I fully know that Big Tech harvests and sells my data. It is all clearly spelled out in their terms of use and by their histories. But, if someone tells you that they are going to do ABC and then proceeds to do ABC, even if ABC is unconscionable, does that make them untrustworthy?

I completely understand that Google and Facebook will stop at nothing to make money off my data. They will skirt the law and always interpret their terms to their benefit. I go into the relationship eyes-wide-open and they continue to perform to my expectation. I accord them them level of trust that they deserve, and they never disappoint.
