Re: Google is Evil
What you're forgetting is that it is not always you that is using google or giving your data to them.
Go to the widget maker online shop and they have a map to their store - from googlemaps.
That cool font - from googlefonts.
That javascript library that the site needs - googleapis.
That instruction video on how to use the widget - youtube.
...and so on. You think none of those are giving the goo your very useful marketing data in a way that you actually cannot opt out of if you want to actually get anything done?
There is far more to not using google than just not using their products and services directly. Block their ASN in your firewall then wait & see how long you last before you need to make an exception...
