I understand what you're saying, but Google does not have a monopoly on anything. You don't have to use their search, their email, or their cloud storage. Ideally, if privacy is important to a person, then they'll gravitate towards services that cater to that need. DuckDuckGo is a great example, where search is concerned. I'm not saying that this is easy. Unfortunately, I don't think that many people care about privacy unless the lack of it gets them into trouble, and then it is only 20/20 hindsight. The burden for maintaining your privacy lies mostly in your own hands. I don't expect governments to do anything other than to remove privacy rights, at this point.
