What good does speaking out against a company do? Unless there is some impact on the bottom line why would a company ever change? If one is going to complain he/she should be willing to create a financial incentive for that company to do the right thing.
In the case of Google one could start by not clicking on advertising, not using Google to advertise or not using AdSense (assuming of course that one is currently generating some sort of revenue for Google).

I'd say his public articles have way more effect than his privately not clicking AdSense (which costs Google what, $15 per year?) ever would.
