='''Alternative Services for google services'''=
== Foreword ==
What do we want to promote here? other centralized/proprietary services and tools to just replace the ones of Google?
Or document only the pieces of common infrastructure comprised of Free/libre softwareeeeeee, decentralized and distributed services and end-to-end encryption? (for instance self-hosting of data and services as more than an "alternative" but also a different way to think of the politics, therefore the infrastructure of data&communications..?)
(Maybe using the "discussion" tab or other channel for that purpose?)

==Search Engines==

===Arguments===
The search engine from google collects personal data and connects this data with other data generated from other google services.
Behavioural data too
+ Google serves "personnalized" results, more likely to contain advertisement you may click. This "filter bubble" not only exploits your 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 is overall an immense political force we cannot let, unaccounted for, in the hands of these law-less creeps.
