    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.

      Fines.

      Besides, your solution is in progress or “has better chance” of happening? Wake the fuck up.

      Meanwhile what insane doomsday scenario do you think would happen if Google services were banned

      Google runs 12% of all cloud services through google cloud. Yes, I expect a “doomsday scenario” if you just shut that down.

      and people had the given period to find alternatives?

      Sure, give people and companies 5-10 years to migrate and it will probably be fine in terms of chaos, though I would still be very interested to know how many billions of € would the migration cost.

        I think people and societies are vastly more resilient that you’re implying, and would survive an admittedly complex 6 month period to switch necessary services. Would it be hard? Yeah absolutely. But I’ve never accepted “but it’s so hard!!” as valid reason to hold off positive progress.
