Have you actually weighed the value that you're getting out of Google services versus the privacy that you (and people) are trading off? Because I feel that people are blindly saying that and are overestimating the value. Let's see:
* Google Maps - great navigation and place accuracy, in exchange for your real-time geolocation and social media posts tagging places
* YouTube - free video hosting in exchange for your data being fed to ML algorithms, which make them billions; also now a great source of disinformation
* Google Photos - free image hosting also in exchange of your enabling of their billion-dollar ML-based businesses
I think I'm making the point in the above examples that they're making more money than what we're turning over, but please feel free to tell me--what other great value do we derive from Google products do we derive from our data?
