    if only more people move away from Google shit. The problem is always about the sheer number of apps Google has. I can switch no problem, but convincing my relatives or even a company to switch? Thats tough.

    The dying frog asks the scorpion why it stung despite knowing the consequence, to which the scorpion replies: “I am sorry, but I couldn’t help myself. It’s my character.”

    I mean, yeah fuck Google, they’re full-on evil and I refuse to use any of their shit.

    But can we also talk about the fact that a person is in the country fully legally, and because they went to one protest a department that has nothing to do with that at all came after their data? The same department which is known to kidnap and disappear fully legal residents?

    Anyway, expecting any us-based corporation to prioritize customers over government is a fool’s errand.
