- littlestymaar 9y agoPeople use Google's services (and other privately owned, and «you are the product», ones) because it's the most convenient way they know about. Sometimes it's because it's the most convenient way (lack of credible competition, self-hosting isn't an option for many companies), and sometimes it's because the alternatives are less known (commercial products based on OpenStreetMap are way better than what google maps offer, but few people know about them). An organization like Mozilla could make open-source-based and privacy-aware services for many Google products with ease if they wanted to. (I mean, Framasoft is doing it already and it's a really tiny French non-profit organization !)
