    Somewhere along the line, maybe the early to mid 2000’s they stopped making products “for” the end-user and flipped it around so the end-user (their data) is now the product, and the customers are governments, corporations, and share holders.

      shareholders

      If 0.000…01% shareholders count:

      Guessing a lotta us have a few bucks in index funds… suppose that ain’t cool, gotta find a principled fund.

      The most principled funds must only invest in like three companies cuz every corp has some problem.
