This is technically true, but only in a pointlessly narrow sense. They do not sell your data; they hoard it, and sell ad targeting services that use it. They also provide it to the government, for free, as required by law.

But does anybody actually care about this distinction?

It's tiresome seeing the same falsehood repeated in these forums.

If people want a catchy snippet perhaps: Google collects too much of your data, or Google profits from your data.

it’s tiresome to you because you are a liar fighting a tide of truth. if google pays your bills i can’t say that you should definitely be ashamed of yourself, but otherwise you should definitely be ashamed of yourself for trying to mislead people and be as duplicitous as possible at the top of your lungs. i find cultists really tiring.
