Using FOSS solutions and setting redundancy is not going to work for average users.

I think you’re missing the point here, which is we need regulations to protect consumers against big tech.

Regulations that will do what? I think the parent is correct to call out the entrenchment of first-party services as an issue.

Sure, but until then FOSS solutions are the way to go.

Of course this is not for average people, but neither is making backups.
