I would not recommend obfuscating the difference between software we're free to inspect, share, and modify versus software we're disallowed from inspecting, sharing, and modifying. The known and knowable is simply not the same as the unknowable. You risk coming off as an apologist for proprietary software, no matter the proprietor. As for services and their adherence to stated policy: policies can and do change (services like TOSBack track some of those changes), and while lawsuits are an option courts are not capable of addressing certain classes of problems like one's loss of privacy; when one's privacy is lost it can be impossible to regain. Courts aren't so good with resolutions to non-monetary problems.
