I would add another point. Even if they are not doing anything wrong with all of the data collected right now, there are dangers in having all of that data collected and collated. For instance they could be hacked, bought or raided by a government entity just to name a few possibilities. Google doesn't have to be evil in order for their data mining practices to have a negative impact on your life and the lives of millions. It's the same reason we limit governmental power, not necessarily because the administration of the moment are bad guys, just in case bad guys get in later and abuse governmental power to deprive the people of their freedoms. There are a lot of people out there that will use any edge they can get for money and power, to pretend otherwise is folly. Lessons of history and all that.
