    I’d probably be paying for YouTube, if it were run by a normal media company instead of the world’s largest spy network and personal data broker. There’s no way in hell I’m giving them my credit card information.

      Data gathering/brokering and payment information security are not really connected. PCI compliance standards are well standardized and fairly strict.

      I would trust Google to handle payment information securely over any ‘media’ company.

      If personal data was regulated at even the fraction of what payment data goes through we would all be better off.

      Yeah I don’t really care about value when it comes to giving money to the guys who work with the NSA and CIA to find ways to more thoroughly spy on every user 24/7, and turned every search into “You asked for x, here’s a dozen pages of what the State Department thinks you should have searched for instead”
