Google didn't used to be in the business of collecting every byte of metadata as sneakily as possible to earn every possible cent of ad revenue; times have changed.
Furthermore, this is not one mistake. This is the loudest and most obvious mistake in a trail of increasingly adversarial moves.
Maybe Google's bottom line will go up, but it won't be with me, or with anyone I know if I can help it.
"It is not from the benevolence (kindness) of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest."
Regardless of motivation (which is ultimately unknowable), is the tangible response from Google adequate?
