Not really. Even the most evil Google one can imagine would realise "your data" is the most valuable thing they possess, selling it would be bad for business. They're selling ads to the highest bidder who's looking for someone with a profile based on your data, but not your data itself.

True, but that's not actually any better. And it still counts as selling your data, just indirectly.
It's completely different in ways that matter to me.
