     I've already got rid, for some years, of

     * Twitter (when it was Twitter)
     * Facebook (although only recently I deleted the account).
     * WhatsApp (account still to be deleted, I use Signal instead, with my immediate family, and even with my old parents).
     * Dropbox (I use pCloud instead).

     I still need to get rid of Google and Amazon. The latter is quite easy. The former less so, because I have an Android phone and I don't want an iPhone either. And many accounts linked to google.

     Oh, and there is github too.

     How can I get rid of all American tech in my life, personal and academic?

     I feel like a voluntary slave of tech companies.
