You're going to get downvoted, but Eric Schmidt worked regularly with the state department, and google employees were involved in spurring the color revolutions.

Julian Assange detailed this in a newsweek article before his name and body were smeared into the ground:

Oh, but they say he's not trustworthy, or that it's a conspiracy theory that he was intentionally smeared. Well, the CIA and their contractors have been doing it for over a decade, even before he was unfairly accused of helping trump:

I think you ran out of tinfoil this one is so large.
Always the response is to smear with the same thoughtless label when no valid criticism is put forward. There is a link to an actual proposal by a CIA contractor, no tinfoil necessary.
Yeah first thing we hear of US gov using tech companies for spionage and data mining. So much tinfoil yadda yadda
