10. You can stop using Google. If you don't agree with its rules, you can stop using its services.
One important detail
Google says that, where the law allows, its responsibility for certain claims is limited to $200 or the amount you paid for the relevant service in the previous 12 months, whichever is higher.
In one simple sentence
Google lets you use its services, but you must respect its rules, protect other people's rights, and understand that Google can remove content or close accounts when necessary.
Google’s Terms of Service.
You can use Google normally, but protect your account, respect others, and understand that Google has some rights to process the content you upload.
Google’s Terms of Service.
These are the rules you agree to when using Google, Gmail, YouTube, Google Maps, and other Google services.
1. Follow Google's rules. Don't use Google for hacking, scams, bullying, or illegal activities.
2. Your content belongs to you. Your photos, emails, videos, and documents remain yours.
3. Google can use your content for certain purposes. For example, to operate its services, improve features, and personalize recommendations and ads.
4. Keep your account safe. You are responsible for protecting your password and account.
5. Google can change its services. It may add, remove, or update features.
6. Google can suspend your account. If you seriously or repeatedly break its rules, Google may restrict or close your account.
7. Google does not guarantee everything will work perfectly. Its services may sometimes have errors or stop working.
8. You can delete your content. However, copies already shared with other people may still exist.
9. Google may change its rules. It will generally notify you before making important changes.
10. You can stop using Google. If you disagree with the rules, you can stop using its services or close your account.
Most important thing to understand
Google is basically saying:
"You can use our services, but you must follow our rules.
Your content belongs to you, but you give us permission to use it for certain purposes.
We can change our services or restrict your account if you break the rules."

Is chemotherapy a fraud?-Author Thomas Cayne
|
Chemotherapy is a chemical treatment which is specially designed to attack and disrupt cells all over the body which divide (too) quickly.
And cancer cells proliferate too quickly by definition.
That’s how they form tumors and the like.

Chemotherapy is a chemical treatment which is specially designed to attack and disrupt cells all over the body which divide (too) quickly. And cancer cells proliferate too quickly by definition. That’s how they form tumors and the like.
(Actor James Van Der Beek died in 2026 of stage 3 colorectal cancer at the age of 48.
He had surgery and chemo, but all help came too late.)
As a consequence, chemo also damages other cells which divide fast (such as cells in bone marrow, hair follicles and cells in the digestive track), and that’s the main cause of the side effects of chemo.
So no, it’s not a fraud, and no, it’s not “poison which hopefully kills the cancer before it kills you.”
It does not kill patients at all (although it might weaken them), and it saves millions of lives on a yearly basis.
It targets certain types of cells, and some “good cells” are hit along the way.
Every once in a while patients refuse surgery and chemo (e.g.) because they decide to either heal through “natural therapies” (meditation, acupuncture, a fruit-only diet — you name it), or “die elegantly” instead of risking to die anyhow while being struck by the side effects of chemo.
Two things happen: (1) as “natural remedies” don’t do a thing to stop cancer cell proliferation, the cancer gets all the elbow room it needs to voraciously spread and feast on the patient’s body, and (2) without medical therapies the patient will eventually become much sicker and suffer much more pain than he or she ever would have through chemo.
By the time the patient realizes that he or she chose the wrong path, it is way too late to do anything anymore.
And without the appropriate palliative care, the patient will be torn apart in the electric mist of cancer pain —
And die screaming.

Why companies restrict Reddit
Reddit can contain phishing links, scams, malware links, and other cybersecurity threats. However, that is not the only reason many companies block Reddit on their office computers.
Reddit itself (reddit.com) is a legitimate website, not a phishing website. The main concern is that Reddit allows users to post links and content that companies cannot fully control.
Why companies restrict Reddit
Reason | Explanation |
|---|---|
Phishing links | Attackers can post fake login pages or malicious links in Reddit discussions. |
Malware | Some posts may direct employees to infected downloads or fake software. |
Data security | Employees could accidentally share confidential company information. |
Productivity | Companies may classify Reddit as social media and restrict it during working hours. |
Compliance | Organizations may block user-generated content sites to reduce security and regulatory risks. |
Is Reddit actually dangerous?
Reddit acknowledges that phishing and malware links can appear on its platform. It even uses Google's Web Risk technology to detect and remove malicious URLs.
But a company blocking Reddit does not necessarily mean Reddit has been identified as malicious. Many corporate security products, including Cisco, Fortinet, and Zscaler, can block entire website categories such as social networking.
How to tell why your company blocked it
Look at the message on the blocked page:
Social Networking / Non-Business: Usually a company policy or productivity restriction.
Phishing / Malware / High Risk: A security classification or threat-related block.
Access Denied / Company Policy: An administrative restriction; the precise reason may require asking IT.
One question: When you open Reddit on your company computer, does it show "Blocked by Zscaler," "Fortinet," "Cisco Umbrella," or something else?
The exact message can help identify whether Reddit is blocked for cybersecurity reasons or simply because of company policy.

Why is breast cancer considered so complex compared to other types of cancer, and what factors make it harder to find a universal cure?
copy from Quora author Vitalsign for study and observation of cancer
The search for a breast cancer cure relies on a fundamental misconception. Breast cancer isn't a single disease,it’s dozens of distinct molecular illnesses merely sharing a location in the body.
This heterogeneity is the primary hurdle in finding a universal cure. Breast cancers are categorized by the receptors that drive their growth. Some tumors, fueled by hormones, are estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) or progesterone receptor-positive (PR+). Others overexpress a protein called HER2.
And some, known as triple-negative, lack all three of these targets.
A drug designed to block estrogen will starve an ER+ tumor but do absolutely nothing to a triple-negative cell.
Even within a single patient, a tumor is not a uniform mass of identical clones. As cancer cells divide, their genetic code becomes highly unstable, leading to rapid mutation.
A tumor might start out with uniform characteristics but quickly evolve into a mosaic of genetically distinct cells.
This internal diversity makes treatment a moving target. When a patient receives targeted therapy, the drug acts as an evolutionary pressure. It might wipe out most of the cancer cells, but any cells possessing a resistant mutation will survive and multiply. The tumor that eventually returns is biologically different and harder to treat than the one that was initially diagnosed.
The cancer's microenvironment adds another layer of complexity.
Breast cancer cells constantly interact with surrounding connective tissue, blood vessels, and immune cells. Some tumors develop the ability to release signals that trick the immune system into ignoring them rather than attacking them.
When breast cancer metastasizes, it adapts to survive in entirely new ecosystems, such as the bones, liver, lungs, or brain. A breast cancer cell that thrives in the dense tissue of a liver requires entirely different survival mechanisms than one growing in the breast. Researchers treating metastatic patients are fighting cancer cells that have genetically rewired themselves to conquer a foreign organ.
