* ... authentication via blinded signature tokens*
Hand waving, smoke and mirrors.
When the authentication and the service are both run by the same company on their servers, a huge potential exists for there to be nothing really "blind" about.
As many, many examples show; Google = Privacy Invasion. It's way too late for them to try and establish privacy credibility.

I personally don't think it's a good idea to trust any corporation to be a good or bad custodian of your personal data based on their public image or even past actions. These values can change very quickly, especially in publicly-traded corporations. What matters much more than self-proclaimed statements or public perception are economic incentives, and I believe Google has quite strong incentives to not get hit by huge fines for violating the GDPR and other privacy regulations.
