There are a few lawsuits going in the USA. To which one are you referring?

  Does it matter to my point? My point is that Google has multiple times exceeded their bounds to do something evil to make extra money, so much so that they are being explicitly sued for just some of those now. Your point seemed to be why would they take the risk to do something evil and shady for extra money, when my point was that they already have a history of doing that exact thing. The lawsuit I had in mind was the one calling out their shady AMP practices.

    Sure. The "don't be evil" motto seems like more of a guideline, really. But they're not selling data to 3rd parties here, and especially not something that is obviously personal like health data. Whereas in the AMP case the alleged shenanigans nobody really understands outside of the HN crowd, if even that. They're capable of it, any company is. I think they are much less likely to try and monetize that data source this way.

      Fun fact, "Don't be evil" is no longer officially part of Google's mission.
