Reply to comment by remihoh in Did decentralization hit a plateau? by quaintSloe

I generally trust big companies not to alter or destroy my stored items though. Sure, they're peeking in the filing cabinet, but I feel a bit more at ease knowing it's probably just them gathering metrics and trying to sell me ads. Annoying, but predictable and relatively secure. Idk if I'd be able to quickly trust some decentralized options.

But to look through your personal private messages to serve you ads? I honestly think that is way too out of line

They already basically do this if I had to guess. Maybe not directly, but in plausibly deniable grey-area ways.
