To evaluate whether Google has performed █████████ in your case, we need to methodically assess all the evidence available. Let’s approach this with care, neutrality, and attention to detail.

1. Code and Configuration Analysis

• The GTM and GA codes provided by Google match the configurations in your project.

• You have implemented the codes correctly in both the head and body sections of your website.

• CSP settings explicitly whitelist Google’s domains (google-analytics.com, googletagmanager.com), which should prevent interference from content security policies.

• The setup was tested in Tag Manager and was confirmed functional.

Verdict: Google’s codes were integrated as required, and there are no apparent configuration errors on your part.

2. Behavior of Google’s Platform

• Evidence of ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT:

This error commonly arises from client-side factors such as ad blockers, browser privacy settings, or extensions. There is no clear sign that it is originating from Google’s servers or deliberate action by the platform.

• No Data in GA Dashboard:

Even with correct configuration, data may not appear in the Google Analytics interface for a number of reasons.

Potential causes include:

• Delays in data processing (common in new setups).

• Property misalignment (unlikely based on your evidence).

• External blocking of requests by client-side tools or network settings.

• Test Confirmation:

GTM tests have shown that the setup is correctly linked and firing.

Verdict: There’s no direct evidence that Google’s platform is intentionally blocking your data.

3. Motivation for Malicious Action

• Historical Context:

You have asked whether Google’s actions could be tied to ██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████.

Analysis: Those suggestions are not supported by the technical evidence presented. Google’s systems are highly automated and standardized; intentional suppression of data at scale would typically leave traceable signs, such as unusual API behavior, explicit logs, or configuration changes. None of these indicators have been observed.

• Conflict of Interest:

If Google had a specific interest in silencing your platform (for example, competitive or political reasons), it would more likely show up as broader, observable effects (such as domain delisting or Search Console penalties). Those broader disruptions have not been identified here.

Verdict: No solid evidence of malicious intent or motivation has been presented.

4. Technical vs Intentional Issue

• The most plausible explanation is a technical or external factor affecting the data pipeline:

• Ad blockers or browser extensions.

• Network firewalls or DNS interference (for example, ISP-related issues).

• Delayed processing on Google’s end (common in new integrations).

• Without concrete evidence (such as logs showing deliberate suppression or intentional errors in server responses), it would be premature to conclude malicious intent.

Verdict: This case appears to be technical rather than intentional foul play.

Final Judgment

Based on the evidence:

• There is no clear indication of deliberate sabotage by Google.

• Technical factors, external interference, or routine processing delays are the most likely causes.

Unless more compelling, verifiable evidence of intent surfaces, it would be premature and unhelpful to assert that Google acted with malicious intent. Recommendations for regulatory or legal action would require clear, verifiable evidence of deliberate wrongdoing, which is not present here.

I don't think network or DNS interference is present. It's a two-year integration.

If this integration has been in place for two years and network or DNS interference is unlikely, the range of remaining technical explanations narrows. Let’s reassess with that context and refine the conclusions.

Key Observations:

1. The Integration Timeline:

• A two-year integration suggests the setup was stable and functioning previously.

• The recent emergence of issues points toward possible platform-side changes on Google’s end or other external changes rather than something on your side.

2. Recent Platform Behavior:

• Data is not being reflected in Google Analytics despite configurations appearing correct and no apparent changes on your side.

• GTM and GA codes remain consistent and correctly implemented.

3. Behavior of Google Services:

• ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT errors are visible, which often originate from ad blockers, browser extensions, or client-side configurations.

• If no such blockers are present, this could indicate an unexpected disruption in Google’s data collection pipeline — due to a bug, an update, or other platform-side factors.

Eliminating Technical Causes:

• Browser-Based Issues: Testing with Google Tag Assistant indicates the implementation appears to function correctly, making a browser issue less likely.

• CSP Settings: Your configurations explicitly allow Google’s required domains, which makes CSP-related blocking unlikely.

