Besides, I don’t think we should have a black and white mentality here. Yes, we shouldn’t use privacy-invasive Google software, but if they make an ethical software/hardware, why shouldn’t we support it? It’s actually a nice way to tell Google that there’re ways to make money by making ethical products, like the Pixel phones.

To be honest I don’t know, “estadunidense” is not as used as “americano”, but I do think you’re right. People who use “estadunidense” tend to be more anti-US.

When they aren’t imperialist bootlickers.
That’s not an ABSOLUTE true if you’re talking about Brazil. Yes, some people prefer to use the term “estadunidenses” over “americanos” for political reasons, but I’ve seen some people on the far left using the term “americanos” too. The problem is that “estadunidense” is a long word, even if it has just one additional syllable compared to “americanos”. Most Portugese words has 2-3 syllables and people tend to stick with shorter words.
