  I also don't see them as my "captors." I'm able to live without electricity but I'm not about to call the power company and have them cut my feed.

      > Depending on the situation it can be easy to cut yourself from the power company Unless the situation is "There is another power company right next door," I'll have to disagree. If the claim is one can self-generate power, the analogy holds but not in the way, I think, the author means. Self-generation off-grid is a pain... Buy or build and maintain your own generators, your own storage, deal with impedance, deal with the risks of operating on high voltage, equipment breakdowns are yours and yours alone to repair, etc. Similarly, I can self-host my own email, video, web servers, and possibly even build my own voice-activated assistants tuned perfectly to my specifications, sharing my data with nobody... But that's a lot of work when Google has provided all of that for me.
