Amazon is behind [countless evils][RAP-amazon]. It's
|

paramount to boycott Amazon for anyone who cares about human rights,
|
||||
privacy, or the environment. Amazon also has had several data
|
||||
breaches-- Capital One, Juspay, Swiggy, etc., so it's a bad idea to
|
||||
trust custodians who use AWS with the security of your money. Google
|
||||
is also evil. Not the degree of evil that Amazon has achieved, but
|
||||
Google is in the fossil fuel business among other evils. Google is
|
||||
also a central tech giant which (like Amazon) serves as a central
|
||||
point of surveillance and also carries the risks of having a huge
|
||||
number of insiders who can abuse the data. The size of the Amazon and
|
||||
Google datacenters also makes them a likely target for outside hackers
|
||||
due to the high rewards of compromise.
