The first link is really a great retrospective (thank god for PBS) and it gives a much more nuanced look at the situation than the overly simple statement you made. The final outcome showed, at least for me, that Google is willing to learn and grow from it's experiences[1]. Thank you for sharing it.
All-in-all, your essay reads like a conspiracy theory that takes leaps of reason and logic so large that it would probably be better received and more relevant for some other parts of the internet. Anyone on HN understands Google's business model and the trade-offs involved.
On the other hand, there is nothing wrong with trying to drum up support for better policies from the services you use. However, this over-the-top rhetoric does not help your cause, and may even hurt it. Google certainly has room to improve (I might even be with you on some substantive points that were not mentioned), but IMHO, they have done a much better job than many of their competitors at freeing up users data[2] and being transparent[3].
