At this point, I think it's safe to assume that Google will lie, both internally as well as externally, cheat, or break any law, if they calculate they will profit by it or can get away with it.
Their track record [1][2][3] does not show a positive or improving trend, so when Google asks me to take them at their word that they are not doing something that would make them more money, I cannot reconcile that with their prior behavior.
