It's not really a stretch because they don't want you to use the Internet without using Google. That's why they prompt you to immediately sign into Google with their browser and their mobile OS. Narrowing the argument to only what they do outside of their own properties is missing the point in my opinion because their properties are so vast. Like I said, I can really only judge them by what I see - but here is my full disclosure - I honestly believe that in all probability...Google is working very closely with at least one despicable intelligence agency (most likely the NSA). I can't prove it, but if I could those agencies just wouldn't be worth their salt. It's certainly not outside the realm of possibility. Far from it.
