Oliver, I can't believe what's happening in the USA..



The squashing of free speech by monopolized corporations connected to the Democratic Party, the use of mob violence that has been encouraged the same party for the past four years, electoral fraud, and the suppression of opposition..



The USA will be a very less disirable place to live in four years, unless you're a multi-millionaire.

I started purging anything big tech related a few months ago, but need to completely get rid of backup email accounts and such.



The only thing I'll really miss is Spotify. It's going to be difficult. I'm putting that one off till the end.

Good for you Oliver!



I tried saying for years, stay off Facebook. Now look how they are. ALL Big Tech is now in on this shit.



No more Amazon for me. The only thing I used them for was shopping, no Prime.

I have never dealt with any of the biggies (also including the biggy internet platforms)  as a matter of principle .. n e v e r .. no exceptions



It's enjoyable dealing with manufacturers directly or with smaller  individual suppliers when manufacturers deal only though suppliers or outlets

The only large purchase I have made directly from a manufacturer is when I bought an efficient woodstove from Napoleon here in Barrie.

I aint ever had an Amazon account.The old lady, my son and doughter in law do though.



But, about the big tech/democRAT party assault on free speech, and opposition. Leaders in Germany and France attack Twitter's move to ban President Trump, blast Big Tech for curbing free speech. So did the ACLU.

I don't trust or like Elon Musk, but he is useful for now in the people's fight against censorship.

Elon Musk warns Americans will be 'super unhappy' with tech giants gatekeeping free speech



Responding to an article shared by the satirical conservative website Babylon Bee, Musk said "[a] lot of people are going to be super unhappy with West Coast high tech as the de facto arbiter of free speech."



The comments from Musk comes as big tech companies launch a crackdown on conservative speech on their platforms. Twitter and Facebook have begun banning conservative accounts beginning with President Donald Trump's, leading conservatives to search for other social media platforms to host discourse.



However, some pro-free speech social media outlets such as Parler have also been targeted by big tech platforms. Apple and Google both removed the Parler app from their respective application stores within hours of each other, with Parler's web hosting service, Amazon, removing Parler from the internet entirely as of Monday.



Musk, who left Silicon Valley for Texas in 2020, has been critical of big tech giants in the past. Shortly after the recent purge of conservative accounts on social media platforms began after the Wednesday Capitol Hill riot, Musk took to Twitter to advocate for the app Signal, an encrypted messaging app which Musk has donated to.



Musk also has strong relationships with other notable free speech advocates such as the podcast host Joe Rogan, having appeared on his podcast twice.

I can appreciate your decision. But, we are talking about top ten biggest companies in the world. Economic boycott will not work. Particularly since they have the ability to marginalize you. Along with their government partners of course.
