> It's okay if I agree to it.

That's the typical fallacy. If Chinese factory worker agrees to be exploited in conditions close to slavery doesn't mean that that kind of exploitation is "okay".

Tempting people for whom the price of these services is too high to surrender their basic right to privacy is ethically questionable at best, and in my personal opinion should be made illegal.

What if Google asked people to give up their right to vote, would you think that was okay? Were do you draw the line?

The protection of civil liberties includes the protection of those who don't care about them, because if they can sell out their rights to greedy corporations, it affects all of us.

It's not just about your personal choice. A world in which corporations yield such power affects everyone.

A normative statement that you disagree with is not a "fallacy".

Also, seeing as there is no legally enforceable way that Google could ask anyone to surrender their right to vote, it's an odd hypothetical to base an argument on. Especially an argument for restricting people's freedoms.
