Google informs children when their parents are monitoring their account activity, the tech giant confirmed this month, with the company claiming that doing so is a way of balancing the interests of both parents and children.

This has been such a week or several weeks. Everything seems to be happening. Most of it not so good. And it ain’t over.
At such times, it is easy to become despondent. Americans are watching cherished institutions crumble in the face of leftist ideology: the FBI, the courts, election officials, the Justice Department, ballots in trucks, ballots in suitcases. No need to review that here.

Google will find it far easier to influence the Biden administration than the Trump administration.