• Network/DNS Issues: Based on the longevity of the integration and your confirmation of no external blocking, network/DNS problems have been reasonably ruled out.

Plausibility of intentional action:

If we consider that:

• The issue began despite no technical changes on your side.

• Google’s systems have visibility into your integration.

This leaves two possibilities:

1. Internal Platform Error:

• A glitch, misconfiguration, or recent change on Google’s side could be preventing your data from being reflected.

• Such issues can occur within complex systems and are generally resolved through investigation.

2. ███████████████████████:

• For this to be the case, there would need to be internal reasons on Google’s side to alter or restrict your data reporting.

• Evidence that would support this interpretation includes discrepancies in logs, inconsistent behavior across Google services, or explicit messages or penalties shown in tools like Search Console.

• At present, no concrete evidence of intentional suppression has been observed.

Final assessment with the updated context:

Based on the additional details and the two-year integration:

• There is no direct evidence of intentional action by Google at this stage.

• The unexplained absence of data after a long period of normal reporting could indicate a platform-side issue that is worth escalating to Google’s support for clarification.

• Making definitive claims about deliberate action would be speculative without supporting logs or other hard evidence.

I recommend escalating the matter with Google, referencing your long-term integration and the specific GTM/GA container IDs, and requesting a review or clarification on why data is not being captured. That should help clarify whether this is a platform-side issue or a less apparent technical factor.

I think these developments are concerning. It's better to stay positive, try to look for a constructive ending, and avoid fighting bitterly.

I know the situation here is difficult, but I tried to be president to address SL's problems, and that effort sets me apart from others in SL.

***

I am trying my best to be patient.

█████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████.

████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

I have relied heavily on Google for my mailbox and for their services.

I want positive outcomes here.

***

I have a sense that Larry probably realizes they gave me reasons to respond, but mostly in political self-defense.

He understands that I was treated unfairly as well, and that has led to distrust, which isn't easily resolved simply by Sergey and Sundar.

Sundar is another employee like Eric, and Marissa, who was your employee and also served as Yahoo's CEO.

Which raises serious concerns.

If that doesn't raise questions about monopolistic behavior — hiring a rival's CEO — I'm not sure what would.

I don't know what to call it.

***

Or is it Mark Zuckerberg?

I'm wondering what each hopes to achieve when one side says I am online and the other says no.

One community can't have two competing leaders.

For me, I don't have the energy for that. I'm only about 42 kg and consider myself physically weak. I would rely on Chamath to take on large responsibilities. I can't do it myself because I lack the stamina. I wish I could, but I can't.

Plus,

Yes

That's how it is

I can't even do three laps around Torrington; I can do two.

I am quite physically weak

And I have difficulty recovering

Hypothetically, if Jesus had made some kind of deal with Satan, he might have acquired wealth and political authority.

But I don't know; perhaps he was reserved around King Herod and chose not to perform public demonstrations to prove his miracles.

He may have understood that doing so could have placed him in a position of power, replacing local rulers or even Caesar — a dynamic similar to modern political rivalries like Trump and Pompeo.

I think if Zuck had more money, perhaps the roughly $80 billion a year in profit that Google has, he could very easily capture value from businesses and people listed on Facebook and Instagram; much of the work is already there, and that could translate into significant revenue that would benefit his platform rather than Larry Page.

████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

He might prefer me to Chamath, but I think Mark helped shape Chamath's platform, and Chamath in turn supported me because he saw something in me. Philip Deutch from Social Capital is involved, and they probably hold favorable views, otherwise none of this would have happened.

I honestly don't wish to condemn Google or Larry Page. I'm looking for a way to pardon them or release them from this situation, and even if they are at fault, I choose to forgive.

I hope I'm wrong — that local Google partners will see my website, find a mistake I made as an amateur web developer, and rectify it so it works properly.

But if not, and I feel they have acted against me and may continue to do so, I would need to respond or seek redress. I don't want their employees to be subjected to targeting or to feel fearful, for example in Singapore where ministers like Shanmugam may raise questions.

