They know this is impossible - even with their worthless currency. I guess they will soon provide their own services or they will revoke internet access from their citizens.

    What you don't need Google to access internet

    Yes, but users with basic knowledge don't even get the difference between a web browser and a search engine. Shutting down Google seems like a perfect "simple" explanation for a general digital lockdown.

    You're describing users without basic knowledge.

    I don’t know, I still see a lot of people not knowing this. I’ve seen iPhone users get confused when I use Safari to go to a website rather than the Google app on their phone.

    It’s really a shame because you just know that that Google app is just spyware.
