Google does not need to know that a cluster of people (on DU) all accessed the same article, thereby establishing connections among those people that are then fed into the maw of their giant Big Data operation for profit on your reading habits.

By trimming off obvious stuff from the front and back of the link, I was able to go to the original article without going through Google.

https://www.courthousenews.com/law-firm-worker-fired-after-posting-threat-against-face-mask-requirements/

I trimmed off "www.google.com/amp/s/" from the front and "amp/" from the back.

When the OP takes this simple step it means DU members don't have and it means that even those who don't care are protected.
