I just can’t with Google. I do not understand why the web community (mostly) views Facebook as questionable but treats Google as socially acceptable. Lines drawn at their own convenience.
@laura I don't think Google is really considered socially acceptable, *but* a reason to be somewhat less antagonistic about them is that people primarily feel pressured to use Facebook because Facebook managed to get their friends to want them to, whereas people feel the need to use Google products because they actually work better than the alternatives.
@vinnl @laura. It's hard to avoid Google if you have to use it for work single sign on, email, office tools, cloud services, etc. I'd love to get off Google, but nearly all work contracts I have done in the past 8 years have demanded I use it in some way, so getting off Facebook is easy, but realistically leaving Google is hard. I've cut down, but not out.
