", "pattern of life", "connections to associates"), telephony (both on and off the Internet) and video conferencing. Passwords are used as a way to identify multiple accounts of the same person, as people frequently use the same password across platforms even when varying usernames.<br />

== Google, not GCHQ, is the truly chilling spy network - The Guardian, John Naughton ==<br />

<blockquote>"how the United States intelligence community funded, nurtured and incubated Google as part of a drive to dominate the world through control of information. Seed-funded by the NSA and CIA, Google was merely the first among a plethora of private sector start-ups co-opted by US intelligence to retain ‘information superiority.’"</blockquote><br />

== How American government got a grip on digital technology ==<br />
<br />
Up into the 80's, all of the technological world attempted its own designs of computers and operating systems, but during the 90's the USA has established a worldwide dominance in operating systems from Microsoft Windows and MacOS to today's Apple iOS and Google Android. While predicating the principles of free market and deregulation to the rest of the world, the US was silently adamant in actually subsidizing technological start-ups well enough to kick other nations out of business.<br />

<hr />
<div>='''Alternatives to Google Products and Services'''=<br />
<br />
Google’s products (e.g. the Android operating system) and services (search engine, YouTube, Google Mail, etc.) aggregate user data on a massive scale. This data is used to present users with a personalized experience, or in other words, a filter bubble of search results and targeted advertising. There is an obvious potential for abuse, but it’s more subtle than that.<br />
<br />
This “filter bubble” not only exploits our tastes, experiences, behaviours, biases and turn them into revenue, it also blocks everyone from having some "neutral" (or common) vision of what exists over the internet, therefore reinforcing biases and polarizations. Furthermore, it manipulates people into habitual use of their products. Just try to observe yourself when you are bored or depressed: Can you resist the compulsion to visit YouTube for that instant reward?<br />
<br />
This opaque capacity to influence what people may or may not see (besides the anti-competitive behaviour it represents when the same company owns the advertisement market) is overall an immense political power we cannot tolerate nor let unaccounted for. It silently puts Google and other companies above the law. Remember: Any profit-oriented business is only as lawful and ethical as it needs to be in order to avoid prosecution. It’s a calculated risk. The line needs to be drawn by us, the consumers.<br />
<br />
The fact that it is hard for most people to escape Google’s grasp itself is worrying. Hence, this page is used to gather alternatives to Google products and services which respect user privacy.<br />
<br />
==Mobile Operating Systems==<br />
<br />
[https://sailfishos.org/ Sailfish OS] — Based on open source, developed by Finnish company Jolla and the Sailfish OS community. Licensed devices come with a (proprietary) Android compatibility layer as a stop-gap solution to the relatively small amount of native apps.<br />
<br />
[https://puri.sm/shop/librem-5/ PureOS] — Privacy-focused operating system and mobile phone. Several choices for UI and software. Phone has CPU separate from baseband processor and hardware kill switches.<br />

==Email Providers==<br />
<br />
===posteo.de=== <br />
Very good email provider. 1 Euro per month, no spam, no bullshit, just email. Posteo is based in Berlin and has a political agenda in reagards to privacy protection. So they have encrypted servers and so on. <br />
Also see: https://posteo.de/en/site/features<br />

Very good email provider. 1 Euro per month, no spam, no bullshit, just email. Mailbox is based in Germany and has a political agenda in reagards to privacy protection. So they have encrypted servers and so on.<br />

