I wouldn't place unconditional trust in any of the agents shaping global policies. On the other hand, you cannot resign to placing no trust in any of them. Advertisement is one of the lesser evils among the business models of players of global policies, which can include slave labor, child labor, polluting resource extraction, and war. I usually trust Facebook and Google less than democratically elected governments, but more than authoritarian regimes.

That's a fair statement.
