Google is starting to make me very uncomfortable. Not only are they the world's largest adware company, but they are growing into other things as well. I am in the process of looking at how to reduce my own exposure to corporate antics on their part. However, I haven't had too much trouble with them yet.

Paypal is different. I have had an account frozen (fortunately with very little money in it and no urgent need to accept more) for reasons which were plain stupid (something about someone another account holder at the same IP address I logged in under at least once did business with). I have a Paypal account I use to make payments only, and only when there is no other choice and I keep a $0 balance there.

So what makes Paypal different is the fact that I have had a bad experience with them so that I will not trust them with anything important (f. ex. money).
