Is it scumbag of them, or are we the scumbags for refusing to adopt any software unless it’s free? Would you rather they parse all your private communications

Is it scumbag of them, or are we the scumbags for refusing to adopt any software unless it’s free? Would you rather they parse all your private communications for advertising profile purposes and keep it free-as-in-Facebook? It was basically a decade-plus free trial. I can’t see how that was a bad deal. I pay for email(Fastmail) because I want to support the team working on keeping my main communication channel working smoothly, and would rather not have my emails parsed by the advertising surveillance state.

> Would you rather they parse all your private communications for advertising profile purposes At minimum, they do this for internal use.

> Would you rather they parse all your private communications for advertising profile purposes and keep it free-as-in-Facebook? Is this sarcasm? You know they literally do this, right? And even if they didn't, not doing it doesn't give them a pass to promise people something and then take it back.
