I detest Google, so I absolutely have to say this is an absurd way to look at the world. Google doesn't care if it's actions are pro or anti consumer, they care about money and power and go about pursuing it in a way that tends to be anti-consumer.

I think that google doesn't care is precisely the point

Google won't even let you know the app privacy on their iOS apps, how could they possibly be pro-consumer?

Maybe the downvoters mean "pro-consumer" in that they're pro manipulating people into consuming their advertisements and incredibly invasive tracking?
