Another proof that centralized closed services are not a good way to conduct our digital life. Try to depend as little as possible on 3rd parties. Use free software that runs on your machine instead of proprietary services that depend on a server, store your data on your own physical hard drives instead of anyone else's cloud. Sure, concessions can be made when its too impractical to do your own thing, but have in mind that {Google | Apple | Amazon | Facebook} doesn't care about you.
