Google says you agreed that they can read your mail and capture your search history, even though none of us has ever signed an agreement -- and yet the courts have confirmed such outrageous overreach, the same as the deed restrictions we all signed that can be interpreted to say that you can't plant a little white cross in your own yard. We trust Google and The Villages to not to use their powers for evil -- but in the end, people with power always do. On the day that Google uses your email and search history to create a social credit score, like they do in China, are you going to nod along and tell us that's what we all agreed to, so shut up and do as Big Brother tells you? If so, please don't move to my neighborhood.
My advice is to simply use those little white crosses to find a neighborhood where people expect reasonable behavior -- or where they're militant lawn nazi's, if that's what you prefer,

I live in an area where those white crosses are allowed. That doesn't make me a good neighbor. I don't like those crosses, and I think anyone who thinks that putting one on their front lawn is a surefire way of making everyone think "yeah that person lives the faith" is being a nincompoop. However, they have the right to be a nincompoop. I accepted this when I moved in. Really it just lets me know who to NOT invite to my Satanic Ladies Night. They're missing out. We have a hell of a time
