> You don't have a source for your claim either. I'm at least saying that you should recognize how Google provides you plenty of free tools like search, docs, sheets, present, maps, email, etc and entertainment like YouTube. I would argue none of these are free, because they use/sell your data. If it wasn't so google could not exist. > Facebook allows you to connect with your friends, talk to people about your interests, a marketplace, entertainment from photos, videos, streams. Meta also offers Insta for sharing photos or stories and they are investing heavily For facebook and instagram there are at least studies which have shown the harm they are doing to teenagers and children, so there is at least some established facts that show the bad influence (lets not even get into the political bits). > These companies do a lot and I do not think you should trivialize all that they have done by saying that they've done something bad in the past and not even say what they have done. That's a slippery slope though, at some point you can justify working for anyone because you don't want to consider their actions of the past to judge them. What about continued action though, e.g. meta burying their own studies on their affect on the mental health of teenage girls just to continue making their profits. At some point someone has to take responsibility to continue working for them (and some people are even actively involved in these decisions).
