Google is easy to get rid of. It requires willpower.

1. Don’t use or get off gmail (fastmail is good but not free).

2. Limit your use of google search. If you need to try to mask your identity as best you can.

3. Don’t buy google hardware. Because you and your data are the product for google. The hardware is a Trojan horse.

Apple is better? it's either Android or Apple then, isn't it?
Of course, Apple is not better. It is equally bad. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jun/06/us-tech-giants...
Android is Google.
i guess he means -- either use an Android (google) phone, or use an Apple iOS phone. but is apple better than google in this sense (data collection)?
yes, my point is. i don't know if using apple products and getting into that ecosystem is much better than google's ecosystem
