Perhaps I was unclear. Cloud services are not free software, regardless of whether their infrastructure is based on free software. Anything you cannot modify is not free. It's slightly more free for the developers, who at least get some say it what runs on the cloud - it's not free in the slightest for the users, i.e. the people whose personal information is being harvested.

As far as I understand it, from the point of view of the FSF they are neither free nor non-free, since, according to their terms, the software is not being "distributed" (you are not running it in your own computer).
