Depending on goodwill or trust which are fleeting, ephemeral and eventually self serving has always led to poor outcomes for humanity, so much so that anyone who asks for 'trust' cannot usually be trusted. As societies we have learned the hard way the value of checks and balances, accountability, rule of law and consequences to minimize the scope of trust and the arbitrary application of power. People don't trust Google, they just assume the very fact it exists means it operates within the framework of rule of law and there are consequences for straying so there is an implicit trust in the system like the bread you buy is made legally to certain standards. But many may not have considered the scope of data collection, its application and privacy implications fully and will only wisen to them when they are consequences they can feel, at which point the loss of trust will be dramatic or are aware and try to work around them.
