Apple: It's easy not to directly use the Apple products. But my friend, colleagues, service providers use it. So although I'm not directly using the Apple products, my private information still captured by Apple. Do I have to boycott them too?
Microsoft: I can live without directly using Microsoft product. But do I have to refuse the websites and service hosted on Azure? Avoid people who use Microsoft products? Also, Microsoft made a lot of code contribution to Linux kernel. Do I have to boycott the Linux kernel too?
Google: Like how? Most of the network traffic goes through Google even if you don't use Google products and service directly. I have to boycott the Internet itself in order to quit the Google.
Facebook: The only company in the Big 5 I can practically avoid whether directly or indirectly.
Amazon: Again, I have to boycott all the service which relies on AWS. That's pretty impossible. First of all, If you are using LVFS(Linux Vendor Firmware Service), which most GNU/Linux distributions use, you're relies on AWS.
