Facebook is in a completely different privacy universe from Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Twitter and Snap. Facebook actively employs dark patterns to get people to over-share. Google does not. Facebook has a social graph of 2.2 billion people. Google does not. Facebook has been caught repeatedly, systematically and recklessly leaking personal information to third parties over the last decade and a half. Google has not. The 84 million profiles Facebook leaked to Cambridge Analytica is the headline, but it's far, far worse than this. Facebook quietly acknowledged that they've also leaked profiles of "most people on Facebook" to "malicious actors" [0]. There's nothing even close to this in the Google universe. Facebook is the primary vector for subversion of democratic elections around the world (not only in the US, see for example the Philippines [1]). Google is not. There are many alternatives to Google services that are a click away. There is no real alternative to Facebook. So yes, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Twitter, Snap, etc. have a lot of data, so they're on the list. But they're not in the same league as Facebook.
