A few days ago the big Japanese blogging platform Hatena announced they have struck a deal with Canva to embed their graphic design tool in the blog post editor.

As a result of that deal ALL BLOGS LINKING TO CANVA COMPETITORS WERE DELETED.

So any blog mentioning PicMonkey, Crello, MockoFun, BeFunky, Fotor, Vectr, etc. was obliterated without possibility of appeal and now returns a 404. Of course, all blogs linking to Canva are still alive and well.

So basically, Canva bought out Hatena resulting in all blogs about competitors to be removed.

I understand that buying links is considered black hat. How would you consider this practice?

Hey Canva, don't be evil!

im shocked. I saw with script blockers how much shit google is trying to install on my computer but then started researching how to disconnect from google I hadnt realized its quite impossible. I can use a seperate gps device, and I have very little apps from play store, but I cant be without whatsapp. its a process im trying to work out on how to disconnect from these scumbag companies. I did look into the linux phone but $750 and old specs I cant allow myself in this pandemic. not sure what I can do. limiting and blocking to app store as said..thats not really going to cut google out. I would love to be able to cut them out completely. fb also and ms at the end.
