It never ceases to amaze me, that despite the pattern of behaviour, people continue to be willing to consider that Google/FAANGs/politicians/etc are just a bit thick and don't get it.

(Not a dig incidentally, just that at some point the pattern of behaviour must reach a point that swings Occam's Razor to malevolence being the most likely explanation)

Exactly.

1. History of privacy violation? Check.

2. Increasing pace and scope of privacy violations? Check.

3. Financial incentive to continue and expand privacy violations? Check.

4. Lack of legal oversight deterring continuing and deeper privacy violations? In every single nation, check.

At this point the onus is firmly with Google / Alphabet to prove the ethics of their actions, because we already know their intent.
