>You can get paid in the form of a free OS for your smartphone?
I paid full price for my phone, there was no warning or contract for me selling my data. I also do not remember a clear EULA about me selling or paying with my data, usually this EULAs are emphasizing that data is collected to give us better services not that is sold/shared with third parties.
Add to that, even Android is not so free. Google requires manufacturer to pay a premium to include Google Play Service, which is proprietary, and Android Support. This cost will be transfer to customer, so Android + Google Play bundle is not a free OS. It cost something, just not having a price tag to buy separately.
It means I paid for Google Play Service to be included in Android and they also required me to pay by personal information to use their cloud, which is fine, but I don't have a choice to opt out, or choose to pay Google and not selling my data. The problem is the implicit contract with no opt out or alternative payment to respect my privacy.
