I don't possibly see how. The services cost no money, thus they are unequivocally free. Perhaps one could reasonably argue that just because something is free doesn't mean the user isn't entitled to any rights, but torturing the definition of free to suit your argument strikes me as obviously fallacious.

Because advertisers pay them. This logic is like saying FM radio isn't free because it has ads, this is just not true.
