It's suprising anti-monopoly laws have not kicked in yet. The is no point in having laws if they are not going to be applied. Maybe it's in the governments immediate interest to not rein in a global stalker vacuuming up the world's personal information to have access but paying lip service fundamentally undermines and discredits your own principles and governance systems. Giving in to temporary expedience is a losing end game as other governments will inevitably take action to protect their citizens data. Democracy and capitalism only work if you do what it says on the tin, or you will have to resort to increasingly undemocratic methods to hold on ie bullying, bribing and doing deals with other countries not to take action. Ultimately citizens everywhere lose. Absolute power corrupts helping build more monopolies and its in Google's and its own employees interests that they are split up. Search, Youtube, Maps and Android come to mind.
