The appropriate defense against this is to simply not collect any information that’s not necessary for the product, and any information you do collect, immediately anonymize (ideally client-side) and never keep the original data. Unfortunately, Google (and Facebook) has a business model that depends on acquiring as much personal data as possible and keeping it forever.
