I'd say there is quite a large difference between Google and Jolla, namely that one is a company that makes its money by selling your data, and the other isn't. Google has a lot more information on you even if you don't use it, chances are at least one of your contacts uses GMail or any of their other malware. For a while you weren't even able to create a Google account if you did not use your real name!

Btw, please don't see my reactions as defending Jolla. I'm attacking nonsensical accusations.

@Yminus: "Things may change." Of course. That doesn't mean they will. Maybe tomorrow Microsoft will buy Jolla. Maybe Apple will. Maybe even Google. This is nothing more than speculation, without any good reasons, even.
