No offense intended, but given Google's "privacy for me but not for thee" secrecy and anti-leak stance, this kind of makes it hard to take some of your claims at face value. I imagine honesty could put you at risk of job loss or worse. If documentation for implementing dark patterns existed at Google, I don't expect you'd be disclosing that information. Full disclosure: I find Google pretty repulsive as a whole, so that could be clouding my thought process here.
