    No offence but comments like yours serve no purpose other than to impede non-tech-savvy people’s digital empowerment.

    I would argue that empowerment is more associated with capability rather than privacy or social justice (Whatever reason people are protesting Google); and having an all in one stop is incredibly convenient, and thus capable.

      Sounds like the type of person who would buy a smart toaster and give Google even more intimate data they can use to predict you.

        Okay, let me empower you with living on Mars in a small shack that’s temperature controlled with oxygen

        Wow so much privacy… you’re so empowered now.

            True, it’s about what you value.

            And if you don’t care about privacy or punishing google for some reason or another, then there is nothing empowering about switching services.
