You're right, I'm sorry. I edited my post a bit to soften it.

Well, maybe. I would hope not, specifically because Google has made previous guarantees that they do not use that data for spying.

It's different when it's your ISP, which already does tons of shady shit and buried somewhere in your TOS that they do this stuff.

I don't find it any more acceptable, but it would or at least should be a bigger story if Google was doing it with Google DNS.

You do realize your ISP can spy on any DNS records passing its routers with deep packet inspection right? Only DNS(HTTPS/TLS) can fix that.
