You fail to see what is going on behind "free" services. No one said that Microsoft is good or that they do not track you. They are even worse with their Windows 10 spyware OS.

Problem is that you haven't done your homework on Google's regular meetings with US regime, censorship, manipulation of search results, population profiling etc.

I guess you haven't even read the article, but you stopped somewhere in the middle and then started to defend Google because you worked for them. That's not good.

If most of the people know the full truth and are given the choice to use something for free in exchange for lack of privacy OR to pay for something that cannot spy on you, what do you think they would choose? Judging by how world behaves today, I am afraid of the answer.
