So I've heard a lot of "the botnet", usually in reference to cloud computing and corporations selling information.
My question is, with all these companies supposedly guaranteeing "privacy", how can they get away with this?
What even *is* the botnet?
What's the alternative?

The big companies don't guarantee privacy. Just the opposite, actually. Go real Google or Microsoft's """privacy""" policy. It's full of shit about "we will collect, X, Y, Z, and a dozen other things, and reserve the right to retain and share this information under this list of circumstances that is so broad as to cover almost any situation"

With someone besides the end user using it for their benefit.

They get away with this because when you accept terms of use you allow them to own your data
Best alternative is to self host everything
