"Google" is not an entity -- it's composed of people, who make decisions and enable the things that Google does.
Don't hire them.
Don't associate with them.
They're working for a company that, at this point, is obviously doing harm to the world. That's a choice they have the freedom to make. We have the freedom not to associate with people who make that choice.
Note that this advice is specific to non-visa-limited people in high-demand occupations, like other software engineers. They have a choice.

You no longer have a choice to opt out of google invading your privacy. The websites you visit everyday are letting google track you. The websites I use for my work are tracking me via google. My employer also requires chrome for some tasks which allows google to track what I do. I've even seen government websites using google trackers. You just can't escape google on the internet. Google is so pervasive even ARIN is allowing google to track people who go to their site. Google is quickly intruding on offline public spaces as well. When a user-hostile company becomes impossible to escape the only option left is to regulate it to limit the damage, but Illinois made a solid effort to do just that and it made zero difference
