@emsenn@kolektiva.social You partly answered the question yourself. It is not something you can resolve on short notice. The goal for this has to be to split up google so it no longer has that power. And IMHO no company should exist, that could exceed the power of the states it is involved in. Even more so if such a company is lead by single individuals and not by democracy (which is very rare to find). That being said, as the issue you address not only refers to google but to all of these big tech companies. None of these should be allowed to exist in the way they exist now. I remember a writing of a guy who died in the first world war who wrote something like "people love convenience more, than they hate the power". I think that matches with todays issues, as it is hard to convince enough people to take on that fight. Where are we going with this? All the things that limit their access, that informs people and convinces them helps. This is a long run fight. You have to win many people for this. Making the alternatives more attractive helps. Leading others out of the golden cages helps. But no, there is no "You just have to do this one thing, and get to your goal" kind of answer to your question.
