We are not talking about businesses anymore, we are talking about necessities in life that have the monopoly to do whatever they want and change people's lives around.
Btw I am using duckduckgo, its results are quite good compared to what it was 2 years go. I don't miss google and its 2-5 ad's per search. Thing is I don't see duckduckgo overcoming google at any point, as for the normal everyday person google is just a searchgod and thats it. An everyday normal guy can't understand the implications to his privacy by google,fb etc getting data off him/her. So he/she won't change to something else, until is forced to.
