Please stay away from Nazi comparisons like "Gestapo", unless it's actually comparable to actual actions of the Nazis. While Google privacy stance may be reprehensible and worrying, these privacy violations do not, last as I checked, imprison people in concentration camps, torture people, perpetuate ethnic cleansing on industrial scale and murder or imprison everyone opposing them. So let's please keep it in the sanity realm. Google (or at least some of it's actions) may be bad, but not nearly like Gestapo or anything Nazis did.

The Chinese government are quite literally putting an entire ethnicity inside concentration camps as we speak. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/15/opinion/china-re-education-camps.html https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/15/opinion/china-re-educatio... https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/07/24/islamic-leaders-have-nothing-to-say-about-chinas-internment-camps-for-muslims/ https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/07/24/islamic-leaders-have-no... No comparison warranted? The only thing refusing to compare the nazis to anything does is lets behavior like this thrive.
