Isn't it a clear that they set this up to track users to those kinds of sites and feed NSA with that information? Also, they get to control what information they want to let out. Call me paranoid, but I don't trust Google a bit here.

You don't have to be paranoid to realize that information given to a third party can be abused or leaked to other parties. I'd like to believe that most of us are already past the whole "trusting an organization" thing and have already moved on to deciding whether the benefits of using a service outweigh the downsides of said service sharing your information with other people.
If you were really paranoid, you wouldn't post on the Internet where your data traces could be analyzed.
