My entire startup is run using Google services. I have such a love/hate relationship with Google. Their services are great, but I'm very far from being OK with how they use my data. This whole scandal has definitely made me think more about it. I'll be discussing it more with my co-workers to see what it would take to move our data elsewhere.
I'd love to see a comprehensive writeup about how to get off Google services as a startup. I imagine someone has already written it...and my first impulse is to Google it. (facepalm!)

- finkin1 13y agoI've been trying to transition into using startpage. Is duckduckgo better?
- aragot 13y agoHope to see European start ups, preferrably in Sweden, do that. They can start with some open source like AtMail or Wordpress and build. Note that a .com domain places the company under US laws. There has been an example of a UK teenager with a UK hosted website be trialled in US for piracy, because of his .com domain. Probably same for .net, .org and probably .perso. So criteria: - European company - Ideally with a very minority of US funds - Not .com, preferably .se or .de. Who's up ;) ?
