      Actually they are, because Google controls 90% of the internet, most cell phones while Apple controls the rest and does the same, meaning we consumers don’t get a choice.

      We’re just slaves.

        Google controls 90% of the internet

        Google doesn’t control shit, and you’re referring to the web, not the internet. Nobody forces you to use YouTube, Maps or their search engine. The websites you visit choose to incorporate Google analytics and ads, which you can easily block if you feel enslaved in that sense.

                There are plenty of options for running Android distributions free of Google influence.

                    Wrong about what? I’m stating facts and you’re crying about being forced to use products by big companies, which is entirely incorrect.
