    Good for Google. We don't need people who abuse the power given to them.

    This is super creepy. I'm not surprised that someone crossed the line. But stricter oversight may be needed on Google's part.

    This among other things is why I only use Google for searching (and somewhat neutered at that using the OptimizeGoogle extension in Firefox), and refuse to install or use any of their other programs or services.
