    Taking a stance against corporate overreach feels extremely necessary to me.

      That is like saying standing up to authoritarianism is extremely necessary, while proposing to drop nukes on Russia. There are 100 better ways to do it.

        Yes you’re right, blocking a single corporation is totally similar to dropping a nuclear weapon on a civilian site, you’ve shown me the error of my ways.

        Holy fucking hyperbole, Batman!

          When looking at the relative difference between cost of your solution, it’s benefits and cost of normal solutions, yes. It is extremely similar.

          But go ahead nitpicking my exact choice of comparison instead of addressing the glaring issue with your argument.

            What “normal solutions” are actually in progress with any real potential of happening? Be for fucking real.

            Meanwhile what insane doomsday scenario do you think would happen if Google services were banned and people had the given period to find alternatives?

            You’re talking about a fantasy solution that doesn’t exist then blowing the consequences of this possible action wildly out of proportion in gross hyperbole.
