Amen on M$ and Google. Microshaft drove me towards Linux long ago - except Linux wasn't really user friendly at that time. I finally gave up and bought a Mac. Yes, Apple is a big, corrupt corporation, but it doesn't even begin to compare to Microsoft.
Unfortunately, it's hard to completely avoid bad operators on the Internet; it's kind of like complaining about using fossil fuels...while taking the bus to work.
But it's important to at least be aware of the people hiding behind the curtains and do what you can to steer clear of them. The power they have over not just software but the Internet is amazing.
