Aha!

So this line from the Computer World article partly confirms my theory of Google being a government:

"The practice is unlikely to change unless users respond by abandoning services that use the techniques. "

This is what I wrote:

"All of a sudden, everyone gets wind of this process and instant outrage occurs. Everyone suddenly becomes a libertarian advocating for privacy and separation from the government of Google. The grand bargain becomes a nightmare. Subsequently a populist based coup d 'etat happens. Google loses its luster, as millions either defect from it or force it to  tailor or stop its information collecting practices. Google's pinpoint accuracy disappears, as it is not able to access information it previously used to provide its exemplary, comprehensive service. Revenues and profits fall and Google is in deep trouble. "
