What a strange take. "The building blocks of our lives"??? It would be temporarily annoying not to have access to youtube but I could certainly do without the others.

You can do without Amazon, many of the sites you visit can not, since they use AWS.

Indeed though purposely shutting down AWS for even ten minutes would be the end of the cloud hosting industry. That said, many large European companies are moving away from AWS. We were forced to before our sale to a French company could happen.
