Sorry, paid or not still doesn't have anything to do with whether or not a company will comply with a lawful order, or how much that company will push back. The incentive and willingness to push back isn't related to how much a single user pays, but considerations like the principles of the company, and the estimated aggregate losses from the perception that a company doesn't protect their user's data. Google, for instance, has a much higher potential loss from this perception than a smaller company that charges.

Also, Google does not sell information about their users. They target ads. The difference is huge.
