It's not about Indians. It's about privacy and Data security. There have been several times when data breaches have happened. If we are a little conscious, we can protect ourselves.
By the way, I stopped using Google as a search engine a few years ago. I use my own search engine(based on
SearXNG) running on the server. I use Protonmail for daily emailing stuff. I stopped using fb and Instagram after the Cambridge analytics case. Using signal as a WhatsApp alternative. All time VPN running for other online activity along with PrivateDNS ControlD and Adblocker Adguard.
I know not everybody follows a similar setup. But people become aware of their data. When they understand How data can manipulate their decision, people will stop sharing.
Definitely somebody can argue that our data is already with that Big company. But the continuation of the data is the most important. If we stop giving our data, soon our existing data on their server will be obsolete for them.
In the end, I am not a Privacy and Data security expert.
