Resistance can be as simple as using certain terms:

"online video" instead of "YouTube video".

"online search" instead of "Google Search" (or "do a search" instead of "google it".)

"music playlist" instead of "Spotify playlist".

Do not give these company any free advertising by using their names.

Do not make them the default term for something.

@rasterweb USA instead of America. The continent doesn’t follow that country and we want to stop their influence in the world. Words matter.

@jailandrade I've long said that there is no America... There is North America, and South America, but my globe doesn't have a placed named "America".

@rasterweb America definitively exists. You can ask any Mexican or latinoamerican and they will tell you that America is our continent. It’s the land of our ancient civilizations and even after the fall of the USA will still be our continent.
