While I agree that Google is likely more trustworthy, I think it is naive to think Google does not sell your information; that's how they make money, right?

that is not how they make money. They make money by showing people ads. All they allow you as a user to do is specify attributes you're targeting and the people that view these ads ... match those attributes as best as possible
