Oh yeah, by all means, stop using all Google related services, then realize that about 50% of web services for banking, agriculture, logistics, infrastructure, telecommunications, research and development, industry, transportation, healthcare and energy are hosted on GCP
“Oh but my service is hosted on AWS/AZURE”
Yeah and what do you think is the fallback in case of DRP?
Which is a long way to say that Google exists as a prime failure of the government’s onus to regulate businesses. Google should never have been allowed to creep its tentacles into so many facets of life.
Just as with most technology, the Feds have been turning a blind eye, and pocketing cash while tech robber barons privatized existence.
I agree with the sentiment, but GCP typically isn’t the fail over. Most people will start with AWS and fail over to Azure, or start with Azure and just fail into nothing.
To stop using Google you would need to find every app that used Firebase and ignore them, that would be one of the hardest parts. You couldn’t use GitLab or other SaaS tools that work out of GCP. You’d likely need to just get offline to avoid their ads.
AWS is the professional one. Azure has Microsoft power. GCP tends to be less well through of. Alibaba isn’t far behind GCP. Even a fistful of smaller providers will collectively have double the users/revenue or more It is usually 30% for AWS, 20% Azure and 10% GCP these days.
Not to say GCP is bad, I like BigQuery as much as the next guy, but alluding that it’s the fail over or fallback for professional companies is not accurate.
This is nothing new for Google, compliance with local laws…
As a business, they’re respecting the current US administration - probably weighing the likelihood of penalties depending on which side of the US legal system they choose to obey.
