Hmm that’s the thing AWS and Google and Microsoft have majority of the govt contracts and big tech . But for anyone looking to switch, there’re providers like Hertzner, Akamai, Digital ocean , Hostinger and a bunch of other smaller (more local) providers. have to look into their ownership as well
I haven't got my Hotmail account(Microsoft) for a while. Have you on Amazon last week.
Giving up on Google too, will fuck me up a bit (Google pay, for instance..) .. if it's owned by that slimy Zuckerberg, I definitely will rethink giving up, though🤔🤔..
I started deep diving alternatives & they’re out there it depends on what you’re looking for and if you’re willing to spend a few extra bucks or get subscriptions but its definitely worth the effort to avoid the big corporations who don’t have any interest in having a positive impact on the world🌎
Mostly looking for ways to get my union away from the big players. We still do a lot of info on Facebook, for example. And I'm sure everything is hosted on AWS.
I know what you mean. I see how starlink is beinf integrated into everything now with any kind of technology and it’s a scary rabbit hole to go down but it gets worse from there. Please refer to my latest post from @newrepublic.com
These bitches are everywhere….. I had no idea of their reach. I think this is why they buy up little companies to add to their fucking arsenal of no competition. Americans need to start paying attention because we are currently fucked. The only thing we have is our wallets.
AWS provides cloud computing for thousands of companies and governments - in 242 countries and territories. And consumers have no way to 'boycott' that. Plus many other subsidiaries - WaPo, MGM etc.

We should all include Washing Post as well

This is a great thread, very helpful ideas.
Huge numbers of websites and apps are built on AWS, which means all those companies are paying Amazon every month.
It’s huge money as well. Millions of dollars a year for the bigger companies.
