Not at all. He used a service for years, for free. He got what he paid for, in fact he got more than what he paid for. > I'm not sure that difference matters.

It does. Customers pay money. He is not a customer.
- ClumsyPilot 5y agoThis attitude is exactly the problem - we are selling our data in exchange for a service. If it's value were $0, Google would go bancrupt. So this 'pretend the service is free' thing needs to die because Google has been able to make billions. Clearly they are making a profitable trade. It's basically digital barter Where there is profitable trade both parties have certain responsibilities. Personally I stopped using free services everywhere I can because of this legal vacuum leaving me exposed.
- notyourday 5y agoYour value of the service is the exact the amount of you are paying, which is zero. You do not have a say in what Google does with others - in fact others are paying Google so it is clearly that Google's services are valued by them.
