There are few other powerful countries, with countless Web services, who freely wages war(s) on other countries and support wars in many different ways. Is there a way to avoid their products?

As a European, I'm also increasingly in favour of avoiding American companies. Especially the big corrupting near-monopolists.

It's worth pointing out the flaws of all bad actors. The more info we have, the more effectively we can act.

Whataboutism doesn't get us anywhere — saying "but what about X" (insert anything for X here) usually results in doing nothing.

Some of us would rather take a stand, imperfect as it is, than just sit and do nothing. Especially in the very clear case of someone (Kagi) doing business with a country that invaded a neighboring country for no reason, and keeps killing people there.
