MODERATORS
Google exists to make money off of you. Unless you are actually paying them, you are the product. It's that simple.
Take with a grain of salt any claims they make about you regarding services they will offer you for free.
Paying for a product doesn't mean you are not the product. Corpos will double dip when they have the option.
Modern cars collect huge amounts of data on their drivers despite the company making money from selling the car. Stores will sell your purchase history to advertisers. You can't trust any one with data about you.
Yes, excellent point. Realistically we should trust no one who stands to make money off of us, even if we are already giving them money.
