What about the data Microsoft has on you? Their Windows 10 OS is basically a data funnel right to their servers. They operate a tracking based search engine that also builds profiles on people. And they have data centers in China that are run by Chinese state run companies.

That is the point. There is no good or bad in this competition. Everybody is in it for itself/themselves. We should think about our strategies.