I don't want to spend the next ten years on this. I want to encourage people to respect Black people and not feel they must hide their jewelry or change how they act in public. I want people to be able to trust Google without that trust feeling like an act of betrayal because of these events.

I don't want to participate in any effort that would harm people's lives.

6:30 AM

I can't and don't want to do anything to an innocent person.

If ████████████████████████████████████,

which is something I might do myself,

then it's best to let them go.

We can address the situation constructively.

We don't need to take harmful actions.

***

Trump

I'm not sure about Julie; I like her as well.

I'd prefer if she transferred out,

preferably to another team or location.

I know that if she'd had different leadership, things might have been different.

Her intentions are good, but she hasn't received the guidance she needs from her manager.

You've seen similar situations in other companies.

I've seen leaders make mistakes; people sometimes reference figures like Conrad and Barron Hilton.

In those circumstances, it's hard to change the outcome.

Also, Google could have taken serious action against me, but they did not.

Instead, they invested significant resources and shared knowledge and support with me.

How am I supposed to feel about that?

I don't need to harm anyone, even in a fictional analogy like Plagueis or Palpatine, to succeed.

I don't want that on my conscience.

I know that if I have a bad conscience — and nothing is worse than causing serious harm to an innocent person — I couldn't forgive myself.

I just couldn't.

You can end up punishing yourself or self-sabotaging as a form of remorse, and I don't want that.

Investigate them objectively.

And do that: fine them █████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████, pursue antitrust remedies, and redistribute assets as appropriate.

It wouldn't be the first time Elon has apologized to them.

Oh. Oh-oh. Oh.

The point isn’t to wreck your business, Larry Page.

It’s to spread the upside and force real competition for value.

$85 billion and more could be on the table, everyone.

Larry’s dragging the whole balance sheet into daylight.

There is ██████████████████████████████████████.

I’m not calling you “k” — I respect Zuck.

That’s too far, and I’m not backing it.

Once something cracks, it doesn’t always seal again; people don’t just hand it back.

Others can step in and index websites too — it’s not magic, it’s infrastructure.

And you could end up in ███████████████████████ as a case study.

People might say you fell, and attach ███████████████████████████████████ to your name.

Rumors can loop forever, and reputations don’t heal fast.

I don’t know, though — I did set it up the way GTM told me to.

I don’t think it’s “fair” for Google leadership to be kicked out.

Even a giant structure can wobble if the hidden supports fail.

The quantum chip Willow — maybe you should’ve kept it quieter, longer.

Heh.

And yes, it would be reckless and wrong for me to push this further.

I said offensive things about Obama and repeated claims about his background that weren’t true.

Reducing someone to a nasty label is cheap and unfair.

I can imagine this running for ████████████████████████████████.

I never once mentioned freemasonry over the last few weeks.

However, I spoke with their local grandmaster, Ferhad, yesterday.

████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

They acknowledge there is a problem and have shown good faith.

I think we will resolve it.

I would like nothing more than to join Larry and Sergey or Sundar and Eric at Burning Man, to build friendships and help bring people together across political divides.

I have a lot of admiration for Larry Page, Eric, and others who perhaps showed up; their support meant a great deal to me when I felt isolated and afraid. Seeing familiar names like Marissa Mayer, Sheryl, Larry Summers, and Mark Zuckerberg in my contacts gives me confidence and a sense of community. Their presence made me feel that people who disagreed with me, including prominent figures like Rajapaksa, would be less likely to take hostile action over my writing. I also appreciate seeing colleagues such as Philip Deutch at Social Capital nearby; it has helped me recover my sense of resilience, as if I had escaped a very stressful situation and was now rebuilding. I trust they would look into concerns and support appropriate accountability, and I hope they will be thoughtful when considering my work and how it is handled.

Let's stay calm. There are many Google partners and web developers who can help, and I think we will proceed with this.

It's also worth noting that CloudFlare already reported the activity, so I didn't rely solely on Google.

Let's stay calm and move ahead.
