I’m of the opinion they definitely misled everyone to get users. Hey look at this! It’s FREE! Gmail, maps, youtube, all free! Not once did anyone ever say free except you must surrender all of your inner secrets first

They told what you they were collecting. It wasn't "all of your inner secrets", but it turns out that it's enough to infer what those probably are.

I mean I don't think that was the idea back in 2003, maybe I'm naive.
