I hope google fails as a whole in the near future and gets dissolved once and for all. Sick and tired of tech companies trying to be sources of authority, working with authoritarian governments, and dictating what you can and can't do.

    I’ll be honest, tech got us by the balls… and they know it.

    No they don't. There are viable, open source alternatives for 99% of the software/services we use. The fact that people are not aware of it is already like half of the real problem.

    Say that to my banking and credit card apps (some of which don't even have a web version for seCuRitY reasons)

    The open source alternative to those is currently doing quite well.
