What “normal solutions” are actually in progress with any real potential of happening?
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.
Progress towards what? People migrating to equally scummy Amazon and Microsoft? What possible progress could blocking google bring, that it would be worth people potentially going without paychecks because accounting sw was not working. Or being unable to access services because they register with gmail they can no longer access. Factories shutting down because their logistics tracked everything in a google spreadsheet they can no longer access and have no backup.
Not to mention people who could outright die if some hospital software somewhere relies on some google service.
