> in most parts of the world people trust their local ISPs more than giant US corporations
On what is this assertion based on?
I'm part of this world and I'm not a US citizen. I do not trust my local ISP, because they log and report traffic to local security agencies. It's bening at this point, tracking illegal activities, but they can connect whatever I do with my real name and address.
If I were to guess, in most parts of this world people don't have freedom of speech and fear repercussions from their government for their online activity.
The profiling that US companies do for serving better ads is essentially a first world problem, and a pretty irrelevant one for most people.
Also if we had such deep mistrust in US companies, first of all we shouldn't be using devices and operating systems built by US companies.
