I think we're all struggling with this. In my opinion the tech companies are all playing the same game; one is not more righteous than another. Might as well use the equipment you are invested in. I really appreciate the products they come up with but I am always aware I am on enemy territory and they are able to "revoke my privileges" at any time. We should always have some kind of Plan B in mind.
@lynnexxa I'm also wanting to create the "Plan B", lol :D. Perhaps Linux, FOSS, TOR, etc. I'm also desirous and hopeful of seeing a "Light Web" alternative crafted at some point. I suppose I'm looking for a "bug out" option for our family that will still allow us to utilize the word processing and bible programs we love with highly secured and "light" internet use options. Basically a way for us to continue to use these very effective tools without being monitored or tracked.
