I imagine more the reams and reams of data that Google (and the rest of FAANG) has stored on each and every citizen, including those elected to power. They could utterly destroy virtually anyone sitting in office politically with a few keystrokes.

> They could utterly destroy virtually anyone sitting in office politically with a few keystrokes. I don't think this is necessarily true. The Mayor of Toronto admitted to smoking cocaine, and after that regained his former seat on the city council. The blackmail attempt on Bezos just recently. Trump is president, despite the mountains of dirt on it. Bill and Hillary Clinton are still touring. I don't think the electorate cares if you're caught doing anything adults do, and low level corruption seems to be the norm in many developed democracies. What could any of the large data-whore companies possibly have on anyone that would utterly destroy?
