>/g/ thinks they can simply boycott Google
That is never going to work, most normalfags are simply not willing to boycott a service like that for no other reason than they dislike them. Hell, look at Microsoft, every normalfag loves to hate on Microsoft but they still use their services anyway. For normalfags it's 99% convenience 1% principles. If fucking PRISM didn't change people's opinions about Apple/MS/Google then this won't either.

Now I'm not saying google is invincible, but the only way to truly defeat them would be by making their search engine obsolete. Most of Google's products/services are mediocre, the search engine is the only good thing, and it's what started it all. All other Google services are secondary, this is their core. Come up with the trillion dollar search algorithm and their entire empire will crumble.

yeah it's difficult but worth it I think. I have people always tell me I'm strange or "they're going to have your info anyways", or even better "I like the convenience of having an assistant in my pocket who can read my emails and set reminders in my calendar"
we're going to be stuck in this rut for awhile until online advertising dies

We're doing it anyway pleb.

Everyday, people are orienting themselves closer and closer to Stallman. Before, they had to be persuaded. Now, they're being pushed.

If you make it peer to peer you would not even need servers thus have all operation costs on the end user.
