First off, as many know, this is not a single incident. This has happened to many of us (including me) from "sanctioned" countries. (I am from Iran, but live in Germany)

But this makes me think. Many of the services I use are from US companies. Most notable are: Gmail (Google Drive, Google Calendar, etc.), Github, Dropbox, Trello and Toggl. Should I be worried? Should I actually start switching away from these services before they close my accounts and remove all my data without notice?

Toggl is not US, it's from EU. But even as an European I feel uneasy when dealing with US companies, because the political landscape there seems to be quite unhinged.
