How can you say that? What control do they have? The only way they
could have any control over your Internet traffic is if you use them
for searching and then click on the results. The results mind you are
not altered by them only ranked in an order based on the criteria you
specified in your search.

The personal data is another issue. Granted they have it, but what
have they ever done that was bad? They use the personal data to
provide services. The fact that they have it can't in itself make then
some evil corporation plotting to take over the world.

They offer a free ,capable email service and they don't force ads on
the recipients unlike your hotmail account.
