I disallow my blog from being indexed by Google. While they obviously don't care, and really all it does it deny me a large percentage of my traffic (it's a small personal blog, so it doesn't hurt me), if enough people do it or if even one of my posts gets popular for some reason and people are looking for it, Googles results suffer. This seems like a good protest. I always encourage people to put a "No AMP" link at the bottom of their blog or similar, deny Google in robots.txt, and link it to a post or page that explains why you're no longer allowing Google (this one is good: https://uglyduck.ca/dear-google-im-blocking-you-from-my-website/ https://uglyduck.ca/dear-google-im-blocking-you-from-my-webs...).
