SayIt's comment is very relevant so I'm sharing it here: > These companies are like online governments. They have a great deal of influence over very many persons, and can affect their lives substantially. But they are not democracies. They are totalitarian, with one person at the head of the company able to make many powerful decisions unilaterally, if he wishes. [...] Giving you some control over your data does not change the fact that these are essentially digital dictatorships.
