Sure, of course they are...threads like this just will never end as the opinions of "well at least they're not as bad as company XXXX" will just set off somebody else. Personally, I'm still pissed at Nokia for the Lex Nokia episode, so that's why I see red whenever I hear somebody claim Nokia cares about people's privacy.

In the end, of course no company is truly "good" or "evil". A person at the helm of a certain company of course might make a decision that ends up being one or the other ("let's not agree to censorship", "let's sell this crap to Iran", etc.) But of course there's no Dr. Evil in real life, just a bunch of companies making silly electronic gadgets that grown-up people can argue about while they should be doing work.
