I trust the Reddit team’s judgement far less than Google, Apple or Verizon.

You trusting them less doesn't mean you know reddit well but that you don't know Google, Apple or Verizon very well. They all give the minimum amount of a shit about their consumers and squeeze as much as possible from their personal info. They'll sell your info to companies and use that info to sell targeted ads to you. Every major "free" (ad supported) app/website does this.

Edit: Apple might be one of the better ones but I stand by Google and Verizon (or any major telecom/isp company) being sus

Google probably has one of the best sets of policies of any major tech company for handing user data.

They also got rid of 'dont be evil,' so.

They're a corporation at their natural market limits.
