      Good point, except that this, paying for services and still not getting any privacy, is a reality. But maybe your remark was ironic :)

        Paying for services and still not getting any privacy is largely a result of the equally naive attitude that a paid product is superior to a free one.

        In reality neither free nor paid is an indicator of quality and a lot of the time enforced regulations are the only thing that can really prevent a company or organization from putting its own self-interest over that of the customer whenever possible (even though some companies and organizations might do so even without being forced to).

      Spot on. There’s no amount of money in the world that would make them not spy on your and use your data for ads and God knows what else.

      The only sane alternative is FOSS.
