It's already old news in fact. "Our friends" the Saudis routinely imprison or kill those who use social media to question their lack of free speech.

Bahrain promises to do the same:

But Google is much worse than social media. Almost all of the websites you visit report back personally identifying information about you to Google, which is then shared with various governments (including our own) to suppress legitimate dissent. Just "view source" of almost any web page and look for Google javascript on the site. (Advice: block all Google domains with Little Snitch or other firewall software. Especially on your phone, since it tracks your location at all times, even if you try to turn it off.)

And Google has absolutely no morality about helping totalitarian regimes like China find and kill people who think incorrect thoughts:

Of course Google also spies on its its own employees in similar sneaky ways in order to know who to terminate:

According to three sources familiar with the incident, Google leadership discovered the memo and were furious that secret details about the China censorship were being passed between employees who were not supposed to have any knowledge about it. Subsequently, Google human resources personnel emailed employees who were believed to have accessed or saved copies of the memo and ordered them to immediately delete it from their computers. Emails demanding deletion of the memo contained “pixel trackers” that notified human resource managers when their messages had been read, recipients determined.

The Dragonfly memo reveals that a prototype of the censored search engine was being developed as an app for both Android and iOS devices, and would force users to sign in so they could use the service. The memo confirms, as The Intercept first reported last week, that users’ searches would be associated with their personal phone number. The memo adds that Chinese users’ movements would also be stored, along with the IP address of their device and links they clicked on. It accuses developers working on the project of creating “spying tools” for the Chinese government to monitor its citizens.
