This is a false dilemma. There's no reason we can't both work towards better wages for everybody and support cheaper services for poor people in the meantime.
A lot of them are poor, because we don't want to pay a decent amount for the products that we consume and instead rely on people working in sweatshops in third-world countries.
You don't solve poverty by giving them 'free' products that require them to give you all their private data. You solve poverty by giving people a decent wage, so that they make these decisions themselves.
