    Nestlé is hard because a lot of product are own by nestlé without advertising it. Google, on the contrary, try to make everything simple for you: one account, to have a mail, a map, a cloud, log on all your website, use a spreadsheet, watch video… etc… The good part: you can do most of those thing, without an account. But it is true, they do a lot to keep you comfortable ingrained in their web of control

      Your right, but most people who would like to leave google services are already embedded in their ecosystem. Google does have their mits in everything, but they tend to put their name on it. There are thankfully alternatives to most products, many better than what google offers. My issue is migrating off their platforms when you built your digital presense on their platform before they were cartoonishly evil.

      It is not a simple process and in my case, Im making a valiant attempt, but its futile. Effort would be better spent preventing new accounts rather than trying to resuce those already stuck in the tarpit.
