There have been countless cases for me personally where Googles tracking is creepy. Like Google Map recommendations, YouTube videos I should watch, misleading ads that send the user to malware bases on interest Google has about them etc, as well as exposure of unauthenticated Google+ APIs that allowed access to sensitive data to name a few.

I think saying nothing bad has happened is disingenuous. As soon as Google gets similar exposure as FB right now, internal whistleblowers might come forward also with more stories.

Also, couple of years ago Google was thoroughly compromised by at least one foreign government, ever wonder how much data was stolen?
