Does google collect more information than Apple, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI, Palantir etc?

I don't think so. Collecting data is a baseline for all those companies, you have to rank the evil they do with that data.

Yes. Yes they do. Collecting data is most of the point of Google apps/services/devices.

Google then aggregate all that data in the cloud, whereas even if Apple do collect data it’s almost never sent to the cloud for cross-analysis, it’s almost always on-device and therefore private.
