I just spent the last few minutes skimming through that article but, if there was a bombshell (or even 'spooky') allegation in there, I didn't find it. Maybe this is more a comment on the quality of the writing than the merits, but if anyone out there could explain what is actually being claimed here, that would be really helpful.
Spooky being google intertwining with the institutions that are supposed to defend your rights, and defend them from google, if necessary. But how is any govt able to do that if google is such a huge factor in making their interests heard.
