As much as there are things that are suspect in terms of the health and privacy of humanity inherent in Google's business model, I don't know why they get singled out. I did some consulting work for a company. It is private firm that is a subsidiary of a subsidiary of a subsidiary that isn't an American firm. Yet it has tech in the most sensitive places within the US government and DOD. And the US defence firms? Well, they are multinationals and (for money because there is no loyalty) will provide info/data/tech to anyone. Why would they do this? Because if Iran or China or Russia catches up with us, the US government will just give them more money to stay ahead.
The out of control capitalism in the US is the biggest threat to the health, wellbeing and security of its citizens. Google is just a symptom.
And for the record, I am not a communist. I believe human being need some (healthy) competition and that you should be able to work harder or smarter and get ahead. Just not to the extremes we have developed.
