As long as the data Google is collecting is segregated per-user, then no -- it's not any different.
If Google is learning about 10-20 people per account, and that data never gets combined, then what's the problem?
Google also processes billions of people's e-mails. But they're segregated per-account. So there's no problem. What makes someone's face any different from an e-mail they send?
Again, this lawsuit is not about Google aggregating anything. It's entirely about information that users voluntarily choose to supply, that is used for features desired by those users, and that remains segregated per-account.
