“Past performance does not guarantee future results”

I don't have a single bad thing to say about Google, but that doesn't mean that I am not afraid of their power and I don't dread the day that the current management will not be there to keep them in check. And sooner or later that day will come.

Your last statement is a pretty blatant slippery slope fallacy.

Which one? In which way is it a fallacy?

"And sooner or later that day will come."

You have no specific insight on the behavior of Google's future leadership team, so the assertion that Google will necessarily start abusing their users at some point in the future is unsupported.

(Apologies if this is coming off a bit blunt, there's just not much else to say)

You are right.
