We've already seen in 'Collateral Murder' several wars ago how these things happen.
Sure, there are already alternatives for everything from these companies. But the material and mental costs of migration are not insignificant, so many people shy away from this migration, even though they would actually much rather say goodbye to these tech giants today already.
That doesn't make sense to me. While it's true that most people do not have a conscious contact point with these companies on a daily basis, large portions of our modern societies would face a breakdown at least after several weeks, if these companies disappeared tomorrow.
Even if the hardware and structures would stay - the companies are needed to run and maintain that. Each of these companies has several ten thousand employees, they surely would notice a difference for a start, I guess.

Guess what, we can have new experiences any moment.
Spending much time and money to preserve all the present experiences without gaps and to combat the fleeting nature of all things and to capture every moment of my life for the future seems wasteful. I did this too in the past but the older I get the more I find that I'd rather spend my time in the present moment.
Not having so much, being more. The more we collect and accumulate, the more that holds us back.
But hey, I don't want to discourage anyone and I can understand the approach.
You deteriorate. We all deteriorate. What's the point of that illusion of having a perfect eternal storage medium for data? It's the experience that matters.
Maybe pay the artists?
Covfefe.
During the court trial, a witness testified that he had essentially done the same thing to her. He took her on excessively difficult hikes with inadequate equipment, then talked her into continuing, only to leave her crying and distressed in the middle of the night on the Grossglockner.
You started the war on your own, now deal with the consequences and stop whining that nobody wants to join your stupid endeavour.
