A reminder that in the past 2 months, Google: * Made campaign contributions to Devin Nunes and several climate denialists * Fired 4 employees for labor organizing * Shut down a Hong Kong map app used to find pro-democracy businesses on Google Play * Did the same on Google Maps

This may not be the best tweet to reply to and ask this question but since we’re on the topic of Google.. do you have any suggestions to users on how they can escape the Google ecosystem after all of this? We seem trapped by their monopoly during their past 5+yr decline

I don't think there's a realistic way to do it, which is why we need regulation and antitrust action. Boycotting Google is like boycotting electricity, you can do it (if you have enough money) but it doesn't address the problem for anyone else.
