It's not really a trust thing. They are companies, not people. The top decision makers have a fubuciary responsibility to do whatever makes money. They can, and often do, get sued if they don't. So you can expect them to sell you out. It's literally thier purpose for existing.

You're right, of course, but I really enjoyed "fubuciary". It's a deliblicious misplomuncitation.

They are companies run by right wing shitbags. How many genocides were conducted on Facebook?
