JFYI Google left China. Not sure about Russia. Anyway that's not an excuse for implementing such a neat surveillance tool.

Fortunately for now you have some escape hatches.

I believe that it would be a smart move for everyone to stop paying for nooses for their own gallows and start investing into privacy. There are some realistic ways to do it, just buy a damn Fairphone for a no-brainer start.

I know they did briefly after some attacks, but I also know that they had very little market share to lose at the time and have subsequently worked to get back in. Do you have a good summary of their current position there?

Nope, why would I? Also I'm pro-google, just pointed to a fact I know.
