Such screaming! The issue I perceive is that Google and FSF are both at opposite ends of a spectrum. I know that Google has a commercial agenda, and I know that Google uses my data. Maybe the headline should be that Google harms clueless ignorant users. The rest of us have made a partial deal with the devil, and we live with it.
FSF has its own screeching issues in any case. I understand much of where Stallman comes from, and how this influences the FSF, but I don't necessarily agree with Stallmaan or the FSF on every point. In particular, I think that GPLv3 is useful for some individuals, but a hindrance to others, who are free to use GPLv2 (or BSD/MIT/...) as they wish.
The screeching, at times, comes across like that of PETA.
Also: a lot of this post is old and needs to be updated. Android 5.0 anyone?
