I expect if I were to pay for an alternative to not have my privacy violated.

The whole free versus pay argument is sophistry. Many pay products usurp your privacy. Your television is selling your viewing habits. Your car telematics solution is selling your movements. That operating system is mining your activity to sell you things.

And many free products defend your privacy. Linux, VLC, Firefox, IPF, and on and on. More concerned for your privacy than any other product.

So can we please stop this binary differentiation. It isn't useful.
