No.[1] That's what people need to start understanding.
Even if you decide to trust that someone will attempt to act in your best interests (you really shouldn't, see Google's extinct "do no evil" mantra), you can't trust anyone to do so perfectly.
All this aspirational goodwill that fans express on behalf of their favorite FAANGMUULA is the tech equivalent of flat earthing. The facts are simple: no software is perfect, you can't trust any software.

- tibyat 6y agoI actually agree with your point, but what?!?! It takes some serious punch drinking to have ever gone along with that "hee-hee we can do such creeper things but we don't because we're ethically superior" shtick. Anyone who has ever signed on to work for Google has made an obvious decision of wallet/status over ethics. Yet the implication in your post seems to be "if google went cheese, anyone could". I disagree strongly.
