Friendly reminder that if you're a person who respects their individual privacy and freedom, there is no reason to be using the products created by the botnet that is the Google company.
There is a plethora of options available for you to replace your Google apps that are lighter, faster and better in general, including respect for freedom and privacy.

Really want to fuck google, get sessions to file an antitrust suit for google. Antitrust means that their using their own tools in a way to monopolize a market as seen with the recent shutdowns of peoples youtube and email.
Running a search engine that the first result for email is their own gmail is a monopoly on these markets same with videos, most show up as youtube first and mostly all youtube.
Divorce youtube from google, and youtube is shut down overnight since it has never made one penny of profit.
How difficult would it be to get Sessions to bring an anti-trust case against google?

Someone should package a browser together with an and ad blocker and try to spread it to normies. Maybe somehow make an idiot-proof installer for both phones and PC's.
Hell, even making some dumb meme app with computer virus that blocks google ads would be a good thing.

>crying to daddy government to help just because you want to fuck google
We fight by leaving Google for good, and encouraging others to do the same once we've developed a painless egress procedure. Google's user data is literally the foundation of its entire empire. Every user they lose is a huge kick in the dick to Google.
