Interestingly, I can still go to Google My Business
Looking through the nuclear lines with the ‘find’ function, I don’t see any accounting for business.google.com or www.business.google.com. Maybe if you add the lines to the file.
I, on the other hand, still can’t get the nuclear option to work at all. This time with a system reboot. All FB and Goog sites appear as normal. I don’t get it, but it’s definitely typical of my experiences with tech, which is why analog is more appealing by the year.

Re: 'Surveillance Capitalism'
Just installed uMatrix for FF. It’s quite slick. Not a ‘Nuclear’ copy/paste solution, but you can pretty much accomplish the same thing without messing about in a file. I’ll need to spend more time with it. This does limit your blocking to FF, though, but better than nothing.

Thanks, bici. Now I actually need to finish one of my dozen pieces in the works. A writer’s worst enemy is volunteering his time. heh.
That Zingaro one is a rare short article. I’d like to revisit it, in fact, and make better use of sentence word syntax, to clean out some of those many commas.

Bye-Bye Google. Degoogling.
And I can vouch for some of those accounts running you through a ridiculous number of steps. Evernote, for example, one of the first accounts I killed in my long list, was rather long. That was back in 2016. May have changed. It seems they all have their own particular process. It’s cracky.
I recently learned, though haven’t tried yet, that Amazon requires an actual phone call, or otherwise forget it. That will probably become the norm if the exodus from the robber barons catches on.

Bridle is actually an excellent speaker as well and I would recommend watching some of his talks online. Re his book, here’s a short interview produced by his publishers.
Thanks for the pointer, Yiannis. I haven’t known Bridle previously. Very interesting, particularly this line:
We’re now entering a time when machines are making decisions and we don’t understand why they’re making these decisions or how they came to those conclusions.

Re: 'Surveillance Capitalism'
I was heretofore unfamiliar with Bridle. After watching that very interesting YouTube Interview I have ordered his book, The New Dark Age: Technology and the End of the Future.

Bridle gave this talk to a bunch of tech capitalists about the time this thread was started, and I take some odd satisfaction from knowing that timing.
