Here’s a prime example of the ways Google fails to protect your privacy: they used the content of your emails to serve advertisements…check out this video ad by Microsoft to portray it in a more contemporary way. One more reason I am VERY hesitant to jump onto their bandwagon.

Other reasons:

They no longer discount for “religious” non-profits, just all the others…

Their platforms, like the Android, are notorious for unsafe applications…

They are always in some lawsuit over violation of personal privacy…
