My husband owms a small business. Google refuses to let us decline to use their services. They call us EVERY DAY despite repeated opt-out attempts and angry phone calls. They use a local number to fool us into answering the phone. I yell at the caller. They hang up on me. They call again tomorrow. I fucking hate them.
