='''Alternative Alternatives to Google Products and Services for google services'''=
== Foreword ==Google’s products (e.g. the Android operating system) and services (search engine, YouTube, Google Mail, etc.) aggregate user data on a massive scale. This data is used to present users with a personalized experience, or in other words, a filter bubble of search results and targeted advertising. There is an obvious potential for abuse, but it’s more subtle than that.
What do we want to promote here? other centralized/proprietary services This “filter bubble” not only exploits our tastes, experiences, behaviours, biases and turn them into revenue, it also blocks everyone from having some "neutral" (or common) vision of what exists over the internet, therefore reinforcing biases and tools polarizations. Furthermore, it manipulates people into habitual use of their products. Just try to just replace observe yourself when you are bored or depressed: Can you resist the ones of Googlecompulsion to visit YouTube for that instant reward?
Or document only This opaque capacity to influence what people may or may not see (besides the pieces of common infrastructure comprised of Free/libre softwareeeeeee, decentralized and distributed services and endanti-to-end encryption? (competitive behaviour it represents when the same company owns the advertisement market) is overall an immense political power we cannot tolerate nor let unaccounted for instance self. It silently puts Google and other companies above the law. Remember: Any profit-hosting of data oriented business is only as lawful and services ethical as more than an "alternative" but also it needs to be in order to avoid prosecution. It’s a different way calculated risk. The line needs to think of the politicsbe drawn by us, therefore the infrastructure of data&communicationsconsumers..?) (Maybe using the "discussion" tab or other channel for that purpose?)
The fact that it is hard for most people to escape Google’s grasp itself is worrying. Hence, this page is used to gather alternatives to Google products and services which respect user privacy.
==Mobile Operating Systems== [https://sailfishos.org/ Sailfish OS] — Based on open source, developed by Finnish company Jolla and the Sailfish OS community. Licensed devices come with a (proprietary) Android compatibility layer as a stop-gap solution to the relatively small amount of native apps.[https://puri.sm/shop/librem-5/ PureOS] — Privacy-focused operating system and mobile phone. Several choices for UI and software. Phone has CPU separate from baseband processor and hardware kill switches. == Existing resources Resources and guides Guides ==

===Arguments=== The search engine from google collects personal data and connects this data with other data generated from other google services (aggregation of data in profiles). Permanent analysis of personal+behavioural data enables google to serve "personnalized" results, more likely to contain advertisement one may click. This "filter bubble" not only exploits our tastes, experiences, behaviours, biases and turn them into revenue, it also blocks everyone from having some "neutral" (or common) vision of what exists over the internet, therefore reinforcing biases and polarizations. This opaque capacity to influence what people may or may not see (besides the anti-competitive behaviour it represents when the same company owns the advertisement market) is overall an immense political power we cannot tolerate nor let unaccounted for, in the hands of these law-less creeps. ==Email providerProviders==
