Maybe Google, because of the search engine. Android: somebody will fill the void.

Messaging: people have been switching on hordes to every new free messaging system in the 90s and early 2000s, we will adapt to something else.

Netflix and video in general: same thing without the 90s/early 2000s.

Amazon: very convenient store, we'll spend a little less and somebody will fill the void.

Apple: can't say, never bought anything from them.

By the way, when I couldn't message on WA today I thought day they finally cut me off because I still didn't accept their new privacy policy from months ago :-) I resolved to wait and see for a couple of days.



I dunno. If AWS went away suddenly, or if Google Search/the G-Suite suddenly stopped existing, the internet as we know it would need some time to recover.

Back then the IM population was a lot smaller. Also with "Free Basics" and other things in some regions of the world Facebook plays a game which makes it impossible to switch. (Using Whatsapp is free, for others one ahs to buy mobile data credits)
