Why is everyone ditching google? I haven't been reading the news lately.

I'm de-USAing in general. Google has been concerning for a while in regards to privacy, but adding in a fascist government with Musk being handed the keys makes US tech particularly dangerous.

Oh man… I can barely do anything at the moment so I don’t know if I’ll be able to do all that :(

I haven't read anything about the US since trump won, to keep my blood pressure down. I guess it's not surprising musk kissed the ring and got a piece of the pie.
