I agree with you. People certainly need to stop any BS justifications in using major providers that are meant to spy on, censor, and manipulate the masses, however, this only works to the degree that there are good alternatives. Without question people must stop using Google and Facebook at a bare minimum, but there are other platforms that are more difficult to get away from.

My simple answer.. Just stop supporting or using anything from Google or Facebook as a first step today. These are absolutely the two worst abusers. This would already take us all a huge step forward.
