You have a limited view of what the free software movement is. It's not all about software (despite the name), but most generally a movement that wants to go into the direction of a decentralized and more open internet, where all central entities, not only software companies, but also record companies, publishing houses, banks, and news companies, will become obsolete. It's a fact that news companies are lobbying against the freedom of the internet, just take a look at article 13 of the EU copyright law (that of course the EFF, FSF and Stallman did a campaign against). Other than that, typically free software, takes privacy and anti tracking more seriously. If you use Firefox for example, out of the box most trackers, that are the things that make newspaper earn money for each click, are blocked by default. Of course it's easier to just pay Google a percentage on the money earned trough ads and user tracking because you are sure that they will never allow blocking of them in their proprietary browser. While Firefox, a software developed by the community, you can't control, there is no company to pay to make the software go in the direction of your interests.
