Trusting a corporation, any corporation, is a bad idea. There is nothing there to trust; any ethical behavior by a corporation is a calculated behavior, executed purely for the maximization of profits. Hell, working for a corporation should be viewed as a calculated behavior, as one is working for an entity with a legally mandated anti-human profit incentive. Speaking as a person with a graduate degree in economics, we're on a bad path that needs to be revised soon, or Fermi's Paradox of technological destruction will be our fate.

Trust isn't binary. You need to trust a corporation to use any of their products that aren't solely disconnected goods that can be independently tested. That trust isn't absolute; it's relative. And that's my point: my trust in Amazon is slightly higher than Google.