TODO<br />
===riseup.net===<br />
Full disk encryption, personally encrypted email storage and many more fantastic features. Check out https://riseup.net/en/email for more. Donate as you see fit for usage and apply for an account. High quality provider.<br />
<br />
==Maps and Navigation==<br />
<br />
'''OpenStreetmap'''! - It's just so much better than google maps! You can edit the map yourself and add roads, houses or stores. Whatever you find relevant. Have a look at:<br />
<br />
The map itself: https://www.openstreetmap.org<br />
<br />
For comparison to Google maps: http://tools.geofabrik.de/mc/<br />
<br />
For routing: https://graphhopper.com/maps/<br />
<br />
Download OpenStreetmap-Data: http://download.geofabrik.de/<br />
<br />
Integrate OpenStreetmap in your website (wordpress): https://wordpress.org/plugins/osm/<br />
<br />
===Arguments===<br />
<br />
Giving Google a list of all the places you go not only help them profile your income and your habits, but it also enables them to target advertisement to you (according to where you may go) or predict your next moves. These data are invaluable for instance for insurance or transport companies to whom google may sell them. Geolocation data stored in Google servers, could potentially be used to incriminate people (you *were* at this protest, weren't you? You were not sick at home that day? etc.)<br />
<br />
OpenStreetMap is entirely non-profit and contributive. With it people can (re)appropriate the map and the territory, and invent new uses for it (like disaster recovery in Haïti that abundantly used OSM). Inhabitants of small, isolated places can together get to much better cartography than what is of Google's financial interests. Data from OSM can be reused in each and every possible way, with no licensing conditions subjected to further changes.<br />
<br />
==Docs and Sheets==<br />
<br />
-'''Etherpad''' For collaborative text editing<br />
<br />
-'''Mailbox Office''' If you have your email account at mailbox you also have a browser based office suite included: <br />
https://mailbox.org/ihr-office/<br />
<br />
-'''LibreOffice Online''' Use libreoffice on the website directly:<br />
https://www.rollapp.com/libreoffice<br />
<br />
-'''LibreOffice (offline)''' The installed program libreoffice can open and save documents directly from servers (ssh, ftp), WebDAV ans so on<br />
Also see: https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Using_Remote_Files_1/pl<br />
<br />
-'''Collabora Online''' Run an online office suite on your own server<br />
Also see: https://www.collaboraoffice.com/code/<br />
<br />
===Arguments===<br />
<br />
Using google's sheets and docs for your organizing is literally storing all your data with them complete with edit history of all collaborators.<br />
<br />
==Browser==<br />
Use Firefox for example to avoid worst Google-Spying on you. The Chrome Browser has several tracking functionalities, that spy on user browsing behaviour:<br />
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome#User_tracking<br />
<br />
Google also connects data generated from the google browser with other personal data it has gathered with other google services.<br />
<br />
===Helpful Browser-Plugins for Firefox===<br />
<br />
-'''Privacy Badger''': <br />
It prevents cookies and trackers to spy on your browsing behaviour. You can choose, which trackers are alowed to track you and which ones are not. For example it is recommended do de-activate all Trackers by Google (e.G. google Analytics) and by Facebook (share buttons and so on)<br />
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/privacy-badger17/<br />
<br />
-'''User Agent Switcher''': <br />
This Addon will fake your browser randomly. So after a few minutes it switches browser and operating system. At least it seams like that for websites you are presently surfing on. This makes it very hard for websites to track you according the information you give them in connection to your browser and your operating system.<br />
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/user-agent-switcher/<br />
<br />
===Arguments===<br />
<br />
Google's business model is based on selling YOUR personal and private data. It's called data mining and is a malicious business model!<br />
<br />
Yet, Firefox is *far* from being perfect: Firefox without extensions is as vulnerable to data-harvesting as any other browser. Management of cookies is really cumbersome, and they are accepted by default. Also by default are accepted ads, cross-site scripting and all these features of "modern" web that makes tracking easy. + Mozilla boasts about defending people's privacy when in reality they didn't do much to change anything about this (Isn't Google even still their default search engine, after years of collecting their money?), as for their implicit acceptance of DRM in HTML5...<br />
<br />
==Translation==<br />
<br />
To do<br />
<br />
==Google earth==<br />
Marble - It's a globe like google earth but with multiple maps you can choose from. For example historic maps, OpenStreetmap. You can even change the globe to moon or venus or other planets. Great peace of software!<br />

<div>== How Google & Co are a threat to Democracy ==<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
Google was caught red-handed participating in NSA’s surveillance, which is both illegal under the U.S. constitutional framework(*), and conducive to a totalitarian world where self-censorship under one all-seeing eye prevents alternative futures from flourishing from collaborative creative efforts of individuals.<br />
<br />
Google’s business model of collecting all data and profiling everyone has set the trend towards generalized practices of mass-surveillance, normalized such practices, and punished those who try to evade constant surveillance (by sinking their time in training Google's AI on Google Scholar, for example).<br />
<br />
Our behaviors, our intimate connections, actions and emotions Google is commodifying and profiting from. We are reduced to a resource and stunted in development as persons and communities capable of meaningful choice, in exchange for colorful convenient toys. <br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
(*) Constitutions of democracies worldwide are affected by this general attack on secrecy of correspondence and freedom of assembly in the digital age. In theory, your local government is in charge of protecting your population from outside forces threatening your constitutional democratic order, but our system of jurisprudence is such that you can only punish a government for doing something unlawful, you cannot easily punish it for not doing anything. So it depends on us to take to the streets, make a campaign, start a movement that demands the introduction of laws that technically impede surveillance -- for example by making end-to-end encryption and metadata protection *mandatory* for all digital communications, thus forbidding Google & friends from having access to them.<br />
<br />
<br />
== NSA PRISM program taps in to user data of Apple, Google and others ==<br />
<br />
PRISM integrates corporate cloud systems into XKEYSCORE, the NSA search engine encompassing all private data of digital humanity, including access to the Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, Skype, Yahoo, Youtube and other PRISM partners. According to leaked slides it has access to e-mail, chat, photos, videos, stored data, file transfers, login activity, social networking ("personal details", "pattern of life", "connections to associates"), telephony (both on and off the Internet) and video conferencing. Passwords are used as a way to identify multiple accounts of the same person, as people frequently use the same password across platforms even when varying usernames.<br />

