Which of them is evil? The closest the is the anti-trust settlement, but the reporting around that is kind of murky. I've never seen a proper report of exactly what it related to. The others are arguably good. For example, the Schneier article is about how Google has a interface to Gmail to allow it to retrieve data when it receives a warrant. That was what got hacked, but I think saying that makes it evil is a pretty long stretch.
