  > You put everything read only, and you give a 2 years notice before applying the sentence. This is probably still a multi-billion dollar cost when spread across the economy. There are going to be tens of thousands of workers who now have to work on migrating off Gmail/GCP/GSuite rather than doing anything actually productive. A migration like that is usually a multi-year effort, involving huge man-hour expenditures. We could just set a fine equal to their profit for X months and accomplish roughly the same thing without upending half the businesses in the world. > What do you think inflation is ? Their externalities being taxed on the population. Since we have to pay no matter what, at least they should feel it too. Inflation is a decrease in the value of currency, and the causes are not well-understood. Pinning it on Google is pretty spurious. We had low inflation through years of Google doing shady things. I can't ascribe a cause to inflation, but I can pretty confidently say that Google doing shady things isn't the major cause.