== Google, not GCHQ, is the truly chilling spy network - The Guardian, John Naughton ==<br />
<br />
<blockquote>"how the United States intelligence community funded, nurtured and incubated Google as part of a drive to dominate the world through control of information. Seed-funded by the NSA and CIA, Google was merely the first among a plethora of private sector start-ups co-opted by US intelligence to retain ‘information superiority.’"</blockquote><br />

== How American government got a grip on digital technology ==<br />
<br />
Up into the 80's, all of the technological world attempted its own designs of computers and operating systems, but during the 90's the USA has established a worldwide dominance in operating systems from Microsoft Windows and MacOS to today's Apple iOS and Google Android. While predicating the principles of free market and deregulation to the rest of the world, the US was silently adamant in actually subsidizing technological start-ups well enough to kick other nations out of business.<br />

== Google, not GCHQ, is the truly chilling spy network - The Guardian, John Naughton ==<br />
<br />
<blockquote>"how the United States intelligence community funded, nurtured and incubated Google as part of a drive to dominate the world through control of information. Seed-funded by the NSA and CIA, Google was merely the first among a plethora of private sector start-ups co-opted by US intelligence to retain ‘information superiority.’"</blockquote><br />

== How American government got a grip on digital technology ==<br />
<br />
Up into the 80's, all of the technological world attempted its own designs of computers and operating systems, but during the 90's the USA has established a worldwide dominance in operating systems from Microsoft Windows and MacOS to today's Apple iOS and Google Android. While predicating the principles of free market and deregulation to the rest of the world, the US was silently adamant in actually subsidizing technological start-ups well enough to kick other nations out of business.<br />

Oracle, the market leader in database technology that produced one of the richest people on the planet, was named after a CIA program.<br />

<br />
The NSA has been collecting more or less all e-mails, phone calls and SMS text messages since the creation of the Internet. In 1995, as the Internet started becoming popular, the US government made a strategic decision to keep total control of digital networking.<br />

"The US was the major player in shaping today's Internet. This resulted in pervasive exportation of American culture as well as technology. It also resulted in a lot of money being made by US entities."<br />

<br />
It is then that the CIA financed the research of some Stanford students regarding the PageRank algorithm, essentially funding the creation of Google. With such powerful ability to find needles in the haystack of the web, the secret services also wanted such a tool for all of the e-mails and text messages. Journalist Nafeez Ahmed has researched, how Google empowered the NSA to become the gigantic beast it is today.<br />

<br />
It is no surprise that Silicon Valley companies have<br />
a long tradition of friendly collaboration with the<br />
secret services that are among their best customers.<br />

<br />
The impressive effectiveness of the PRISM program is<br />
a result of that, but there are earlier cases like<br />
IBM allowing the NSA to have a backdoor in Lotus<br />
Notes in 1999 or Microsoft being caught with the mysterious _NSAKEY.<br />

<br />
In rare cases, when technologies arise out of the control of the US government, an American company quickly acquires such technology. Skype originally provided video telephony that the secret services were unable to decrypt. So, eBay bought Skype from the Estonians even though it never really had a business model for it. This way Skype became an American company, and got integrated into NSA's PRISM surveillance program.<br />

== Google and Surveillance Capitalism ==<br />
<br />
From the Wikipedia page[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surveillance_capitalism]:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>Surveillance capitalism is a term used and popularized by academic Shoshana Zuboff that denotes a new genus of capitalism that monetizes data acquired through surveillance. According to Zuboff, surveillance capitalism emerged due to the "coupling of the vast powers of the digital with the radical indifference and intrinsic narcissism of the financial capitalism and its neoliberal vision that have dominated commerce for at least three decades, especially in the Anglo economies" and depends on the global architecture of computer mediation which produces a distributed and largely uncontested new expression of power she calls 'Big Other'. '''She states it was first discovered and consolidated at Google''', being to surveillance capitalism what Ford and General Motors were to mass-production and managerial capitalism a century ago, and later adopted by Facebook and others and that it uses illegible mechanisms of extraction, commodification, and control of behavior to produce new markets of behavioral prediction and modification.</blockquote><br />

<br />
At the beginning of next year, Google plans to open its seventh Google Campus worldwide at the Ohlauer Strasse substation.<br />
<br />
Google is not an innocent actor who only moves to Kreuzberg by chance. The company chose the substation because the neighbourhood was discovered as a resource for the tech industry: after the exploitation and transformation of the liberal San Francisco, it is now the turn of liberal Kreuzberg. This development is in its infancy, and it will affect all those who are still living here, but who cannot or do not want to participate in this transformation. That's why we protest against the move-in of Google.<br />
