As outrageous as a site having a leak or being hacked. As for what someone can do. It's simple. Don't use Google.

Easier said than done. It seems like 40 precent of sites or better use some sort of google service. Even if you arent 'using' google, you are being used by google.
Yeah, that's true. But you cannot do much about what a site decides to use. Maybe block every connection to Google servers which may break them. Can also stop using those sites as a protest.
One of the big problems here is when you cut out the big tech abusers you find out how hollow the internet has become.
Not using google doesn’t mean they aren’t using you. Kind of like the mafia.
