You've likely seen the news, but it serves as a good reminder to boycott Google and other big tech as much as possible.

Browser, Search and Email are an easy starting point!

There have been a few (justified) comments on the use of 500 football fields, not an actual measurement.

It is 300 hectares or 3 km2
