Kia ora koutou
I'm supporting a cooperative developing online decision-making
software under the AGPL. They recently released a new privacy policy
for their hosted service, including this list of external
dependencies:

Now obviously Amazon and Bing are proprietary and undesirable in every
way. What about the other companies on the list? If Loomio aspires to
be a free network service, and I think they do, what packages or
services could they swap in?
Thanks in advance for any advice people have time to share.

"Voting... is the next to last refuge of the politically impotent. The
last refuge is, of course, giving your opinion to a pollster, who will
get a version of it through a dessicated question, and then will
submerge it in a Niagra of similar opinions, and convert them into -
what else? - another piece of news. Thus, we have here a great loop of
impotence: The news elicits from you a variety of opinions about which
you can do nothing except to offer them as more news, about which you
can do nothing."
