> Google don’t sell privacy.

Of course they do. They sell users' privacy for advertising dollars.

I am not defending DDG here, as they are clearly in the wrong - but let's not pretend that their error is even close to what Google does.

It’s an explanation of why complaints are being directed at DuckDuckGo (privacy is their raison d’être) even when Google is worse (privacy is not their product – or, in wording that’s more ambiguous in isolation, Google don’t sell privacy).
Can you explain how they sell "privacy"? This is thrown around all the time but I don't think it means what people think it means.
Do they sell PII data ?

Because I don’t think they do.
