  What did she purchase or pay for?

    I think you’re missing the point here, which is that you don’t even own the content you’ve created yourself when you use one of the corporate platforms.

      In what way has Google taken ownership rights?

        Google has restricted what people can do with their content, i.e. their ownership rights.

        Google is forbidding the author from the right to make copies of their own work (aka copy-right)

    she gave google the valuable rights to monitor her activity, in exchange for access to some pretty shitty web services which come with no customer support.

    it was probably a bad deal for her, but there isn’t a lot of competition, there’s a lot of pressure for people to undervalue the rights they’re paying with, and it’s hard to compare how much of those rights are at stake between different companies without the assistance of a lawyer - so it’s understandable that so she and so many people fall for it.
