It would take literally moments. In a matter of weeks you could replicate Facebook, which would be the harder one. There are substitutes for everything that Google does that are done without surveillance capitalism. Do not in your mind allow any kind of connection between the services you like and the business model of surveillance capitalism. There is no inherent link there, none at all. This is something that has been created by these people because it's wildly more profitable. </p>",

Il ne faudrait pas beaucoup de temps. En quelques semaines, on pourrait reproduire Facebook, qui serait le plus difficile. Il existe des produits de remplacement \u00e0 tout ce que fait Google, sans le capitalisme de surveillance. Ne permettez pas \u00e0 votre esprit d'\u00e9tablir un lien entre les services que vous aimez et le mod\u00e8le de gestion du capitalisme de surveillance. Il n'y a absolument aucun lien inh\u00e9rent. Il s'agit d'un concept qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 cr\u00e9\u00e9 par ces gens parce qu'il est beaucoup plus profitable. </p>"
