You can't just open source the algorithms - you also have to release the data and the platform on which the algorithm was executed. This is becoming a major problem because a lot of research papers publish their results and their methodology but not the data so it's not reproducible. A LOT of the data Google would have would be semi-private. It's generally OK if Google has it because (arguably) the user shared the data with Google but they might not want other people to have access. I'm not saying it's right - just that it's a problem
