I don't think the burden should be on users, but I do think some of the burden should be on the press. If the press just assumes Google is up to no good and never does the investigative reporting needed to show it, we will miss out on having very politically useful evidence.

    Yeah, journalistic integrity is important, and they shouldn't slander Google, due diligence and what not.

    But there wouldn't even be a need for an article or any investigation if Google and other tech companies weren't treating user data as something they have a god given right to.

    That's my point. It doesn't matter what Google does or doesn't do with the data. They shouldn't collect it unless I tell them they can. It's MY data. It's MY right to keep it private or destroy it as I please. That's the baseline all tech companies should adhere to.
